Surgery

Our wonderful cat Bo has been missing since last Friday, part of the reason why I haven't posted. I've been out searching for him for hours on end each day, with no luck. Yesterday, Jonas heard him on the other side of the fence in our backyard. He was in the neighbor's (behind us) backyard, and he couldn't hop the fence because of his limp. Jonas hopped the 8 foot fence and passed him over to me.

I immediately brought him to the vet because he wasn't putting any weight on his left hind leg. They took some x-rays (Bo was being such a trooper the whole time, didn't complain once) and discovered that his leg was fractured at the tip of is Tibia (right on the knee, equivalent to us breaking our shin bone) in a way that he will need surgery to put pins in there to keep it stable. He may also need some ligament repair, but we won't know that until they go in for surgery.

This surgery is costing us $2000, something we can not afford right now. I will be having a garage sale, having all proceeds go towards his surgery, and a bake sale as well. We need all the help we can get!

Bo is going in for surgery some time today. Please send up a prayer that it all goes well.

Rule #220. Spend less time worrying who's right, and more time deciding what's right.
