Then we had the broken ankle and heart attack to worry about.....
Last Thursday we went to the vet, started the treatment and the vet suggested some blood work because with a diabetic cat...it is good to check once a year
Friday night we get the vet's call and it is not good news...her platelets are very very low. The vet wants to double check with another test. If it comes back super low again then she needs to be hospitalized in an emergency animal hospital because it is the weekend and our vet is closed on Sunday.
She will need round the clock care because she is at risk of spontaneous hemorrhages.
Can you imagine the shock I had? As much as we love her we both agreed that if this was the case, it was time to cross the rainbow bridge....
She's diabetic, has chronic diarrhea and arthritis we did not want her to suffer.
We cried a lot on Friday night. Saturday we bring the cat to the vet, they take blood and go back home. And we wait and we cry, we watch tv, we cry, we wait....
I needed comfort food bad! Here one of them is Kraft Diner or Kraft Mac'n'Cheese as it is call in the US. With ground beef, parsley and green onions....delicious
but that doesn't heal that big hole in my heart....
at 3:00 pm the phone rings, neither of us wants to answer it....yes it is the vet. Yoda's platelets are 450 not 20, they are perfectly normal! The lab messed up!!!
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? I felt such joy! A huge weight was lifted, I danced!
And then I felt really tired and a good long nap with Yoda!
