Update on Agatha

[nlbarber]

Agatha is home, but will be restricted to my study in an attempt to keep her less active (and thus to let the incision heal faster). She had somehow removed 2 staples, which have been replaced, and it looks like the lower part of the incision won't heal very cleanly thanks to this episode and the delay in healing. The staple removal has been moved back a week, after I return from Denver instead of before I go.

On the even better news front, the biopsy results said the lump was "necrotic cellulitis", not any form of cancer.

Forgot to mention that I saw a third vet when I took her in on Saturday, and I spoke to that same vet getting an update this morning. This turns out to be the vet that I really liked who was in the practice when I moved back to Atlanta. She now works as a fill in for them, I gather: 2 Saturdays a month, and a couple of weekdays or parts thereof. I had wondered why she seemed familiar...

Congratulations to Agatha and *hugs* to you for worrying!

Here's hoping further healing is unimpeded. At least your family is right handy, so you can call for updates when you're out of town.

Rah for the biopsy results.
