Tayet
Finally got the call - Tayet is OK and is doing well. Both surgeries went well and without complication. They did even try the claw thing, but the stone was so big they couldn't get it past the neck of the bladder.
The pu site won't heal for at least 6 weeks. The abdominal site should be healed sooner than that, and while it was pretty chewed up in there, the surgeon did not lay out a gloom and doom recovery plan. We'll pick him up in a couple of days, and then comes the very long, very difficult recuperation and healing. At least 30 days in the "chicken coop" [you can see this 9th wonder of the world here ] and possibly more. If anyone has tricks on e-collars and cats, please share. We'll be trying everything, since Tayet is a bit of a Houdini. We'll also have a call with the doctor tomorrow for more detailed information on the recover period and plan.
From here on out, Tayet will be getting an ultrasound every six months.
Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts and prayers.
