Now for the not so good news. As you can guess, she's still in hospital. Its
the leg that they took the vein out of. Its very infected, to the point
where theres some dead spot that will have to be removed and plumped up with
tissue from elsewhere so it doesn't heal deformed. Its swollen to twice the
normal size, bright red, very hot and very very painful.

Oww, this sounds very painful. I'm so sorry. I know she's had leg probs
due to diabetes, and this is potentially very serious for a diabetic. We
are sending many purrs that the infection can be stopped and the leg
heals completely.
