Surgery Is Over

I made it through surgery today.  I thought I was only going to have one mast cell tumor removed from my head, but it turned out to be three.  I woke up with three sets of stitches; one from my head, as I said before, then one off my right ear, and one off my left knee.  Still feeling a little funny from the anesthesia.  Just had some dinner and a little pill for pain, so feeling a bit more normal.

All three spots - pre-surgery.

The first spot on the top of my head.

Check out the left knee.

And, my right ear.

How bad is it??

Well, we won't know until the tumors are looked at by a pathologist.  A pathologist can look at the lump and tell what kind it is, how bad it is, and how much it has spread.  That should take a week or so.  I hate waiting.  Mom hates waiting.  It's going to be a long week.

Luckily, mom found the tumors when they were very small - like b-b's.  That helps.

We're still waiting to hear about my friend Shoshone's tumor that was removed last week.  We have our paws crossed for her.  Please, keep your paws crossed for the both of us.

Oops, the camera slipped.  Still a bit sleepy from the anesthesia.
