4:42p What a fun day and something it's been. Ian went to pick up Jasper yesterday and our credit card wasn't working (dunno if they rang it correctly because it works today) so rather than half on the credit card and half from our bank account. All of it came from our bank account. Then when Ian went to the pharmacy the vet wrote the prescription on the wrong paper. Apparently the pain med is a controlled substance. But by then the vet was closed. So a phone call to the emergency vet to make sure they could give Jasper the medicine with only an itemized receipt. Three dogs died while we waited for three and a half hours. I watched a lady name jewelry and chatted while she waited for them to work out a way to treat her cat that was more affordable. She gave me a cute little wire work and bead ring. Then we were called back. I asked if the gabapentin we give him for anxiety that was prescribed to Miso for pain after his surgery could be used. Because he didn't write anything down or touch the carrier just read the receipt and we already had the pills. They didn't charge us. I love vets. I got a brief look at Cat Middleton their office cat. It was midnight. We set up the air mattress for me so Ian could be with Jazzy in the isolation room. Jasper is walking around and has eaten some. I've spent all day in the isolation room with him. I made the mistake of looking up whatbthe prognosis is if it's melanoma. It's a death sentence. But!!!! We don't know it's melanoma. It's more likely not to be. So I'm trying to focus on the good. He's home. He's doing okay and he's not angry at us. With the cone and without the cone: I'm still a bit squeamish about the stitches but he still looks handsome. Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW. current mood: stressed

2:25p I was going to write a silly post about my quest for cake and how delicious it was when I finally got it but then the vet called. Jasper's surgery was this morning. He's currently doing well BUT they found a pigmented structure that could potentially be the big C behind his eye. It's been removed for biopsy and is probably not Melanoma but we are having it tested obviously. Fuck. My birthday is on Tuesday. My 20th wedding anniversary is on Wednesday. My cat may have cancer to go with his kidney disease. I'm not ready to lose another one. I know Jazzy is old but... Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW. current mood: numb

1:06a Glorious beautiful rain. Hopefully this means we're Out of fire danger. Made delicious naan but our Aldis order didn't include our cake or onions. So rather than our Indian food dinner we ate frozen taquitos. Jasper has been stressed by getting his meds three times a day mess. Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW.

2:24p Jasper cat has to have his eye removed after all. There was a chance that the drops would treat his glaucoma but nonsuch luck. It's scheduled for the fifteenth. I'm trying to be calm. But cats with their eyes stitched shut makes me want to vomit. And now my beautiful boy will be one of them. I am very squeamish when it involves the eye. Eye based horror is a no go. Even more than normal gore squeamish. I am terrified. Jazzy is an old boy with kidney disease. It's a less invasive surgery than the PU surgery my ginger baby didn't survive last year. But Jazzy is old with stage 1 kidney disease. Miso was only 5 but his cascading organ failure centered in his kidneys before he died in July. I still can't talk about Miso's death without crying. It's a less invasive surgery but I'm still scared. I know it will happen eventually Jasper, Mushi and Sebastian are all old men. And even the baby, my little black cat, is turning 5. But if I lose another cat to surgery complications... I might break. A great lead into my birthday and our 20th wedding anniversary on the 20th and 21st. At least Aldi's had some Deutsche Küche cake and an apple strudel. Never had the cake before but it looked comforting. I was going to get a kitten for my birthday because I had made progress in my grief but I don't want a kitten while Jazzy is vulnerable and recovering. Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW. current mood: anxious

11:37p Deleted most social media because people comparing the US to nazi Germany and suggesting people hoard years of food was making me anxious. And having a public forum where I criticized things was a potential risk if they are right. I am a ball of stress at all times. Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW.
