I am officially 1 week post-op, today!
My mom is here, helping me survive...since my husband is back at work, or as he so nicely puts it "on vacation." 😂
Apparently, it's not a fun time, taking care of your one legged wife. 🙄🤷
Anyway.
I woke up at noon today.
I had something exciting to do today.
Something to look forward to.
I had an appointment to see a man about a one-eyed cat 🐈.
No, it's not a euphemism.
Yesterday, while I'm killin' time, watching "Sneaky Pete", all while I'm leg is hoisted in the air....
Chris sends me a message on Facebook.
I open it, and it's a picture of the cutest little one-eyed Siamese cat, at the local animal shelter.
Chris and I like to send each other pictures of animals that are cute, but ultimately we will never get, because we already have:
1 dog
2 cats
1 guinea pig
But, there is something about is Siamese cat.
I didn't just think: "Oh, how cute." Then dismiss it.
I said, "I need dis!!"
I've had a few Siamese cats, growing up.
They are very vocal & have their own personalities. 😺
You see, it really SUCKS being cooped up in the house, with minimal human interaction.
Sure, I have a couple of people check in on me....but when I reach out to others, they seem to just ignore me. 🖕
It would be special to have a new kitty, cuddling with me, while I'm at home. 😍
I called the animal shelter, a volunteer called me back. Told me all about the cat.
I set up an appointment to see her today at 1pm.
My mom helped me down our 2 front steps at my house, loaded up my knee scooter in my Honda, and off we went.
BTW- it had been an entire week, since I've felt fresh air on my skin/in my lungs.
I loved it!
(The ride was a trip in itself.) 😂
I may have whiplash.
We arrive at the animal shelter, and the fella brings the cat to me. I wheel into the lobby and hold her.
She immediately loves on me, purring and walks all over me, so relaxed.
There is a "clinic cat" that is kinda like a mascot.
They interacted. It was positive. Yay!!
There is a "clinic dog", also a mascot.
They interacted. It was also positive!!
It's all turning out better than i could have imagined!
I spent time loving on her, and said...
Yes, I want this cat!
I filled out the paperwork, and will picking up our new furry family member this Friday, after she gets spayed.
Last night, Chris, the kids and I went over a few names for the kitty.
I decided on.....Suki. pronunciation (Sue-key)
Next, adventure... Walmart.
Mom went to get a motorized shopping cart, for easier mobility for me in the store.
Mom trying to pick out a garment bag, for the girls daddy-daughter ball dress.
#rocketscience 😂
Me, waiting for Mom. Also, me in pain.
Foot throbbing, shooting pain.
My foot propped up on the motorized cart... with a classy waterproof garbage bag, to keep it dry from the rain.
I love this video. It makes me laugh!!
We have a good time together. Always make each other laugh.
I love my mom (& dad). My whole family.
So....to wrap it up, i got out of the house today. That was nice.
However, my foot is paying the price.
Back to watching Sneaky Pete, and eating a salad. Nom-Nom.
