 |  |  |  | I suppose if you've read Sandy's diary, you know this, but if you haven't: Tuesday night, My Mommy, Sandy's Mistress saw that Sandy was bleeding from her forehead. At first, after freaking out, Mistress tried to stop the blood and see if Sandy just cut herself, but it was bleeding much more than a cut. She got it to stop temporarily, then the next morning, took Sandy to the vet (read Sandy's diary for details).
The vet told Mommy that Sandy has nasal cancer, and that it didn't seem to show up on the x-rays they took back in June.
Sandy is also fading away, she has lost at least 3 lbs in the past year, even though she does eat, but not as much as she used to.
The vet said that Sandy could live up to 6 months, and that she wouldn't be in any pain, but that Mommy would have to put Sandy to sleep...soon. She said that Sandy could live from two weeks to 6 months, but since Mommy can't drive, she doesn't want Sandy to leave for the Bridge while at home. Her Mom says that she should take Sandy in for that very last vet appointment before Christmas, and Mistress thinks that might be a good idea so that Mommy doesn't spend the time worrying about Sandy.
It's also very hard for Mommy, though, since her and Sandy are so very close, to just set a date, which she has to do so that she doesn't have to worry about vet's time, transportation and not being alone. Her friend Jen said that she could make an appointment for this Monday, but Mommy wants to be with her Mom, and her Mom won't be in town that day, plus, as long as Sandy's not in pain, she would like to spend some more time with her, but she doesn't want to do it so close to Christmas.
*sigh* She's having a hard time, and I know that Sandy knows she has to leave soon, and doesn't mind, all she's worried about is Mommy.
It wasn't easy when I left either, but Mommy had Sandy to make her feel a little bit better. Now Mommy will come home to a kitty-less apartment. I think her Mom might have her stay at her house for a little while. |  |  |  |  |
