Why does it feel like Saturday to me????
Yesterday, after her surgery (spaying), Freya slept UNfitfully most of the day/night. We DID have a few moments of growling (even snapping at me ) regarding the "cone". I took it off to give her a break, let her eat a bit and drink some water (per the instructions from the nurse/tech). I think I kept a pretty good watch over her.
We slept on the sofa so she wasn't up/down the steps or jumping on and off the bed (it's pretty high). At some point, she fell into a fitful sleep. I didn't.
Today (Wednesday) she is doing way better. She took her pain med with no problems - big shock to me. Then, proceeded to sleep away most of the day. Thank goodness ... I needed a nap! She is on/off the sofa by herself where yesterday I had to lift her. Per the after care instructions, this is fine.
I thought I would just DIE yesterday from all the whining and crying (oh yeah, Freya whined and cried too - lol)..... I just wanted to take the hurt away from her. And she kept looking at me like ... mom??? i think I DID die inside a bit.
It's been a few hours without the cone now .... I've watched her like a hawk and if she makes a move towards her belly .... a good EH! .... show her the cone .... and she finds something more interesting to stick her nose in.
She's due for her next pain pill in about an hour. I think I'll wait and see if she can manage a bit without it for a bit longer. I put her in the window ..... closed ..... for a bit. She's been such a trooper.
Hopefully, we'll be back in the bed soon .... so I can get some sleep!
