Prayers for my Yodie, please; She has MRSA; *Update* 1/5; good/bad news; #269

[Medusa]

She is SO sleeping in the basement w/the rest of the Fur Posse tonight! She nearly drove me nuts last night! Up and down, in and out, knocking things over, pet me/don't touch me, meow, meow, meow. I should've taken her downstairs and been done w/it but I really want to keep an eye on that incision. Plus if she sleeps downstairs, she needs to wear her collar and she hates that thing and who can blame her? I thought about getting a soft collar that sasvermont posted but knowing Miss Fussbudget I doubt it will make a difference. Thankfully, I slept well the night before so I'm not doing too badly this morning but the boy is flying in tomorrow so I've got to get the house clean and ready, make the mandatory spaghetti sauce, do last minute grocery shopping for Thanksgiving, etc. I'll be exhausted by tonight. So, I guess you can say that Yodie the Yowler is feeling pretty good. She's in top form as a matter of fact.

I'll try later for pix. Every time she sees the camera, she bolts. She must think it's some new med. LOL

[Felicia's Mom]

So sorry to hear about Yodie. I will keep her in my prayers.

Hopefully it's close to the time that Yodie can go without the collar!

She sure sounds feisty!

How long is The Boy in for? Does he have a buyer for that reality show I mentioned?

HUGS!

Oh she's definitely feeling better but I know that the stitches are already beginning to itch and I don't want to undo Dr. Lee's workmanship so the collar will have to stay on if she doesn't sleep w/me or if I'm not at home to keep an eye on her. Of course, she's snoozing now b/c she kept both of us up all night, the brat.

The boy will be home for a week, then he's back for Xmas and NY, so I'm a lucky mom this year. He'll be performing at First Night here. I told him what you said about the reality show. No comment from him. LOL

Mary, in Cat Health someone mentioned cutting the collar down so kitty could still eat, but couldn't reach the owies. Is that a thought?

Also - are you allowed to put any ointment on the itchy stitches? (I remember how they can itch and I couldn't put anything on them...a warm wrung out washcloth was soothing, though.)

That boy of yours - no imagination!

Dr. Lee said to keep it absolutely dry because of the MRSA. He doesn't want it to have anywhere to hide.

I hope Yodie continues to heal and you can have a wonderful Thanksgiving with "that boy"
