Josie is back home today.

Josie is much calmer and very happy to be home.
She coped with the car trip very well and she was not car sick.
She was happy and affectionate at home when I let her out of the carrier. She was so happy to eat and drink straight away.

She is not supposed to be on the bed. I found her there. She doesn't normally get on my bed but she is now. It's a problem, she keeps going back there.
I have to wear disposable gloves when I touch her.
Her radiation levels are 92, which are just inside safe levels the vet said. She can stay 2minutes on my lap at a time but she's not a lap cat so that's ok. I can't pick her up and put my cheek against her.
For 2 weeks I can only touch Josie with disposable gloves.

I am very happy to have her home. I will test her thyroid levels in 3-4weeks, and the vet also wants me to do another urinalysis, that is a dip stick test on her urine, to make sure there is still no glucose present just as a precaution.

Josie has been drinking a lot since being home, and this does worry me. I won't relax until I see her blood tests and urine tests. I'm hoping the drinking is her just catching up. She's been drinking a lot even late tonight. Hopefully tomorrow she will calm down.

At the moment I must dispose of her kitty litter daily bagged and using gloves. That was important. The idea is not to give myself unnecessary radiation exposure due to the fact they don't know how it might affect humans even at these lower levels.

I sincerely thank everyone for your encouraging words and understanding, for your support in any and every way, it has been very helpful to me.
