Post-Op

Well, George took Strider to the vet today, she finally decided to drain it. She also sutured a piece of plastic to the back of his ear to try and prevent the cartilage from crumpling, you can kind of see the white of the plastic in the picture. He also gets a pretty blue collar so he won't scratch it.

**note to self, shield face when cat shakes head....active drainage.... ick..

Ouchie kitty ear

Okay, so the ear is still getting worse, it grew just this morning, I've added a picture, brace yourself before looking!

Yes, that is the inside of his ear all puffed out

Old

Happy birthday to ME!!!!! I'm older today, brownie points to those who can guess how old. I had a lovely day, starting with George making breakfast of french toast, yummy! Then I lazed around for a while and watched a movie with Georgie. Afternoon I went to the hair salon and had my highlights redone, I think it looks nice, but nobody else can really tell, oh well! Then I used a gift card I rcvd over Christmas to get a massage, ahhhh so nice and relaxing. Afterwards I treated myself to a manicure :-) Quite the day of pampering, too bad it's only once a year.
We had a small family dinner here at the house, lentil soup and french bread, one of my favorites since I was little kid. My sister and brother in law, grandma and uncle came over for dinner. It was nice to have them here, we don't get together often enough. It's been a really fun day!

Big hands

I like this picture :-) I don't usually think of my hands as being small, but this is Georgie's hand with my ring!

Kitty update

I took Strider to the vet on tuesday and now he has three medications! The fluid continues to build in the ear, the whole thing is puffed out like a pillow now, all the way to the tip. We have to wait a few more days to see if the new meds are working...not a happy kitty :-(
