She wears the Cone of Shame

[flexagon]

Nala is home again! She has an Elizabethan collar (Cone of Shame), and is bumbling around the bedroom bumping it on stuff. Well, right now she's purring on sleeping heisenbug; she's alternating between angsty bumbling and very aggressive snuggling. To my unspeakable relief, her surgery went well on Monday, and pre-surgical scans did not show any masses or growths in her body besides the one we had removed (still being analyzed). So we get some time together, still. <3

It's a surreal evening here; we had a power outage more than an hour ago, and I've been working in the dark thanks to laptop battery, phone battery + tethering. The batteries and my own energy level are running out, though. Time to set the phone alarm clock, turn off the light switch in here and succumb gracefully.

Yay for Nala! I was worried about her when you discussed her age and anesthesia. I'm happy you get more time with her! Give her lots of butt scratches and cuddles.

Me, too, on the age and anesthesia. But it seems like the surgeons did a great job of giving her fluids before the surgery, monitoring her blood pressure during, and generally keeping her alive. Also, she is still strong.

The vet's notes say "Nala presented as bright, alert, and mentally appropriate". Hah! I love that "mentally appropriate".

Cuddles and scritches are happening. :)
