After I arrived at the vets office, I spent 30 minutes arguing with the vet in the back room. All the assistants and everyone else scattered. I almost felt sorry for him. Almost. It didn't change my bill in the slightest and I didn't get an itemized bill until after I had paid. And he thought he was doing me a favor by charging boarding for the last 3 days instead of "Hospitalization" when they haven't done anything for my cat over the last 8 days.
This morning I took Oreo to the surgical clinic. They managed to work me in. I wasn't even kept waiting for very long. I got a call from the surgeon this afternoon to say that everything had gone fine and that I might even be able to bring Oreo home tomorrow night.
I know a lot of people will think I'm crazy for dropping the kind of money that I'm going to have to before this is all said and done. And maybe they are right, but I couldn't do it when I had a choice.
On a completely separate note, but furniture staining has been successful. I'm going to have to try it out when I get home this evening. I should be able to start using the furniture normally. It wasn't a perfect job, but I'm pretty satisfied with myself.
