There's a good chance you hallucinated this week without ever knowing it

The surgery was a success! My g-niece is the proud owner of a titanium plate in her head!

Mom and dad should be able to go in to see her soon, and then mom says she’ll take a nap in the family area, since home is 45 minutes away.

I can only imagine the relief the families feel!!

And as a side note, they went in through the eyebrow, but how she got a titanium plate is beyond me to figure out. I’ll ask Clever Kara privately, when she’s had time to absorb all of this.

"And as a side note, they went in through the eyebrow, but how she got a titanium plate is beyond me to figure out."

I think I could describe the procedure, but I am quite sure you would not be pleased to even hear the description. The squick factor is quite impressive.

[Monkey Face]

I don’t mind reading about that stuff, but I don’t think I could watch it! So if you feel like it, go ahead...

[NicknamedBob]

There’s a good chance that any titanium plate will be there to replace a section of excised skull bone. And the best way to ensure that an incision is invisible is to do it through the hair of the scalp, (particularly for girls).

What this may have to do with the eyebrow is a matter of conjecture, but I would say in reassurance that this will not be this surgeon’s first rodeo.

The recovery procedure may include black eyes. Don’t let that throw you off. It should all clear up.

[Monkey Face]

I’ll tell my niece! Thanks, though. I suspect she will have asked the surgeons all about it.

[Tax-chick]

Pleased to hear it. (Ew.)

[Tax-chick]

I received a letter today, although I think it was delivered yesterday. Sometimes everyone thinks everyone else went to the mail box.

[Darksheare]

I caught her before she could panic and flail.
She purred loudly over it too.

[Monkey Face]

I hope it was the one with the bookmarks in it! :o])

[Monkey Face]

No wonder she purred in gratefulness. You saved her little fluffy self!

[Tax-chick]

It was. Nice bookmarks!

O RLY?

Good morning!

Lovely mew!

In light of the scary medical news of late, I think we need a visit from Dr. Tinycat!

[Tax-chick]

[Tax-chick]

My cats suggest going to bed for the duration.

[mewzilla]

With the cats!

[Tax-chick]

Of course. Speaking of cats, I just spotted a spew. At least it’s on the tile for a change instead of the carpet.

Our guy is a barfer. The plastic bag ban here in NYS is a PITA. They’re very handy for bagging barf cleanup.

[Tax-chick]

Also cleaning the box. My mother uses the plastic slip that her Wall Street Journal comes in, but I like a bigger bag.
