Today I waited home all day to hear from the vet. I was expecting a call from my cousin (who owns the vet clinic) and well let's the phone call never came. My cousin starts every day at 10 am. She starts off by doing her rounds in the clinic. I figured after she did her rounds, she'd give me a call. I had called first thing in the morning today to cancel Jazz's 11:30 am appointment with my cousin, since he was already there, the receptionist who answered told me that my cousin would call me when she was done rounds. Hence why I was waiting at home for the phone call. Noon came around. Then it was 1pm. And 2 pm. Finally I gave up waiting. Around 2:15 pm I called the vet hospital. I was told that the doctor from last night just walked in and they'd get her to come to the phone. I was put on hold for a few minutes.
Finally the doctor from last night, my cousin's co-worker came on the phone. She told me that she's sorry, but Jazz had just passed away 15 minutes ago about and that my cousin tried to do CPR but couldn't bring the cat back. She told me that is was cardiac, and that he was comfortable when he passed away. He had been eating a little this morning, and was in better spirits. She told me that he had a heart murmur, that it was confirmed and that not all heart murmurs are treatable. It's possible that he's had the heart murmur for a long time, but he'd shown no sign of any distress until this past weekend, so there was no way to know. And even if we'd have caught it in time, it may not have been treatable.
I can't believe that I had to call to find out that my cat had passed away. Why didn't my cousin call me when she couldn't bring him back after doing CPR? Why couldn't one of the technicians call me if she had to run to another sick animal? I am annoyed that I had to call to find out, and not them calling me. I'll get over it, but it's still NOT cool.
I called Jamie as soon as I got off the phone with the vet. I really didn't want to have to call him to tell him this information over the phone, but I knew that Jamie wouldn't be too happy if I had waited until he got home from work, because he told me to call him as soon as I heard something from the vet. Jamie's handling it as best as he can be. Jazz has been with him all of Jamie's adult life, as Jamie got Jazz when he moved out when he was 17 and has had him since. Jamie's 33 and a half now. That's almost 16 and a half years.
I knew last night when we rushed him to the hospital that he wouldn't be coming home. I just had this feeling in my stomach. It's too bad. Really too bad. Though, he was old and I didn't want to see him suffer at all.

This evening I had the Montreal Knitting Guild Meeting. It's our last official meeting of the year. The next meeting is our summer Garden Party and it will be held on a weekend at one of the guild member's house. Should be fun, I'm planning on attending.
Tonight we had elections for the Montreal Knitting Guild. No one wanted to run except the past executives, so we just decided to keep the same executive for another year. I'll stay on as Newsletter Editor as well, but that had been decided about a month ago. I enjoy doing them once a month - they're a ton of fun and I get to use my graphic design degree for something! (I'm working on a new layout for the newsletter, though, having an issue with file sizes and for the PDF that it has to be in the end. It needs to be uploadable to the guild website.

Oh no! Obviously I left my earlier comment before seeing this post (my feed reader never picks up your blog posts until a week after they're written for some reason?? I'm always a week late with you, weird)...I am so sorry for the loss of Jazz.
So sorry about Jazz. He looks a lot like my Shinerbock and like Jaime, I've had him all of my adult life, so know how you guys must feel right now. Hugs to you.
I'm sorry about Jazz. I know its horrible to loose a pet. Don't be mad at your cousin, Jazz had only passed away minutes before, maybe she was trying to decide how to break it to you?
