Britney Part 2

Britney is home! The surgery went well and we were able to pick her up this afternoon. We still don't have the results back from the lab yet, but she is up and eating and looks pretty good, considering. The hard part now is keeping Lily and Calli away and administering pain meds and antibiotics twice a day. I put Chip in charge of making sure her stump stays clean -- it is too gross for me and he is the one taking pre-med classes. He actually had to dissect a few cats this semester, so this should be easy for him. In other news they finally think they found what is wrong with my car and are replacing the parts today! So no more sharing a car with Chip! Yeah!! Got Britney and my car fixed, now I just have to get through the Halloween party we're having on Saturday and I can relax again. Can't wait for next week. :)

Lily was very excited to pick Britney up from the "doctor's house." Here she is helping by carrying in the special litter from the car. It was so sad yesterday, Lily would stand at the bottom of the stairs and look up and remark that Britney wasn't there. :( Britney is always there. She is also having a hard time understanding that Britney will not get a new tail. She just keeps telling me to go buy her one. I wish it was that easy. In some ways it is a good life lesson for her. Everything that has ever gotten broken has been fixed; we've either used tape or glue, or just snapped it back together, so she doesn't grasp the concept that some things can't be fixed.

Britney isn't too happy, but otherwise she seems to be pretty good.

My poor stumpy baby.
