    Oyster, I hope Queen Jill comes home today. How fortunate that you picked up on the signs and symptoms as early as you did! Please give her a gentle pet or two from me. Her face is so sweet.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    She's home!


    The doc said that she did really, really well. He did have to remove the gland closer to the vena cava, but he said that he was able to get it out really cleanly and easy, and he believes he got it all. The next 48 hours will be the most critical, and I'm glad I have the weekend off to wait on the Queen's every need.

    It feels really good to have her home, but I know she still has a way to go.

    As soon as she got home she was already alert and giving me kisses. She has also been eating and drinking, which is a good sign. You can tell that she is sore, but I can totally understand after looking at the incision.

    I just wanted to thank you all again for keeping my girl in your thoughts. It means a lot!


    WARNING: The picture of her belly isn't for the faint of heart. I showed it to mum and she couldn't look at it long at all.

    Ouch! It looks like it's still open at the bottom - was it sewn closed, or maybe, was it glued? (I think I can see suture knots at the top) (sorry, I'm a nurse)

    But I am so glad the Queen is home and I bet you are glad to have her back with you! Please give her a gentle kiss from me.

    Putting them through surgery is rough and totally drains you mentally.

    I'm so glad to hear she's back home and doing well. She'll be in my thougts as that big ouchie on her belly heals.
    And how lucky you are that your sister works there?!

    Hugs and smooches for your sweet Jill!

    Thanks, you all! It feels great to have her home. She must be tired of me checking in on her every couple of hours. She gives me a look as if saying "Seriously, mum? I'm fine! Go get a life!"

    I think the blood at the bottom is from her scraping her stitches while getting into her litterbox. I have since switched her litter to a shallow pan, and she hasn't bled any since. And yes, she was sutured back together. She is still very bruised, but it looks much better today.

    It certainly does! I bet you and I have been through a lot of the same emotions these past few days. I had been thinking of you and Roxey. I'm glad that her surgery went well, too!

    And yes, I am so glad my sister works there. It helped put my mind at ease knowing that she was so close to Jillian in case something happened.
