Pip is home

Had to get a new routine established...had surgery last Tuesday (2 June) for pancreatic cancer. Was on the table 6 1/2 hours, all the doctors were very pleased the way I came though it. I will need some chemo, but the surgeon (who has done 100's of the operation) thinks he got everything and the pathology report looks to back that up. Was up and walking 2 days after, started eating solid food 6 days after, am now home. Will be recovering until mid-July at the earliest.

Please folks, if you feel something is off (you or the kitties) get thee to a vet (kitty or human).

Been home almost 4 days, so nice to see even though Anita and I had been gone quite a bit the last 2 months that Teia and the boys have an established social structure now.

They eat all their meals together.  The boys play between themselves, but do try and involve her from time to time.  No hisses or growls any more from Teia, just a kind of a throaty hoot.

It has added to my mood to be able to see the cats, and to sleep under my own roof again.

We're all thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.  I'm glad the doctors are pleased with how the surgery went and they got everything.  That's good news.

Take it easy, and let yourself completely heal.

Hugs to you,
ZQ
