Finally some good news. Not out of the woods yet, but Peach made it through the surgery ok, her spleen was removed, the surgeon looked around and saw no obvious signs of cancer or anything else, and with the spleen now gone itās not choking off her blood flow. Still have to make sure she stabilizes back to normal today and tomorrow, and still need to have the spleen biopsied to check for cancer or infection, but it is the gut feeling of the doctor based on everything so far that it really was just the spleen flipping over and enlarging. Either way, even if thereās something there and a bad outcome is still a week or month down the road, if she stabilizes then we can still have her at home, make arrangements, and say goodbye to her on our terms. Still staying alert for a bad turn around, but right now the odds are more in her favor than against, and this is a huge relief at last.

I got my boiler replaced and heating fixed on Wednesday, so thatās all sorted. The new fridge freezer arrived today and was meant to be installed and the guys take away the old one. Turns out, the old one isnāt just plugged into a socket but is hotwired into the mains via a fuse. The delivery guys arenāt equipped to deal with that, so I currently have my new fridge freezer running in my living room whilst I wait for the electrician to come on Monday to hopefully be able to sort it out, and then the delivery men can come back and finish the installation. No idea why it goes into the mains, itās just a standard mid range fridge freezer, not one of those big bulky ones or something. Baffling.
Anyway, the good news is that the last carpet is getting laid on Friday, then a week on Wednesday Iām getting everything out of storage. Will be so nice to get my recliner and old TV and ton of other stuff back. Still no date on when Iāll get internet but Iām hoping by the time my stuff is back, it wonāt be too much longer.

Peach is coming back home this afternoon! Sheās eating regularly, moving around, and overall doing well to recover from the surgery and the decline in blood. Her count is still a little low, so her body is destroying some of the transfused blood cells, but not to a dangerous degree, and given that itās been almost 24 hours since the transfusion, a small decline isnāt seen as unusual as her body slowly starts to make its own. The doctors hoped it wouldnāt happen in this way, but itās not unexpected and currently not critical. The fact that everything else is stable and sheās acting more like normal is a big sign that sheāll most likely bounce back from this, we just need to watch her for a few days to make sure she doesnāt show signs that sheās still not making new blood. And then of course the biopsy of her spleen, but weāll deal with that when we come to it. If she can just get over this last hump and replenish her blood back to normal levels, we will hopefully have this whole episode behind us soon.

Having one of those days when you feel shit but canāt find a reason to it and everything seems pointless although it isnāt.
Some sleep will probably help
