I'm starving!

Well, the day has arrived.  Here I am, sittin' in my hospital bed, waitin' for my doctor to come and operate on my knee.  She's in the building, I understand.  She's supposed to be somewhere around here.  Probably operating on some other kitty right now. 

My surgery isn't scheduled for another hour, I think.  Any moment now, a nurse is gonna come in and shave my knee.  Hopefully she won't be shavin' any other parts of me but just in case, I gave myself a really good bath, this morning.  I washed from the tip of my tail to the tips of my ears and everything in between.

Luckily for me, they allowed the peep to leave me my laptop.  They weren't gonna but ol' peepers explained that I needed it in order to keep in touch with my pals.  I explained it to them, too.  "I need my pals!" is what I said and I said it just like that.  Next thing I knew, I was bein' given the password so that I could log on with their wireless.  SWEET!

While I'm in the system, I might just see if I can create an electronic record of my doctor recommending my bein' served the Fancy Feast and those yummy Whiskas pouches, more often.  After I post my blog, I'm gonna see if I can figure out how to do that.  Bet I can.  Just gotta think about it for a bit.  And if I don't get it done this morning, I'll work on that after my operation.  I'll have plenty of time 'cause I don't think I'm gonna be goin' home until tomorrow, or something like that.

And speakin' of the Fancy Feast and the pouches...  I'm starving!  Yeah, I'm starvin' to death over here.  Literally!!!  I missed breakfast.  Gonna miss lunch, too.  Anybody headin' over to the burger place down the street or the chicken one at the corner?  I sure could do with a little somethin' for my tummy.  The peeps gave me my supper yesterday and then a snack later on but at nine o'clock all the food dishes were removed from the kitchen.  There was only water left.  A strappin' mancat such as myself can't survive on water alone.  Even prisoners get bread!  Not that I'd want bread but my point is that they get something.  Anything.  Actually, at this point, I'd even take the bread.  Did I mention that I was starving?

Hey, wait a minute....  I'm on-line right now.  Hehehe...  All I've gotta do is order something.  Hmmm... there's a pizza joint next door.  Wonder if I can find them on the Internet...

Anywho...  if you haven't heard by now, I had a little accident last Friday night.  Came in with a sore leg.  First thing Saturday morning, as soon as the clinic opened, peep #1 called and made me an appointment.  Dr. Teresa took some funny lookin' pictures of me.  They say that a picture says a thousand words.  Well, the two pictures she took of me said that I had torn all the ligaments in my right knee.  I think that means that there's nothin' holdin' my leg together.  That can't be good, you know.  MOUSES! 

My doctor is gonna put some artificial ligaments in my knee to replace the ones I broke.  Hope they're of a better quality than the ones I had 'cause, as you might have heard, I tore those ones to bits.  Or was it shreds?  Either way, they're pretty much useless now so I need some new ones.

I heard the peeps say that I've got the best surgeon in the hospital.  Hope they're right about that.  I think they are.  My peeps wouldn't let a doctor who wasn't good operate on me.  I'm positive 'bout that.  They love me way too much to let anyone but the best near me!

And speakin' of bein' loved...  I've got some of the best pals in the whole wide world and they love me, too.  Just look at all the gorgeous cards I've received.  The top one was made by Maggy, Zoe and Ann.  You might know them as the Zoolatry Girls.  They posted this beautiful card of me on the Tabby Cat Club blog so that everyone would send me purrs and prayers today.

My BFF, Herman from It's a Wonderpurr Life, sent me the card showin' me workin' away on my laptop, publishing my blog and whatnot.  Yup, Herman knows you can't keep a bloggin' investigative reporter such as myself down.  Sore knees or not, I'm gonna get my blog to the presses!  The electronic presses, that is.

Last night, I recieved this stunning card from the lovely, and pretty stunning herself, Savannah or Savannah's Paw Tracks.  I just love how she shows me in her card how much she loves me.  Looks like she loves me lots!  Makes even a mancat like myself go a little pink in the ears.  Yes, it's true...  real mancats do blush.

