Taken Life One Day at a Time

I'm home

So I'm home and I'm finally asleep. My tummy is shaved and it's really uncomfortable. Mom has pain medication and says I'm very tough. When I got home I went out for a bathroom break, when I wanted in I ran at the stairs and tried to jump. I landed on my tummy and almost gave mom's mom a heart attack.

To clear a few things up, I went to the vet for house spoiling problems. They decided one of my lumps is cancerous so they were doing surgery. The cancer would not spread through my body. It was when I was getting prepared for my surgery on my lump that they discovered my swollen tummy and decided to do the x-ray.

When I came in we weren't there for surgery, or serious surgery. The vets said I was lucky they caught it before I died, mom says I'm just a miracle.

Update

So the surgery is finnished and it turns out the tumor had bled before. Scary! The vet said the surgery went well and I'm making a great recovery. Still not going home till tomorrow.

Vet visit

I went to the vet today to get a lump on my leg checked out and because my mom and dad were worried about my going problems. They determined that my leg bump was cancerous and so were going to remove it when they noticed my stomach was swollen. When they took the x-ray they discovered a blood tumor in my spleen. If that ruptures I would bleed to death. I'm not going to have a spleen and not going home for awhile.
