Welcome Home Hansel

Our femoral heads:

I was very excited when dr. p told me i could keep them.
The green counter is our surgery counter.
People thought i was strange for wanting them. Some of them anyway.

Home. Ben sits next to his brother like nothing happened.
Tesla is afraid of hansel since he returned, and won't go near.
The few times she did, she hissed at him. Not horrible evil hisses, but little hisses,
that made me feel even worse for hansel. He was just trying to kiss his sister whom he loves so very dearly.

Here is our little man.
These are all from last night.

Not the best angle of the boy,
but here he is, our lion.

Nice sutures.

When mom got to work yesterday, dr. p had him out to make sure he was walking.
He RAN down the hallway and under a desk.
So yes, hansel is walking.
We hope to get a video to show all of you exactly how fantastic he is doing.

He is very lovey, and happy to be home. he's doing so well.


playing with camera strings....

All this trouble and pain,
from these two TINY bone fragments.

As for the dark spot on the xray, it most definitely is there, and upon further investigation--- was ALSO there on the first xray we took. It's location however, is untouchable. So, basically, we wait to see what will happen with it. It can't be removed, because its right smack in the middle where the muscles and ligaments and tendons hold the bone to the body.
We just have to hope nothing happens to it.

But, right now, we'll worry about getting him all healed up.

Oh sweet Hansel, we've been worried about you and we're purring really hard for your quick healing. Tell Mom not to worry about the hissy things...we tend to do that sometimes with fresh vet smells.

Shaggy and Scout said...

This is the best news ever!
We are happy everything went so well and you are up & around Hansel. Not like people who take weeks to get to that point, eh?
We always hiss at whoever comes back from the vets and shun them for the day. Don't like vet smell at all!

Welcome home, Hansel!

Hans, Sabrina, Sam and I are SOOOO glad you are home and doing well! Don't worry about Tesla hissing at you, I did the same thing when Sabrina got back from having tooth surgery at the vet, it was all of the weird smells on her. We all are continuing to purray for you ...

Hansel we are so happy you are at home and doing so well! And don't worry too much about Tesla - she just smells vet on you, and since it hasn't been too long since she was there, it may have freaked her out a little. But the smell will go away and everything will get back to normal!

And we think you look cute with your hair cut - we prefer you with fur but it does make you look like a lion!

Sweet Purrfections said...

It's wonderful to see that Hansel is home. I hope his recovering is quick and successful.

Bless heart, sweet Hansel. You've really been through it and have come out like a champ! We will continue to send you lots of healing vibes until you are all healed up!
Mom says she would have kept the femoral heads too! Your shaved legs remind her of Maggie after surgery!

Cindy said...

I pray he heals well and quickly. He looks so naked.

I Love Love seeing him home, that beautiful face. I'm sure the little hisses he's getting are just from a little residual "vet smell". Things will get better quickly!

We are so glad you are home Hansel and are out of danger! Heal quickly and fear not, you still look like a fierce mancat even with the shaved stuff. Tesla will come around she just isn't good with change and she was so scared something really bad had happened to you! The best news is that your family is together.

Hansel, we are SO glad you are home! Now you can heal better and feel better!

Tesla does not like the "Vet" smell... But who can blame her? Nobuddy likes that!

Your new "look" is pawsome,you really DO look like a lion!!! Our furcousin Cookie(TeamTabby) has a similar look. He had to have his tail removed due to a cancerous lump.
Now he is running around all happy too :)
Tesla will come around once you start smelling like her "old" familiar Hansel ;) We kitties do not likr that Vet smell,heehee
Heal fast and be well!!!!!!!!

Daisy said...

I'm so glad to hear that Hans is already walking about! Sweet little lion!

KarenMcG said...

Oh, Hansel.

"The Boys" and I are so glad to hear you are home.

And with your "bone fragments," too.

We came a bit late so didn't catch why you had to have the surgery so we're going to read back over several dates here to figure it out.

As for your sister hissing at you, we hope it won't be for long. Our Billy does that to Bowie sometimes when Bowie comes home from the vet. We think it might be because Bowie smells a little different after being at the vet than he usually does.

We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

And welcome home!
