She's looking a bit perkier

[cjsmith]

Thank you so, so much for all your supportive comments. It helps.

Several people are asking for updates. There's not a lot of change, but here's what I can tell ya. :-)

- After yesterday's swabbing with damp cloths and frequent combing, she almost looks good again. Still technically needs a bath if you have a working nose. When she feels better she may take care of this. Or I will.

- I have *not* seen blood since yesterday.

- She's perkier. She loves scritches, she brushes herself against my ankles any time she can, and she's eating and drinking reasonable amounts. She's ignoring the catnip. She is not whining a lot about being stuck in the bathroom, but when she hears me approach she'll holler.

- I gave her her first pill-and-a-half dose of antibiotics just now. Half pills have sharp corners so I tried crumbling up the whole mess and putting it in wet food. She took it!

- She mostly hits the litterbox now. She always at least gets to it, and she mostly stays in bounds. After antibiotics work their magic for another day I may be able to let her out of the bathroom.

We expect word from the pathology lab late next week.

Thanks! Hey, how are you doing? Exhausted probably doesn't begin to cover it.

exhausted, hurting, but pleased at how the day went. lovely weather, beautiful ceremony, great reception, lots of people came and in general was about the best it could have possibly been. i'll post pics and write a longer entry later, when i'm not so um, uh, hmm, post-wedding.

I saw your short post a few minutes ago. I'm glad it went so well! I hope you don't pay (too much, or too long) for your day of wild activity.
