lydy | Arwen home, in hiding

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.
