Sam and the Surgeon
The surgeon suggests taking a biopsy and he feels Sam's asthma is not a
problem for a procedure as short as this one. He would have done it today except that Sam had eaten this morning. So we scheduled it for tomorrow. Then I got home and had second thoughts. I cried and then cried some more. What if Sam dies? I called DH and I called our regular vet. Our regular vet agrees that Sam will be able to take the anesthesia. DH came home and he wants to go ahead and get the biopsy. After calling everyone today I went to bed and Sam and Hobbes laid down beside me (one on each side) and we rested together and I feel better now. Sam's been on Clavomax since Monday night, I've given him Albuterol tonight just before his Flovent and I'll give him more tomorrow morning before his Flovent. The vet will give him Albuterol before he begins the procedure. Tonight I'll take up the food and water and tomorrow I'll take a deep breath and take Sam to the vet and worry until I hear something. On the positive side, I should be able to bring Sam home tomorrow night and I'll have the weekend to take care of him. Any purrs that could be directed Sam's way tomorrow would be appreciated and I'll let you know as soon as I hear how he's doing. Julie and Sam |

Julie and Sam We will be purring for Sam and for your poor frazzled nerves. I have severe asthma and have had many minor surgeries as well as a few major ones. I just tell myself that I'll be fine because they know up front I have the problem so they are extra careful, especially with the anesthetic. Sam should be fine. Jo |

Many many purrs for the biopsy, and calming purrs for you while you are waiting to hear something. I know just how worrying that is. Wish I could be there and hold your hand while waiting. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
