In the
morning the hospital called my mummy to give her an update on my condition. I
wasn’t doing too well. My mummy worried that the anaesthesia might have messed
with me; after all, it had been administered to me two days in a row (Friday and
Saturday). However, the hospital reassured her that this was not the case, but
that I had a fever and that my vet (doctor M) had decided to put me on Clavubactin
(antibiotics) and Analgin (a medication to relieve fever). You can imagine how
relieved my family was that they had made the right decision to let me spend an
extra night in the hospital! They were invited to come and visit me in the
hospital at 4 pm to discuss my situation with doctor M. Upon arrival doctor M
immediately told my family that I was an absolute sweetheart and well-behaved;
I didn’t fuss, complain and I didn’t touch my wound, so I haven’t had to wear the
hood of shame yet. I had also eaten twice that day, but hadn’t pooped yet.
She told my
mummy that if she were to take me home, I would have to take four different kinds
of medicines. My mummy was given a schedule where she could see when she had to
give which medication.
My leg is
black and blue and still hurts a lot, but doctor M said I was ready to go home
as my fever had dropped since this morning. After a brief consult (doctor M
urged her let me recover at home – she figured it was better for me than
staying at the scary hospital) my mummy decided to take me home. Total costs
are already 3985 euro’s. We left, but my family turned around after 50 meters and
returned to the hospital! I was afraid that they were going to leave me there again,
but fortunately they just went inside because the nurse had forgotten to give
us the hood of shame and the easy-pill (some kind of tasty paste that you can
wrap around pills so they look like cat-candy).
When I got
home I was so relieved! I know this place! I know every nook and cranny and
every perfect hiding place that was just perfect for my recovery. So when I was
released from the cat carrier I took a gigantic leap to escape, but my mummy caught
me in mid-air before I jumped of the bed and put me in the bench. That was a bit
of a setback, but at least it’s good to be home and my mummy put my favourite
blanket in the bench to comfort me. She also put her laptop on the floor so I
could look at videos for cats on her laptop, while she went through her old
electronics pile to look for her old university laptop. It’s a little known
secret, but I’m addicted to Paul Dinning’s TV for Cats videos on Youtube! I
love looking at the birds, but my absolute favourite are the squirrels. 😊
