We've been placing him on the chair with us, so he can stretch out between someone's legs and be in the room with us. At the moment, he's back in bed, thinking about whether or not he'll bother to eat or drink what I've got on a tray there for him.
It the doctor can't do the surgery on Wednesday, or it's too outrageously priced, we're not going to leave him in this state. He's quiet but alert, and if he's in pain he's not letting us know. But his immobility, breathlessness, and not even eating his treats is killing us.
I'm going to lay on the bed with Spotacus for a while. Later, y'all.