My pal Cody from CAT CHAT sent me an e-card but I couldn't figure out how to post it here on my blog.  Apparently, tech support at the hospital is just as shoddy as what I've got at home.  Someone should write a book called "Blogging for Cats" or somethin' like that.  Hey, I'm a writer!  Maybe I should write that book.  I would, of course, have to bring in a technical expert.  Somebody who knows the techy side of the blogosphere.  Hmmm...

But all is not lost.  If you head on over to Facebook, I've pinned the card from Cody to the top of my fan page, Nerissa's Life.  It's a really neat card.  Musical and everything.

Oh-oh...  here they come.  I see a nurse out in the hallway.

You know...  on second thought...  maybe I'll just skip this surgery thing.  Maybe I don't need it after all.  Maybe I've changed my mind.  I think I might just break out of this here popsicle stand.  I could teleport out, I think.  Peepers!  Prepare the teleportation device!  Peepers!  PEEPERS!!  PEEPERS!!!   Anytime 'bout now would be good.  Beam me up and out of here.  Oh...  MOUSES!

  32. It's the peep, here.

    I just spoke with Nissy's doctor. He's doing well. The artificial ligaments are in place. He has received one treatment of laser therapy and will receive another, tomorrow. He won't come home until Friday, I'm afraid.

    Nissy is on pretty heavy-duty pain meds but he does have his laptop in the hospital with him. He likely won't be on-line today but perhaps, a little, tomorrow. Will have to wait to see how he's feeling.

    Thank you EVERYONE for all the purrs and prayers you have been sending Nissy's way. I know he appreciates each and every one of them and that they're all helping him to get better. My little blogmeister will be back to his old self before you know it.

    Sincerely,
    Peep #1

    Sorry he wasn't able to keep his laptop [he does need to rest & not be up all night tweeting - *wink wink*]
    give him a big hug tomorrow during visiting hours [it was my highlight of my day when I saw Shorty when he was hospitalized in 2010]
    Give him a double dose of nip when he gets home.

  65. Hey all! It's me... Nissy! I've hacked into the hospital's wireless connection. Can't stay on for long 'cause there are nurses millin' about outside my room. Don't want them to know I'm tryin' to order a pizza from the restaurant next door.

    The peeps sent Fancy Feast and Whiskas pouches with me but I haven't eaten any of them. Then today - if you can believe it - someone tried to FORCE FEED me something I didn't particularly like. Should have had some of the grilled chicken FF, I think. I'm hoping the place next door has Fancy Feast Grilled Chicken pizza. Do you think they could?

    Okay... gotta run. Hear people outside my door. Don't wanna get caught...

    Oh, hello! Nope. I wasn't doin' anything. Not anything at all...

    Blog to you later, my friends!

    Purrs,
    Nissy

    ReplyDelete
  66. Force feed you? What an OUTRAGE! You will eat when you are ready! A boy might like to be in his own home, eating from his own dish, eating at his own pace, after all. Sheesh!
    Don't these Stabby Place people know NUFFING???

    I'm sorry Nissy--I couldn't stop my Human from telling your Human to kiss you for her. Ewwwwwww.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh, Nissy,

    What a pest, to have to have an operation. I had one last week and I think it really sucks. I hope you're feeling better now.

    Love from Trixie (and Caspurr - I keep fur-getting my little brofur).

    ReplyDelete
  68. I've been following along on twitter... glad you're recovering!! xo

    ReplyDelete
  69. Nissy, glad you were up to posting a quick comment. That's not NICE of them to try to force feed you. Maybe your pain meds make you feel a little queasy. But try to eat a little, since we hear not eating is bad for the liver.

    Purrrrsssssss. Me and Audrey

    ReplyDelete
  70. Nissy, My Good Man, SO very delightful to hear from you! I am thrilled you are home and getting all the attention you so richly deserve! I am sorry you must wear a Cone of Shame, but you know, the Peeps probably put out a boatload of the green paypurs (are they green in Canada, too?) to fix you up, and it would really be a Bad Thing if you chewed up your stitches or sumfing. So I guess you gotta bear with it. Since you will get the good fudz now, and all the kissies, it'll probably not seem so bad. I hope you can sleep snug and warm and comfertabuls (well, as comfertabuls as you can get right now) in your very own home with your very own Peeps tonight. XOXOXOXO from Me & the Human
