Stolen Organs

You know those rumors that spread around saying that people wake up in some random place in a bathtub of ice water, and when they go to get up they realize that they have been surged and then they find a note that says something like "We have taken your kidney. You have ten hours to live unless you rush yourself to the hospital." ???

Well, apparently this happens around the world - people are drugged, they are surged, their organs are taken out, then they are returned to themselves.

I kind of feel like this is what we're doing to our kitty. This morning Matt will be taking her to the vet to get her womanhood removed (I have to stay home and wait for the air con guy to clean our air cons that we don't use but have to service because it's in our lease...).

Little schmitty kitty is going to wake up after the surgery and be so sore and not know what happened, because she was totally fine when she went in. She has never ventured outside of Casafina (our condo complex) except for the two other times we have taken her to the vet - so she will wake up in a strange place with strange people, and she will hurt. :( I feel terrible for her.

We had to make sure she fasted last night and this morning, so we did not sleep. Usually we let her out around 5 or 6 and then we can get back to sleep. This morning, though, we couldn't let her out, so we went out with her to pee, but had to bring her back. She wanted to get out and explore so badly that she literally climbed the "gate" inside of our sliding door to the CEILING to try to get outside. Poor baby.

I will let you know how the surgery goes. If you want to say a mi shebeyrach for her, her hebrew name is "kittele bat miryam" (it's actually yiddish).
