We had planned to leave for Buffalo early today, but Saturday morning I was scratching Tibby under her chin when I felt a weird bump. It was large enough for us to be concerned, but even though we called the vet as soon as they opened, the first appointment we could get was today at noon. Tibby was not behaving unusually in the least, and so, with the luxury of teachers on summer break, we moved our trip back a day.
Today at the vet they felt the sizeable lump, but could not diagnose it. The doctor tried unsuccessfully to aspirate it with a couple of needle pokes and sent the tiny specimens she got out to the lab, and then she followed up with an ultrasound to see if there was any fluid that she might have missed. There was not, but Tibby was a champ throughout the ordeal. The lab results won't be back until Friday, and as long as our little kitty isn't uncomfortable, we are hoping for the best.
Then, when we entered our house this afternoon, it was clear that our a/c wasn't working. We called the service company we always use, and they were able to come out and fix the problem right away, but thank goodness we were here to deal with this little crisis.
"I feel like the universe is telling us not to go to Buffalo," Heidi said, only half kidding, and in light of all the drama of the day, we pushed our trip to Wednesday, hopeful that doing so was just a precaution.
