bean is out of surgery

She is recovering now...the surgery went well, but the doctor didn't find what he thought he would. No masses, no stones, no crystals...instead, he found "the most inflamed, angry mucosa [bladder lining] that he'd ever seen". He took a biopsy to see if they could tell what caused it. Basically, the lining was so swollen that she had no room left in her bladder...leading to much pain, the constant feeling of needing to urinate, and the inability to hold anything in her bladder. Poor kitty...

Now we have to see what the biopsy tells us...
