Thanks for the words of encouragement and my apologies for a delay in reporting!

Cindy has: Luxating patella (or trick knee, subluxation of patella, or floating patella), is a condition in which the patella, or kneecap, dislocates or moves out of its normal location. The surgery was to repair it. She looks like she has had an ACL repair, all shorn on her rear leg, with little stitches. Mom has been keeping a tight watch on her, has dismantled her bedroom in which Cindy is confined, and sleeping on the wooden floor! Cindy cannot jump up- even onto a mattress. Poor mom, poor Cindy!

It maybe the pain medication, but, Cindy seems like a different cat completely. Very affectionate, despite her current condition. She was a bit snippish pre-surgery. But, it could just be the meds! Anyhow, it doesn't seem as if she will need her other knee done as the doctor was able to manipulate it back into place, and with this other knee being 'good', it might be avoide.

Here's hoping! And, here's hoping for a great recovery.
