Gigi’s update

Gigi’s just started her 1st dose of chemotherapy for treating Lymphoma on 3rd June, Thur.

Poor Gigi.

She’s been appetite-less for these 2 days as she’s been getting the side-effects of chemo – vomiting and diarrhea.

And becos that day we left her in the Animal Recovery Centre as she continued her jabs/tests and only picked her up at 11.30pm, she now sticks to me like glue at home. Even right now, she only sleeps on my lap. She has always been very 粘, but had always been satisfied just being near – sleeping on our beds while we use the laptop. Not now.

I feel that Gigi seems to understand human language much better, or she seems more intuitive towards what we say to her now.

When I picked her up from her ward that night, the nurse took her out and placed her on a table so that she could teach me how to jab Gigi at home. Just placing Gigi there was enough to freak her out – she just “goes-tan” and her hind legs went off the ledge of the table – luckily I reached for her in time, else she’d have fallen off the table. So I spoke to her like she understood – I said, “Gigi, be good ok? You want to stay in hospital and let the nurse feed you medicine or you want to go home? If you want to go home, you be good girl ok? Wait for jiek-jiek to learn from the nurse. if not you’ll have to stay here.” Guess what? Gigi did as I say after that when I told her to “sit”. Amazing.
