Last night I was up late because Me'ir thought he saw someone trying to mess with my car. So, we kept checking around to make sure everything was okay.
At one point, we went out onto the mirpeset (balcony), and Me'ir her a faint mewing. I couldn't hear it, but he insisted that we investigate, and I am so glad that he did. It turned out that, somehow, Katom had fallen from the mirpeset 3 stories down to the roof of the entrance of the building and was lying there still alive! But, if we hadn't check, it's likely that he might have died there before I even realized that he was missing.
We got the firefighters to come with a ladder and retrieve him, and then we immediately took him to the vet, who got up in the middle of the night to take care of him (this was about 1:30-2:00 a.m.).
The vet could tell immediately that Katom had a head injury because his pupils were unequal. He also did x-rays and found that Katom's sternum was broken, but, apparently, nothing else was wrong. He gave him meds to calm him and help with the pain, and he started an IV.
By this morning, Katom's pupils were equal again, and, according to the vet, he seemed better. It now looks very likely that he'll recover, which is really amazing. He's still at the vet's, though.
This morning I enjoyed the WIZO meeting. We had fun doing a spelling quiz, and I got 49 out of 51. I forgot to double the "m" in "accommodate", and I reversed the "l" and "e" in "nickel".
I treated myself and Me'ir to massages at Dream Spa, and then we ate lunch at Landwer Café. Afterwards, I did the weekly grocery shopping at Shufersal and taught 4 units of Berlitz lessons: 4:00-5:30 and 7:00-8:30.
Me'ir finally signed the contract and got everything arranged for his new apartment this evening, and, hopefully, he'll be moving in tomorrow.
