Sally's Dental Saga


Sally had dental surgery on November 4. It's been a month of ups and downs, recovery and near death experiences.

Hard to say if things will go well with Sally. Here are some good signs: She leapt onto the table where I 'm laying out the Manuscript  for my book. I don't remember her showing that much curiosity in years. 



When she lands, she lands softly. When she was very  ill, she landed with heart breaking thuds. She eats a lot, but only when it's placed in front of her. Has she lost the connection between hunger and appetite? 


Her breathing is heavy at night, but normal during the day.(see drawing of her nebulizer) . There is a feeding tube in her neck.  She is shaved in various places and quite skinny/ People  say: " What a pretty cat!" I say: "What a will to live!
