03-27-14 – Day 1: Misty Comes Home
Misty is home. She’s doing great. As I expected she just really wants to do all her normal things. She ate, hobbled around a bit, walked through the litterbox, and then we did a little petting and purring and treats, and then she went to bed. I think she will probably be there for awhile. She doesn’t seem to be in pain, the meds are doing their job.
They put a goofy little tshirt on her so she won’t have to wear one of those collars. She seems to be ok with that. I brought he collar home just in case we end up needing it. I remember when I had stitches, they got pretty itchy a few days before my 14 (or maybe 10?) days were up.
I would like to document her recovery. My vets were so worried about her age and/or her heart that I imagine there are other cats like her that people are on the fence about doing similar surgery, and maybe more information will help other people decide.
