I love the fact we receive information faster than ever before.
We are able to keep track of friends and family and learn more about them than before. We receive news updates almost as they happen. We also can find out information on any topic and from 5 to 5000 sources all on our phones.
I wonder if it is too much information for our own good.
My cat has bladder stones and is having surgery today. I am able to look up the procedure, treatment, what can go wrong, people’s experiences, what I did wrong, what Piper did wrong, what her genes did wrong and all the possible outcomes that could happen.
I do this with my own health and now with Piper’s and all it does it FREAK ME OUT!
Maybe there is a time when you have to let go of knowing everything and just believe in the professionals to do their jobs. Believe that everything will work out. And believe that your love will be enough to help her through the recover.
I know my life would be less stressed. Will I stop? I do not know. I do not like not knowing but the knowing is killing me!

I hope your kitty is alright! I know how very important she is to you!
I expect a full report when she is done. For the mean time, try not to worry about it since it is out of your control and that is unecessary stress!

I’ve been contemplating the same thing…when do we reach the threshold of information overload? I have friends who ask me everyday, “did you see this, did you read that?” and I have to say no. And when they respond with, “where have you been? under a rock!?” I have to say, “I’m focused on living my life…” because that’s the difference to me. We can either stay “plugged-in” 24/7 or we can choose when it’s time to power-down and invest our FULL attention to what’s happening NOW in front of us, in our present lives. So Michael, I encourage you to stay steady, trust in the experience and knowledge of the vets, and in the mean time breath and enjoy every moment you have with Piper, stones and all
