worming cats

Formerly Feral

Hi there, Gertrude here. Can you tell that I am talking a blue streak to the Person. I do love to talk to her. I am sitting on a post between our driveway and the neighbors place.

Now here she comes with that darn camera. But that is all right, it is fun being up here. I can see for a long ways from here.

We want to send our condolences to Sascha, Gracie, Brian, Precious, Zoe, and Dolly and Kit over at Brian's Home, since their grandmother had to go to the bridge yesterday and Mom Celeste and Dad Terry. Brian's Home

We sure hope everyone has a great Friday.

Thankful Thursday

We are so thankful for our new cat tree. We spend most of the day on it and as you can see we can snoopervise everything from up here.

Black here, and even I like this tree except I don't know why Little Bit is giving me the look. I am allowed to sit on this too. We are so lucky that the Person has such good friends.

We thought you might want to see whose foot that was yesterday whapping at Two Two. It is me, Lucky. That darn Two Two needs some whapping. *********************************************

We are so hoping everyone has a great day.

Corneal Transplants Under Scrutiny

Corneal transplants (grafts) are assumed to be very successful, but until now the procedure has not been fully examined. A survey of nearly five thousand patients, 4499 to be precise, was done. After a year 92 per cent of transplants were deemed to be successful. An astonishing 1,395 patients had failed results after seven years.

Plain rejection was the major detrimental cause in a third of failed operations. Infection impacted on 18 per cent, with glaucoma affecting 9 per cent. A worrying point is that 10 per cent of recipients did not have any improvement in vision and only a fifth of these experienced rejection. Indeed, some had poorer vision.

It seems too much time is spent on lessening rejection and not enough time is targeted at improving overall patient outcomes. Having to do the operation again is a real tragedy for a patient. He/she would not be in a positive frame of mind after a failure the first time.
