MyChart now contains "automatically released" results from both MRI scans, which look as though nothing significant has changed. Also, they have added the name of ny neurologist to the list of providers, so I can use the MyChart system to send her a message if I want.

I overheard [personal profile] adrian_turtle talking on the phone to her mother, and as I listened to her talk about our cat Molly something clicked. Yes the cat now has trouble seeing a treat two inches from her paw, but she's still leaping onto my desk from the floor or a chair without a problem. So, I suspect the cat isn't going blind, she's just becoming far-sighted, which would be much less of a problem. I don't think there are eye tests for cats --it's not as though you could get a cat to wear glasses or contact lenses--so that will remain somewhere between a guess and a working hypothesis.
Our cat Molly is recovering quite well; I've been putting a chair next to my desk so she can jump up easily, after seeing her leap from the floor once. (She succeeded, but leaping could be bad for healing, given that the incision was in her abdomen.) We have finished with the liquid medications (an opioid pain-killer and an anti-inflammatory) and are just giving her antibiotic pills, much easier on the humans and the cat.

I only got to spend a couple of hours at [personal profile] adrian_turtle's place last week, because dosing the cat is a two-human job, so I couldn't be out overnight. Instead, Adrian came over here for dinner Thursday night, and kindly offered to make chicken and turmeric soup because I was finding the prospect of making the curry I had planned rather daunting.

Being less stressed, and needing to spend less time and energy on cat care, I am caught up on my own exercises. I didn't walk very far today, because my hips started to hurt soon after I stepped out the front door. My recovery is going a lot more slowly than Molly's.

I am likely to be busier than usual with freelance work this coming week. The latest chapter of the book I'm editing is more than twice as long as the one before it. Despite that, I asked my newish client for another chapter to proofread, and my contact thee sent a longer one than any I've done for them before.

I got an excellent yellow watermelon at the farmers' market in Copley Square on Tuesday (along with lots of berries, a cucumber, and some smoked fish pate). This afternoon, [personal profile] cattitude went to Shaw's (Star Market) for groceries, and bought another watermelon, which I should cut into soon, before the next farmers' market trip.
