Don and I used to come to Langebaan Yacht Club often for breakfast or lunch, but I haven't been for ages now. But today I decided no more excuses. Brave up and go and sit alone and eat breakfast at "our spot" (we had a particular table at one of the windows overlooking the wreck that we always chose). Holly is at the vet in Langebaan having teeth extracted so it is a very worrying day for me and I'm a bit of a wreck myself!
@narayani Thank Narayani. Yes, next time will be easier. And yes, Holly is doing okay. The vet asked if I wanted to pay extra for optional pre anaesthetic liver function and kidney function screening tests, to which I agreed (I changed vets and now travel to Langebaan after I felt that Tug died sooner than he should have because of neglect at the closer veterinary practice where I had taken him to have his teeth cleaned on their advice). So as Holly is such an old lady now I felt that as my new vet (the emergency one who worked so hard to try and save Tug) offers screening, there must be a reason. They picked up the beginning of kidney problems so I had to give them permission to put up an IV drip to keep her hydrated throughout the procedure, and for quick access to medicating her if anything started going wrong during the anaesthetic. She is obviously sore and sleepy tonight, but seems to have come through it okay.
@365anne Thanks so much Anne. Holly seems fine this evening thanks, although she is obviously sore (is trying to hide her little head in a dark place), and tired
it will be hard doing things alone that you enjoyed together before, but I am pleased for you that you braved this hurdle. Pleased, too, that Holly seems to have come through her procedure well.
