[Quiet Man Cometh]

That's good. Nice to have a pet come back home after a trip to the vet. If you haven't already done so, maybe stack some boxes around furniture or stuff that your cat likes to lie on in case she's too sore to jump up. I'm not familiar with cats, but I did that for my dog when he started to get old and had some joint trouble. Some stacked boxes for a makeshift ladder, and a towel wrapped around them for traction worked well. My sister made a sort of fish ladder for him as well, so he could get on my bed.
