The wait

As you all know, tomorrow, is the surgery. For those of you who don't know what its for, its for the huge lumps mom has found under my furs near my back side. She found a third one the other day.
The dr. man is pretty sure they're just lymph nodes and i'm a weird kitty.

Funny thing is mommy has swollen lymph nodes in her neck and her dr. did nothing to check to see if she was ok.

Tomorrow morning, i go in and dr. man will perform the surgery, and i will be home later that night. We're having the lumps biopsied.

that means my lumps go to a lab, so that woofie will sniff out the problem, and tell me exactly what my lumpies are. i'm putting a lot of faith in that woofie.

Last night, momma found ANOTHER lump last night.
Its a small bb sized lump behind my right ear. Its never been anywhere near my head before.

Momma is getting a little scared. She was just petting me and i was rubbing in her face asking for pets. And she found another lump.

We will be telling the dr. man tomorrow, so he can take what he thinks he needs.

The other dr.s don't think its a lymph node, they think they are fibroid tumors which are benign. But thats what they think they are. Dr. man is more optimistic.

But, this dr. man is not only my vet, but also a good friend of mommys. She has complete faith that he will be great for my surgery. (he did the surgery on my auntie isis's tooth. if you click that you can see the tooth!)

She is not afraid of the surgery, more afraid of the results. But i'm in good hands.

Now for some thursday morning photos.


Ohhhh the sunshine....


Yes mom? What do you want.


I like to pose.


I saw this nice squirrel teasing my jack russell neighbor across the street.


I was watching these birds make a nest!


Then when i couldn't reach them... i laid down again.


Don't worry too much friends, thanks for all your prays and thoughts, and i'll be back on real soon to update you on how it all went. And remember, i have a photo hunt i have to participate in on saturday! How exciting!
