Big Day

Today is the big day. We are driving to Charlotte for Kolo's cataract surgery...

Cheryl, the vivacious and kind technician, has dilated Kolo's eyes & she is going to do an electroretinogram (ERG) to check the condition of Kolo's retinas.

It took about an hour to get the results. Steven worked on my iPad as we waited. We also chatted with the other pet owners in the waiting room. Often people commented that Kolo is beautiful and asked for her breed.

We really do not know. She is a rescue mix, we think.

Kolo's ERG test was successful and she was moved to surgery, to be done under general anesthesia. We left, had breakfast, then checked into the pet-friendly La Quinta hotel. Dr. Pate's nurse said someone would call us when surgery was over and Kolo was ready to be picked up.

Steven said he wished he could be the first person Kolo would see when she woke up from the surgery.
