Prayers for a successful surgery and easy recovery for Eddie!

I'm going back and forth on the overnight. Just talked to the 24/7 facility -- which is my regular vet -- and asked what kind of environment he'd be kept in. He won't be isolated, he'd be in a cage not far from all their other activity. So if there's a lot going on that particular night, he likely won't get much rest.

I may wait and see what time he comes out of surgery and how long the surgeon's facility will be watching him. If he's out of surgery by noon and someone will be at the facility until 10 or 11, I'd be more inclined to leave him there. But if he's the last surgery of the day and doesn't come out of anesthesia until 7 or 8, I'd be less inclined to leave him there overnight.

I just know I'll be a mess waiting for them to open at 6:30 a.m. if I leave him there.
