get a big pill organizer thats slotted out by hours-blocks, because there's gonna be a hella pill schedule Emotions are gonna run really really high. She'll be sleeping a lot. But make sure she doesn't walk around too much. I got stir crazy and they had to basically make me go back to bed I had a lot of pain and I kind of abused my oxycodone. Oxy is for EXTREME pain, not daily pain. Taking too much of it gave me serotonin shock because I'm on Zoloft, and that made dilating really difficult and painful There can be and probably will be complications. It's critical YOU stay calm because she probably wont I had a dehiscence where the implanted skin inside the vaginal canal didn't attach and fell out. THIS IS NORMAL AND COMMON but it's terrifying If that happens, it's okay to cut it out carefully.

He's eating. His kidney function is back to normal. He still has some fluid in his chest, though, even though they've taken him off. They're going to use either a diuretic or a needle to drain the rest. He is still catheterized, but he's in the cat ward now instead of ICU. They flushed a lot of clots and grit out of his bladder, and they're working on clearing as much as possible of what remains through the catheter. He's making a normal amount of urine. BUT BEST HE'S EATING! He's alert! He's interactive! He's BRIGHT and OPINIONATED. His pain meds are going down too, and he seems so much better. They're probably gonna keep him overnight again but I think we'll be able to pick him up tomorrow. and he PURRS so loud during medical exams its hard to hear his heart
