Well, I came home overnight, to see if my cats were still alive and such, and getting ready to head back to Phoenix. Nothing much to report, thankfully- he is sleeping 98% of the time, has lost ~5 lbs since surgery, could stand to lose it! He doesn’t seem to really be in much pain, so I’m glad for that. Incision looks good- it’s in a zigzag pattern from ear to ear- supposedly for hair-growing purposes they don’t cut it straight across. Thanks for the support, it means a lot to me, and him. ---

Sorry not to have posted sooner, Alice. My heart ached reading the thread. So hard to face that looming unknown with one you hold precious. And the sun seems to be rising! I pray for your joy to come. I will quote what the housekeeper in the stairwell of Children’s Hospital told me, when she found me weeping. “After you been sad a while, you go ahead and get back happy!” Tris ---

Still thinking of you and the lil goon, Alice. I’m offering prayers that he progresses well in his recovery and that no more surgeries will be needed! ---
