She's staggering a bit due to the pain meds, so I'm keeping a close watch on her. But she bolted out of the carrier like she was shot out of a cannon! She's been walking all over the house as though she's taking inventory and a head count, making sure everything and everyone is still here. She wanted me to pet her the entire drive home, so I put my fingers through the carrier and gave her ear scritchies. If I stopped for even a second, she cried. Dr. Lee said "She's a sick kitty but you'd never know it." When I first arrived at the clinic, I said "Hi Pud, you mad at me?" and she hissed and everyone in the clinic burst into laughter! Right now she's wagging her tail like a puppy. I can tell she feels good and her energy is remarkable. She actually scampered through the house! She goes back in 10 days to have her sutures removed and to check her levels again but Dr. Lee said that he doesn't foresee any problems. She does have to go back on subQ fluids every other day for a while til we see how she does because, after all, she's operating w/only one kidney now. He said that if she does well, she may not need the subQ treatments any more. Wouldn't that be great!
Well, it's another cold rainy evening but it's a warm and fuzzy one for me, that's for sure. I've got my bunkmate and she's feeling better and all the fur posse are happy to see her. Life is good again.
Thanx again for all your prayers and support.
Blessings,
Mary
