Milo got his stitches out yesterday and was discharged from the PDSA, for now anyway, he can obviously go back if needed. They were very pleased with him, his wound has healed nicely and he was good as gold as they took out the stitches. They said he can do anything he wants now, so the barrier is down on the stairs and for the first time in weeks he can go up freely if he wants.

I did wonder about putting back the lid of the litter tray he's been using. Changed all the litter and decided to leave the lid off for a little while longer to aid him getting in. Only for him to hop into one of the big litter trays that did have a lid. So, guess that decision was made for me.

More good news. Some of you will remember my oldest nephew had to go to a residential school/home a couple of years ago. In a few weeks he's moving back up north and will be going to a new residential home for autistic boys that's only half an hour from my SIL. Which is fantastic for her, and my MiL who always said one of her goals in life was to see him come home.

My MiL came to spend the day with us on Tuesday, but to be honest she shouldn't have as she was clearly unwell. She thought she had a kidney infection and was uncomfortable all day but still insisted on coming out, leading to a lost day for us all really as she was either asleep or in pain. She was worse yesterday but at least she actually contacted the doctor. Not that they'd got back in touch with her last time we were talking.

Today is the funeral of one of James' school friends. Sadly, as he went to a school for the physically disabled it's not the first of his friends who have died early and won't be the last. While he wants to go he still hasn't decided if he's going to yet, I suspect it'll be a last-minute decision which is fine, today we've got nothing planned that can't wait.

good news on the Milo front! go, guy, go!! *g*

it's oool that your nephew will be closer to family; I'm sure everyone will enjoy a chance at visiting

It's nice to see Milo hopping about again. Admittedly he's not fast yet, and spends a lot of time sleeping. But, he's an old cat, that's what he did anyway *g*

It's going to be so easy to visit my nephew now. He was ready to pack and move the day he was told, so he's happy to be on the move too.

That's great news about Milo, really glad to hear he's recovered so well from what is a fairly traumatic operation!

Kidney infections are nasty, hope your MiL gets help soon.

At times I really did wonder if we were doing the right thing in terms of Milo's op, as you're right, it is traumatic. But, he's coping well and hopefully will continue to find new ways of doing things.

My MiL is still waiting for the doctor to get in touch. They promised it would happen today and she has had a urine dip sent away so they're not completely ignoring her. Still, I do think the doctor should have phoned as she really wasn't well.

So good to see Milo is doing well.

Good news about your nephew, too! So much nicer to have him within reach.

Milo is doing amazingly well for what happened. He does spend a lot of time sleeping curled in his bed, but he always did. Understandably at his age I guess. But can move around quite well when he wants to.

My nephew moving means my SiL will be able to see him when she wants. Which to be fair she could have done before, but there's a big difference of a journey of 20 mins and hours.

It's wonderful to hear that Milo is recovering so well! I bet he will love having freedom to roam everywhere he wants again.

And it sounds really good that your nephew can be closer to home again.

Best healing wishes for your MiL. I hope the doctor actually helps her! And so sorry for James's loss.

To be honest, Milo still spends a lot of time sleeping. But he did that anyway, which I guess is his right at his advanced age. At least he can sleep where he wants now.

Everyone is thrilled my nephew is coming closer. He was ready to move the day he was told, but of course, practical stuff had to be arranged first.

The doctor still hadn't phoned yesterday. My MiL was saying she'll probably be better herself by the time they do. It's really not good enough.

Great news about Milo and your nephew!

I hope your m-i-l is doing better.

I'm sorry about the death of James's school friend.

[turps]

Milo and my nephew have both made me smile lately.

The death of James' friend wasn't a shock, but that never makes things any easier.

Glad to hear Milo's doing well, and great news about your nephew too <3.


Your poor MiL, hopefully she can get some antibs and get clear of the infection.

RIP James' friend.

Milo's doing great considering what a big op it was and his age.

The doctor never got back to my MiL. Which I thought was ridiculous because it was obvious she needed something.

So good to hear Milo is doing so well! He's an amazing old man!

That's wonderful news about your nephew!

Your poor MiL! I hope the doctor will get in contact soon so that she'll get proper medication.

I feel so sad for James. *sends him many hugs and good thoughts*

Milo is an amazing old man. I mean, he's slow, but he was slow when he had four legs too *g*

My nephew will be moving sooner than expected and will be back in the area next week :)

The doctor never got back in touch with my MiL. Which is stupid as she still doesn't feel well and it's a bank holiday tomorrow. James is visiting then and I've told him if she's still not feeling well he'll have to push her to get an emergency appointment at the out of hours doctors.

[shadowhive]

Aww that’s good to hear!

That’s good news too🖤

I hope she feels better soon *sends James hugs*

[turps]

It was good news all around.

Well, apart from my SiL and James' friend.

Amazing news about your nephew! I'm sure it'll make such a difference to your SIL knowing he's nearby. I'm glad to hear that Milo is doing so well too <3

[turps]

We were thrilled when we were told our nephew is coming home. Though obviously not as thrilled as my SiL.

I can't believe that this time next week he'll be in the area again.
