Stitches and Staples

Update on Dad: His staples came out Monday and he continues to recover nicely, yet slowly. He gets tired very easily and probably does too much most of the time. The doctor confirmed once more that there is no sign of cancer anywhere now! YAY God! Keep praying for him - he really appreciates your prayers!!!
Update on Braeya: She came home at lunchtime today - in a very good mood. She was happy to be back in her own world, and Kaegan was only mildly amused to see her return. Braeya's whole belly is shaved and she has a pretty big incision - I think I've seen smaller C-section scars on A Baby Story. She has bright pink stitches and wants to show them off. Makes me crazy and gives me the shivers. I take her back the day after Thanksgiving to have the stitches removed. Anyone want to guess how long it will take to convince her to get back in that carrier?? Not to mention how long I'll need to recover if I have to sit with her when they do it. I barely lived through the booster shots.

Oops! Guess I hit enter too soon! Anyway, as I was saying... The nice thing about kitties is that their hair will grow back to cover any scars they end up with. That way the vets don't have to worry about the size of the incision. Just keep an eye out for a lot of redness. I'd rather have a male cat neutered any day than deal with the female and stitches. The males just get glued back together!

LOL - yes, it was MUCH easier with Kaegan. And do you know what makes it even worse? I just found a FLEA on her! I told her that better be the only one she brought home from the vet!! We don't do fleas here in Bekahland. I may be writing you if I get scared about the way she looks...since you're the expert. ;)
