I thought I should write a little update so that everyone can know how I'm doing. Surgery was long, almost five hours, but everything went well and after one night in the hospital I was discharged. I am very lucky that my mum and sister live close by and have been an amazing help to me during my recuperation, as well as Robert of course who is my rock. I've said to a few people it will be quite a while before I am myself again but each day is better than the last and I can see light at the end of the tunnel :-)

I would like to thank most sincerely all those who left encouraging comments on my blog, send cards, emails, facebook messages, posted about my circumstances or just thought about me in a positive way. I cannot begin to express how this lifted me during low moments and how deeply touched I was by these expressions of friendship, each and every gesture of kindness has been very precious to me!
love to all,
cat xx

Awww, what a sweet photo of the boys next to you. We are glad you are recovering on schedule. Hugs and purrs to you.
I was so happy when I saw a comment from you on FB, and reading this has made my day! Cat, you have been in my thoughts every single day, several times a day. Remember, you only get a chance to heal right once so take it easy, treat yourself right, and know that your only job is to recover. Fully!
xx Trish
So good to hear from you. You have been in my thoughts. Take it easy and relax with the healing power of the purrs.

I am amazed how quickly you were able to leave hospital - a lot of this I'm sure is due to your state of mind and determination. You have Robert and the boys to take care of you and we are sure they will be excellent nurses.
Take care Cat.
Luv Hannah, Lucy and Mum Sue xx xx xx
We know your kitties take good care of you (and humans too). Sending lots of love to you for a fast healing.
Cat, it's wonderful to see an update from you.
Continued purrs and healing Light from us all.
Big hugs!
WE LOVE YOU CAT!!! Glad you are starting to feel better and the boys are taking such good care of you!
You have been in my thoughts and prayers. It staggers me the way people are released from hospital so quickly after such major surgery, but perhaps for the better, though hard on you and family who are helping you either way. Glad to see the boys are helping to give you some love and cuddles and keep you warm.
The Mom, with purrs from Simba and Audrey as well.
Oh Cat, I am SO happy that everyting went well and you are recovering!!!!
I'm sure your wonderful Hubby, your beautiful family and your sweet boys will be the best therapy now! :)
Lots of hugs and purrs!!!!!!!!

So happy you are doing better, and based on the photo, in great company! Thanks for keeping us posted.
I am glad to read that your recovery is progressing. I've been checking your blog but of course didn't expect to find anything right away. I read the note Fuzzy Tales wrote about your progress a week or so ago.
I am surprised that you were discharged from the hospital after only one night following such a long operation, but I guess that's the way it's done these days.
I wish you good luck in your recovery and am glad that you have a wonderful spouse, family and, of course, pets, to speed you on your way to full health.
With these great kitty nurses everything will be fine. Our purrs are constantly coming too.

With those high quality nurses, you'll be back on your feet in no time. Best of luck to you.
You made OUR day with this post - and when we saw your comment on our blog yesterday. *HAPPY dance!*
Wishing you a speedy recovery and robust health!
We wish you recovery soon,
and they are so sweet just next to you for comfort!! They help a lot.
We are so glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery. We are purring for you to feel all better soon. Our grandma and our aunty (mom's best friend) went through this same ordeal and came out with flying colors! Mom said to tell you that you are in her prayers. *Whiskers kisses* from all 15 of us!
We're so happy to hear you are doing well and recovering day by day. You are in our thoughts, Cat.
