Reiki and stress reduction before spindle cell carcinoma surgery ……

Edie and her cone

Edie’s Surgery
(Spindle Cell Carcinoma)
Several months ago I did a behavioral and Reiki stress reduction, relaxation session for Edie. She was scheduled for surgery to remove a spindle cell carcinoma from her front right leg. It was to be a long surgery because massive tissue would have to be removed to prevent a proliferation to Edie’s lungs. Her surgery was a success. Lucky Edie healed quickly.

Edie’s post surgery x-rays showed no residual or new spindle cells. And she wore a cone so she couldn’t disturb her incision. Her latest check up was a-okay, and Edie’s Emily and Alan gave a vigorous high-five.  

Edie’s Treatment Plan

  • When I gave Edie her session, I emphasized how pain management would be a huge source for her comfort.
  • She would need to be crated while she recovered to control her activity. A cat-friendly heating pad to soothe her body, lavender oil to enhance her sense of scent, and the musical CD of her session would ease all her senses.
  • I would treat Edie with distant Reiki, which would include doing mental symbols before and on the day of her surgery.
  • Emily and Adam should do some fun things to nurture themselves. Edie would mirror and embrace their pleasure.
  • They should frequently tell Edie how well she’s healing, and how  her chic cone becomes her. And how extraordinary she is!
  • They should give me a progress report within a week, or before if there were any questions.

So Edie is now all healed. Emily and Alan are so relieved. But Emily has one regret. During Edie’s recovery, she slept with them and curled up in their midst, but usually slept on Emily. Never before did Edie tuck in with them at bedtime and stay the night. And now that she’s recovered, she’s once again their interlude bed companion. Edie’s her independent self.
“Emily, you were Edie’s security cushion,” I said. 
Also, they noticed she was a bit disoriented when her cone was removed. 
“Sounds like it was a postpartum reaction,” I said. 

I also told them that Edie would really benefit with the introduction of the very right kitten or cat-mate. They would too. 
Edie would slowly lose her fear of intimacy, and her trust instinct would increase. I could help them find her new companion, and they could use my introduction (Refer to my earlier Blog). Edie’s recovery is another example of all’s well that ends well. Don’t you think!
