Surgery and recovery ~ma, Erin! As for Malachi, fluid-filled cysts are not, to my knowledge, either uncommon or dangerous on cats. The vet can probably drain it and it'll be fine. IANAV
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Surgery, cat, and interview ~ma.

Thanks for the ~ma!
I think my part of the interview went well. On the other hand, they called me two hours after the scheduled interview time. And, reading between the lines, I suspect there's a fustercluck of epic proportions surrounding the job opening. Still, it's a fustercluck they seem inclined to pay someone to deal with. We'll see if they call me back.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
On a scale of "he's totally fine, go to bed then get up super early for surgery yourself" to "stay up all night at the emergency pet hospital", where does this rank?
I'm sure it's all taken care of but call the vet where he regularly gets care and ask. I wouldn't personally emergency it while normal everything else is really normal. But I'd have it looked at sooner rather than later since I can't think why it'd appear. Stuff like that often requires hands on critter. Disclaimer: IANAD or vet tech but I fake working in a clinic on a regular basis.
Also I hope your surgery went well.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Surgery went very well, faster than predicted (3 hrs instead of 7, woot!), no complications or adverse reactions except for the itching. Oh, the itching. I know well enoug to never put Oxycodone, hydroxodone, or tramadol in my mouth...but whatever the injected into the spinal block is itcherrific to the max. Even with two full doses of Iv Benadryl I'm awake from then constant need to scratch. Did have to take my gallbladder too which is a little sad but apparently the adenoma was clnging to the gallbladder and could not be separated. In the hospital for another day probably. Thanks for all the ~ma, it really works! I'll be calling the vet tomorrow and a friend can take him in since I don't want saddle mom with a miserable vet experience. And I took the friends cat to the vet just a few weeks ago when she was out of town so it's favor repaid :)

Just FYI, I've had my gallbladder out since last year, and have noticed no affect on my digestive system at all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm hacking my way through a thicket of onerous phone calls. Go me! (Of course, some of them I need to actually follow up on, like going to the hospital lab to get blood drawn for my cholesterol test.) But still. Onerous phone calls, off the list!
I also need to figure out what I need to take to the Social Security office so that I can go get my name legally changed before our first anniversary (not that that's a legal deadline, or anything; I just thought it would be nice to change my name by the time we've been married a year, which is Sunday [whoops]).
t edit Also booking the pinup photo shoot, which is making me nervous as hell. Sheesh.
