She had an abcess the size of a quarter, a greenish fibrous capsule that Dr Lee did not feel the need to biopsy. He had an appt. so I didn't get to talk to him but he said he would call me first thing tomorrow morning. He did call me on my cell but the call dropped. (Been trying for a week to get a new phone but one thing after another keeps happening.) She has sutures that need to be removed in two weeks. You'd never know she had surgery. They said she refused to sit down almost right after she woke up; she paced the entire time. She did it on the way home, too, and I could hear her growling and hissing before I went back to the room for her. Dr. Lee will tell me tomorrow what causes it; he said it could be from a "poke" so I'm assuming he means from an injection or it could be a hair growing in reverse. If it's from a poke, it could be from the allergy shot she got in June. Who knows. I'll know more tomorrow. I'm just glad it isn't malignant. My heart was in my mouth all day. Thanx for the prayers, friends. I appreciate it.
