Bun evening, Everybun!
Charlie's follow-up went pretty well. She maintained and even gained a little weight. She got a good bum brushing and one of Dr. Zellner's special, magical belleh massages. There was a little bit of bladder expression and even work on the bladder stone itself. The doctors said parts of it were getting mushed and disintegrated to the touch.We did not do new X-rays or blood work. At the moment, none of that would provide any new information that we could act on. The treatment plant stays in place - daily fluids and observation. We were on the lookout for signs of blood in the urine following the "stone work," and all the pee was coming up clear.
Funny, how we learn and re-learn what passes for good news as time goes by.
Charlie is still mad about yesterday, though. Come to think of it, she got worked over pretty well. So she's still on the mad side of things, and does not fancy the biped in her sight. Unless there's mint involved. Or cranberries - the fresh kind.
We arted last night and today. My hoomin sent the guideline work to our painter for printing, and this piece is starting to feel real.
And what is next? We don't know. We wait and see. We'll send the update on Charlie to Dr. Zellner tonight, and we'll take it from there. We're learning how to breathe all over again.
Good night and good luck!
- Gus
