Update on the patient
Mar. 16th, 2010 12:29 pmKing is out of surgery, and was waking up when Vet phoned me. I bring him home this afternoon, along with antibiotics and pain meds. I'll take him in Friday for a progress check.
Vet said that all the mass came out, which is a good thing. All of King's bloodwork was normal, which was also good. Biopsy results in a few days. Fingers crossed, though as I said, Vet feels she got it all, and there were no other such masses on King's body. There are a number of benign things that it could be. I won't think about the other stuff unless it becomes an issue.
I'm hoping King leaves the bandages alone, but I'll be surprised if he does. There may be an interesting new collar in his future.
Went home at lunch to let Gaby out. She hadn't touched her breakfast, and was looking for King in different parts of the house. She's missing a little of her pop. Doesn't know where her buddy is.

King is home. When I picked him up, I thought he was over the anesthetic completely--he seemed alert and pulled me out of the office like always.
Nope. He's out of it. Whimpery, like Gaby was. Somewhat disoriented. He did eat. Drank some water. I need to limit him to leash-walking for the next week and a half, which will be fun. I will also need to tie a plastic bag to his foot because the ground is still wet enough to muddy the edge of the bandage.
Gaby is outside, lying on the deck. She was very happy to see King, but he wasn't all that responsive and she was eager to go outside. So, outside she is. I need to limit their interaction for a few days anyway, so it works out.
It hit 52F today--I saw people in shorts and t-shirts, riding bikes. Motorcycles. Kids playing in the parks. Daffodils are poking out of the ground, but I haven't seen any crocuses yet. Could hit 70F on Thursday. But temps are going to drop like a rock--40s and rain or even some wet snow. I am predicting this will happen right about the time the backyard is no longer wet and squishy.
I'm having a beer. I need to go downstairs and empty the dryer, but King is sleeping now and I don't want him to get up and follow me.
I love him. I love Gaby. I wouldn't trade them. But after Gaby's accident and now this...I'd like to give a pair of robotic cats a try for a week or two.

Mar. 16th, 2010 11:52 pmRigged a plastic bag with a gauze tie and tied it over King's bandage so I could take him outside. To my surprise, he accepted it. Walked around. Did his business. No sign of a limp and even that he favors the leg. Very different from Gaby, who limped even after the bandage was removed.
He's sleeping again. Tired, I can take. The whimpering and disorientation bothered me.
Writing. I have the NIT tournament playing in the background because I need the noise and I don't care about college basketball so I'm not compelled to watch. I will say, though, that I am old enough to remember when the NIT was the equal of the NCAA, if not the more favored tournament. Now it's also-rans and half-empty stands--ESPN2 is taking some care with the camera angles to avoid showing all the empty seats. I don't know when the NCAA took precedence, but the difference is startling.
