Arwen home, in hiding

[lydy]

So, my smile generator came home today. The doctor said that the lump did not have any major blood vessels supplying it, so that's good. Malignant tumors tend to co-op a blood supply. On the other hand, we won't know anything for sure until the cytology is back. I forgot to ask when that will be. If it's like the last time, it'll be back the middle to late next week. As long as she was under, and it was just one tooth, he went ahead and extracted the tooth that has a cavity and is clearly sensitive to the touch.

She seemed kind of out of it. She did not immediately get in her carrier when it was opened up. This is the second time she has done this, and I'm not sure what's going on. Usually, cats understand that the carrier at the vet is the ticket home. Maybe she's totally taken against the carrier, though.

Most of her left side is shaved. The incision is somewhat meandering, and almost two inches long. The vet said that in cases like this, it's always best to go wide, so as to remove as much as possible in case it turns out to be malignant. She hasn't been fretting at her incision at the vet's, so they sent her home without a collar. Hopefully, we can continue to avoid the collar.

She at a little dry food, then went and hid under the bed. I'm not sure where she is now. David and I went out to lunch. Pamela said that she trotted around for a while acting like her usual self. I'm pretty sure she's angry with me. She gave me some pretty dirty looks.

But, she is home. She looks good (if slightly goofy, what with the asymmetrical hair do).

I missed her. I'm glad she's home, even if she is avoiding me.

This sounds like a pretty good result for now. Glad she's home. Hope the results continue good when you have more of them.

I told you this, but for the record: she came out and lay on the kitchen floor in her usual seal posture, paws curled on her chest, the shaven side down. I thought this must be nice and cool for her.

They are very good at that dirty looks thing, aren't they?

I'm glad she is doing well, and hope for the best news later.

She turned up for clandestine wet food this afternoon, came quite nimbly up the stairs, hissed at Ninja when he tried to eat her food, and finished her morsel and licked the place. She also tried to get into the laundry room and cussed me out when I wouldn't let her.

This sounds lovely and utterly Arwen-esque. Alas, she is still mad at me. It doesn't help that every time I see her, I shove a pill down her throat. But there you go. It's also warm, and she's less cuddly in warm weather, so that is probably part of it. It doesn't explain why she leaves the room when I walk into it, though. Silly, lovely cat.
