172 eyelets

And I start to like them!
Part 4 of Chatelaine's Frosty Knotgarden Mandala is finished. Part 5 will be released on next Monday.

Julius has had his surgery this morning and is recovering in a bench at the vet's at the moment. I am going to fetch him later this afternoon. The bloodtest showed he has an inflamation again somewhere in his body, but like this spring the vet can't find anything that could cause it. He phoned to consider if he should remove the growth today or sometime later and first cure the inflamation. There would be no extra risk to do both things at the same time, so the growth is removed with a little bit of muscle tissue and is sent to the lab. Julius got a shot of antibiotics and will have pills for some time. The prognises is he will fully recover within a couple of weeks. The only uncertain fact is the growth, which could be malignant. Right now I am very relieved!!

Wat wordt deze toch mooi, een fijne afleiding ook denk ik nu met julius bij de dierenarts.
Ik zal voor hem duimen en hoop dat hij zich snel weer wat beter voelt.

Groetjes Yvon.
