Crisis at Wounded Knee, DAY FIVE

Kitties!


Nurse Grayce here, with Breaking News!

Mommy fractured her kneecap!  

In two pieces.  


She's part of the lucky one percent of broken bone sufferers that have a busted patella.  Furthermore, and even rarer, it's a vertical break.  Which means it's not quite as serious and she still can move her lower leg up and down--although she's keeping her knee straight, for now.  She's off work on workman's comp until (at the very least) she sees an orthopedic surgeon on Thursday.  So much for working eighteen days in a row...

We have all been making total pests of ourselves nursing Mommy non-stop.  She says it hardly hurts at all; however when she went to the human fix-it shop on Monday the repair lady there made her squeal like a little girl when she bent her knee past where it wanted to go.  Three times.  Which I feel makes up for the lack of Ye Olde Rectal Thermometer treatment. 

The worst part of the whole situation is that our breakfasts are late again!
Mommy is LAME.

No really, she is.


Happy Wednesday!

  8. Oh noes! Whatever will you do??? Who will hunt you down and talk crazy-lady talk to you? Who will FEED you? Who will set up taste-treat tests for you? Who will photograph your boxing matches???? It's an....an....OUTRAGE, that's what it is! She should have been more careful! Didn't she think of how this would impact the Kitties' quality of life??? Whait--what? Really, Human?? Do I haaaaaaave to? Oh all right then.

    I'm-so-sorry-your-mommy-got-damaged-and-feels-all-hurty-and can't-really-serve-you-like-she-should.

    There. That'll have to be good enough.

  9. Poor mommy! She'll think twice about going off to work for 18 days in a row. We know you are taking very good care of her, but you have to expect things to be a little slow for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  10. OMC!!!! Good thing there are so many of you...considering that round the clock nursing duties is very difficult work...and requires lots of treats to keep up your strength.

    We are big believers in the power of the purr and we know the loving vibrations can help bones to heal. Your mom is in great paws with you.

    We can teleport over for purring duty if you get tired.

    xoxo Cory and family

  11. Lame, like a horse??? Oh noes! We hope she is up and prancing around in no time flat. (and most impawtantly tending to your needs!) ((Hugs))

    ReplyDelete
  12. Pee Ess - my Mommy is very impressed that your Mommy has lovely clean-shaven legs, even though she is lame!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Your Mommy has a naughty kneecap ? Just like me, Aila and my gf Maggie May had. Now we had to be operated on, have trendy bandages (which were horrible) and had to be nursed day and night while we got better. And there was no running or jumping for ages. Now we bravely coped, but your Mommy is crazypants so this will be a very difficult job. You guys have your work cut out for you. If you all take turns sitting on her that might stop the running and jumping, but what will you do about the thumbs she has ? They are needed for your services.

    Oh, and Äiti says 'get well soon'.

  14. Huge purrs headed in Lounge Mommy's direction! We just know y'all will take most excellent care of her.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I often say humans are lame, but I did not realize yours would take my words literally! I hope her knee heals up soon!

    ReplyDelete
  16. BTW, my human echoes Prancer Pie's sentiment about the clean-shaven legs.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sending a lots of sympathy purrs and thoughts to your Mommy. Ours has heard that people can do without their patellae so don't surprised if the solution is just to take it away completely.

    And, yes, the clean shaven legs are a thumbs up.

    We hope you are all mended soon.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh no! So sorry you hurted your knee. At least you will have plenty of furry heating pads to comfort you.

    And may I say, in addition to being beautifully shaven as mentioned above, that is one nice shapely leg you've got there, Missy! Hope both of them are soon back in working order.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Our mommy says she feels your mommy's pain.... literally! She had a root canal done, and the pain is killing her! :(

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh geez--this is the first I've read of your busted mommy. It's awfully nice of you guys to take such good care of her!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Pee Ess: we hope your Mommy is doing all the medical through W.C. according to her work referrals.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh noes! Ouch, ouch, ouch! We're sending our best healing purrs to your mom, hoping her presumably impending surgery and recovery will be swifter than the average. Paws crossed!

    P.S. Our human says she'd better shave her legs tonight. ;-p

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh dear..at least she has many nurses standing by, or sleeping somewhere. Hope you heal up quickly. Sending good thoughts your way, hugs, Deb

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ow! Ow! Owie! I thought that was what I did to my own knee but thankfully it was just a big old goose egg.
    And not a single ounce of sympathy did I get fromt he Gs. They STILL expected me to get up and feed them and scoop. No respect, I tell ya.

    Feel better! srsly.

  49. Ok, I feel terribly bad for you...but you still just keep cracking me up!!! Paws crossed for a good outcome with the ortho doc.

    Katie says you're EXTREMELY lucky to have snuck out without any thermometer encounter from *behind.*

    Waffles says he LOVES the thermometer. Seriously, all this jumping...I think he must have landed on his head a few times because something is not right with him.
