About Fred

My sweet little baby Fred is having surgery today to repair a corneal sequestrum. In a nutshell, he developed a corneal ulcer right before I returned from Turkey and Greece and it’s not healing and he needs surgery to remove the dead tissue and have a graft placed to rebuild the eye. He should have full vision in the eye once he is healed and will have a teeny scar across part of the eyeball.

It’s scary, of course, and he and George had never been separated in their entire lives until I took Fred to the ophthalmologist last week – and that was only for about 2 hours. I basically gaslit George by sneaking Fred out of the house for the appointment and them coming back and leaving Fred in the car while I went in to get George. I’m hoping I tricked him into thinking that Fred was only in the car for a few minutes before I grabbed him and took them both to the campground. Today they will be separated for several hours.

In other words, it’s stressful for all of us.

If you could send good thoughts into the universe for my cats and for Dale and I and for the surgeon and his team I sure would appreciate it.
