Well the vet decided she can come home so I picked her up earlier today.
Her surgery (for bladder stones) apparently went well. She has dribbled out
a few drops of what appear to be bloody urine but the vet says this is
normal for now.
I have not yet even attempted to get a good look at her shaved and sliced
belly area. I'll just leave her be for now.
I managed to get a bit of a brief purr out of her while giving her some ear
scritches, but she still seems a bit out of it.
The other two cats are pretty much totally avoiding her, or leaving her
alone, however you want to look at it.
She has settled down on an old quilt on an old futon that is down in our
basement, which is probably good for her to keep quiet.
Here's the girl looking a bit bedraggled.

Oooh, what a sweet little baby. Did you get the "why oh why would you
do this to me" look?
Smokie Darling (Annie) - will have the furbabies send some purrs for
Ripley.

Awwwww.... She looks like she wants to feel comfy but isn't quite sure about
things. As I previously stated, I was out of town so I didn't pick Persia
up for 3 days after her surgery. By that time she was acting like nothing
had happened and was doing upside downy head and everything when we got
home. Purrs for Ripley to be comfortable and heal up quickly!

beautiful baby.

Awww. I wouldn't look that good after surgery. I'm sure she will be feeling
better soon. Purrs for the whole family.

You can tell she is wondering why she feels so strange. She is a sweet
looking kitty. Purrs for a speedy recovery. MLB

Give her some ear scritches from me too, and tell her I hope she feels
better soon. She looks as if she's had a rough couple of days, poor
dear. But she has a very sweet face.

Sending your intrepid girl the best of get-well-soon purrs. Someone
is going to have to take care of those Alien greeblings.

Strong, vibrating recovery purrs on the way for Ripley. I'm sure she'll
feel much better recovering at home with her Paw than she would with
TED. She actually looks quite good in the picture considering all she's
been through. Give her scritches from me.

Thanks everyone for the purrs and well wishes!
Ripley continues to rest in that one spot in the basement. I'd say she is
maybe 60% here.
The other 40% ??
Well...It's someplace else, and it's not a good place.
She kind of looks at me as if she is thinking: "I'm not sure what happened,
but I am pretty sure it's your fault."
But she does appear to be resting mostly comfortably, so that's something
anyway. I'm sure I would be feeling quite terrible were it me that just had
surgery.
Here she is, her first morning home. Looks like she had a rough night.

Aww, poor little dear. Though maybe not so poor. I think that look says,
'I'm going to get you for this, hooman'. ;o) Purrs that she recovers
soon to wreak her revenge.
