Well, that was rather a full day.

We started with an appointment with a solicitor regarding setting up wills, which, while unpleasant, turned out to not be as unpleasant as expected. I liked the woman we spoke to. She seemed friendly and had some input on which details might or might not be relevant for us, and some of them were about things we hadn't even thought of.

Finished the day off with a vet appointment for Holly, who has an inflamed tooth. The veterinary nurse agreed with me that it looked Capital S Suspicious, so she's now booked in for the full works. X-rays, teeth cleaning and possibly removal of the bad tooth if they can do it at the same time. She said she could make the booking with extra time for the extraction, but it ultimately depends on what they see on the pictures. If it's more complicated than just the one tooth, it will take too long. I have previously been told it's also a question of there being a limit to how long they can safely keep a cat knocked out. They'll do some blood tests on her at the same time, which is a non-mandatory routine check of organ functions. With several previous kidney-cats, it's not non-mandatory to us.

Roll on the weekend, with book swap day at the library and opera in the cinema!

I booked Holly in for a vet appointment. I strongly suspect she's got an inflamed tooth. It looked rather red around it when I looked at her teeth, but we'll see what they say. If it is inflamed, I'd be surprised if it wasn't FORL* rearing its ugly head again. Ah, it was quite nice not having any chronic conditions going on for a few weeks.

*Feline Oral Resorption Lesion. It's a weird condition where the cat can basically get cavities in their teeth from the inside out. Unknown what triggers it, but it's quite common in cats. Both Luna and Charm had teeth removed because of it.
