I never figured that they would steal my heart they way they do, either. Now here I am 11 years later.
I may have told you this already, but Sly's surgeries started when he was 5, and continued on a regular basis until 3 months before his 7th birthday when we lost him. Some surgeries were harder on him than others, and I had a bad feeling that his last one WOULD be his last. He was very elderly at that point, and he just did not recover fully.
This is Smokey's first. Surgery IS a risk, as it is for ever living creature. It's the anesthesia that is a big risk. The odds are in yours' and Smokeys' favour. I know that does little to alleviate the tension. At this point you just have to have faith.
