  1. Here we go! Its the big day! I wanted to get up early and have my last hour of clear liquids as surgery is still nine hours away. I have a large bottle of water next to me and I am chugging it down. For the rest, a full buffet of treats and pasteries, meats and eggs, fruits and yogurt. Hot coffee, tea, cocoa, juice and milk! Come join us, I am gonna sit in the corner so as not to be tempted by the food! Happy Wednesday!

  3. Me too! I wanted to stay up so I could wish you luck and give you a ginormous hug in person. {{{Amy}}} You sound wonderful, MC, as always, you are the strongest person I know, with the best attitude! We will all be cheering you on today!

  4. I'm so sorry to see you have a headache from the NS shift. Hopefully, today will see them off FOR GOOD! The only headaches you will have to worry about in the future are the ordinary kind that everybody gets -- I want that so much for you :) (Not that I want you to have ordinary headaches -- ack, I betcha know what I mean, lol.)

  5. Thanks everyone! I am open to hugs and all the good vibes I can get. Remember to send the kits thru the wormhole to be in surgery at 1pm. We have 100 pairs of kitty scrubs ready to go. Wonder which one is sitting on the surgeon's head and shoulders to be "supervisor"?

  6. Well, it had better not be my podge, Jasper, his weight would have the surgeon bowed over pretty fast...

  7. {{{{{{{MC}}}}}}} I'll have cake and ice cream waiting for you on Facebook when you recover, and I suppose I can wait until you recover to post a roller rink event.

  8. Aww thanks Vicki that is so kind! My girls would love that, they miss their kitty friends. Jasper, its ok, you can sit on the surgeon's lap and hand him instruments!

  10. ((AMY))
    Been thinking about you all night. Sending you big hugs and prayers. Fred is going to stay with the girls and will be holding Wilma's paw all day. Cricket will keep Betty busy as well. We are there with you my friend.

  12. Awww, MC, he would love that, he would purr up a storm for you and the surgeon... He is a very loving boy. Now, if we can only find scrubs to fit...

    By the way, I've reported that annoying spammer...

    Libs is such a stickybeak, I am sure she would like to watch but I think I will make her stay in the surgical gallery or she might get over-excited and try to help the surgeon...

  13. George wants to come and supervise, MC; he's good at that :) He supervised our bathroom remodel and it came out awesome, so I'm sure he'll make sure your surgery goes flawlessly. His mamma sends you enormous hugs and clouds of white light.

  14. Best of luck today, MC. The virtual group of TDK'ers will be by your side every step of the way guiding you to a complete healing. Hugs.

    Good morning everyone, have a great day!

  16. *waves to everyone*
    AV, that is great news about MIL. yay.
    Kilroy, I think George would be the perfect supervisor and he's cute too!

  17. MC.I dreamt last night that you and FF were going to have a baby and it was a girl. You were going to name her Priscilla.
    So see, you have something to look forward to when you recover :D

  18. Amy, my cat Even will help supervise, as well; he's the official chaperone here, and feels he must insert himself directly into the middle of whatever human activity is going on. Right now he's sitting next to me on his perch above the printer, watching me at the keyboard. (Until I made the perch, he'd sit between the keyboard and the screen!) He also makes sure nobody ever goes to the bathroom alone.

    And my cat George's fascination with running water will help ensure all the surgical staff wash their hands thoroughly in prep.

    And here's a charming LOLcat for the start of your day:

  20. Lol at CM, Priscilla used to be my favourite name when I was about, oh, seven...

    Hi, Kilroy, Lynn, AV, Siobhan, Shelley and Vicki and everyone. Sorry to say hi and bye but I'm getting very sleepy. Everyone please have a great day and MC, we love you, and all our love goes with you! Kia kaha and arohanui and big, BIG {{{HUGS}}}

    Oops, hi Ann and SOM, you snuck in!

  21. Ohmigosh, Ann, that LOLcat is SO SWEET!

  22. Hello! How appropriate is that cheezburger pic! Smudge will sit in the gallery with Libs, Jcat. She won't want to get in the way. Chance, on the other hand, will be anxiously looking for something to do. This morning Chance must not have liked the way I did my hair: he got on back of the chair and started grooming my hair. I told him thanks, but I liked my hair the way I had it.

  23. MC, remember that we will all be with you every step of the way if only in our thoughts and prayers. And prayers for the doctors to be guided in a successful surgery.

  24. awww Chance..I can see him with a little bow dryer, curling iron and some scissors...Welcome to Chance's Salon

  25. ... heading off everyone!... have a great day!.....

    Posted 2 years ago by AV #

  26. Ann, I was just thinking of that LOL this morning; I think it's perfect for today :) Dr. TinyCat will certainly make sure that everything goes smoothly.

    Posted 2 years ago by Kilroy #

  27. Hugs and prayers heading your way from Michigan! I have sent notice to Rainbow Bridge for RT to come by the surgery room. She was compelled to supervise EVERYTHING - litter box cleaning, bed linen changes, furniture re-arranging, Christmas decorating - all was done under her watchful eye. She would even cover up the litter after the boys if they didn't do it to her satisfaction! That cat ruled the house with an iron fist. She will keep those doctors in line.

  28. Morning everyone, especially MC!!! Have to be out and about this morning so will check in when I can. May the surgery staff feel the strength and prayers being sent by the TDK family, and that their skillful hands and talents be used to the very best of their abilities.

    Hope that the day goes well, have to find drugs for myself and this infernal headache....ciao for now...

  29. Ahh, surgery headed up by Dr. TinyCat - things will go better than well; you will have the added bonus of hearing purring throughout the surgery! (if I remember correctly, you are awake for this)
    Hi all! I'm going to snuggle with that little black kitten over there and have a spot of hot apple cider.

  30. Deb, I'm sorry your head is hurting. Headaches just suck, don't they? (says someone who currently wants to pound her head against a wall, but realizes that probably wouldn't help).
