I'm a nervous wreck

Tituba (my kitty) is at the vet preparing to get her dental surgery today. She had a cranky night cause I couldn't feed her after 8 last night, and then I had to drag her out in the car and put her in an uncomfortable metal cage at the vet's. Then, while I was filling out the paperwork, she let out this heartbroken meowl. I feel terrible; I know the dental scaling is good for her, and it should help the tummy aches and stuff. But I still feel like a big, bawling, nervous baby. I know that the "risks" associated with anesthesia are low, but I still am freaked out by the fact that there are any risks at all. I know now why I put it off last year when the vet recommended she get this procedure. Cause I'm scared something will happen to her. I actually am more worried right now about her than I was about myself back a few years ago when I had to have anesthesia. ::sigh::

Yes. That would be bad. Now, I'm going to be a big doofus all day till she's okay. So if you have any good kitty karma to spare, think happy thoughts about my little black kitten and say a "blessing" to Bast for her.

UPDATE: I just heard from the vet and Tituba is "in recovery" waking up and apparently fine. Her teeth are all clean and she didn't have to have a tooth removed after all. BUT there still is the question of the upset tummies, and why. So we have to keep an eye for a little longer, since she has just recently gotten a new kind of food; that could be it. It could be some liver issues (cause she keeps hittin' the sauce-- I tell her, "no more than ten Margaritas, Tituba," but does she listen?) So, I'm feeling a little better. Still anxious about what's wrong. I know it's totally lame to talk about your pet too much in a blog, but I promise to post something cool and non-kitty related tomorrow. :)
