Yes. The doctor said it would only take a day or two after the tube-feeding for her to get her appetite back and by that time, her tummy will be healed and no more pain. She's wearing a pain patch right now.
To see her, you can just tell it's not time. She even started to display a little of the infamous "tortietude" when we tried to put her back for the night. 
Like the doc said, she will eventually die from this, but who knows when. For now, I'm going to visit her more often and show her how much Auntie Slick loves her.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
