Is it bothering her? If it isn't, I wouldn't really worry about spending horrendous amounts at a vet... It might eventually pop out, similarly to the way a splinter would... or the immune system may break it down. If she's not sick or in pain... well.. I guess it's up to you.

Ouch.. Yeah, I would definitely get it out then... If it hurts when it's touched it's most likely inflamed. Poor kitty.

Hurray! I'm glad your kitty is better!

It's always so distressing when a pet is sick/injured. =/

Okay. Here's the story:

I traveled in a dually truck from Southern California to Northern Idaho and back... in January. Getting there, we went Through Nevada, Utah and part of Montana. On the way back, we went through Washington, Oregon and Northern California.

It was the worst experience of my life, no joke. On the way up, we were caught in a small snowstorm in Utah. We ended up pulling into a truck stop to sleep (we had no extra money for a hotel), and the next morning, the road was clear enough to drive without chains. We start getting into southern Idaho.. and we pull over near a gas station for chains. *Keep in mind that the places you are traveling through may be devoid of people.* It was the first time in my husband's, our friend's and mine we had ever tried putting chains on. It took 2 hours.
We drove for a bit, then the snow cleared. We kept on... Montana was insane. Talk about heavy snow storms. Our headlights were so muddy/snowy that we had our brights on and could barely see.

Now, going through Washington was awful. We couldn't see past the hood of the truck. The rigs go around you at 60mph while you're doing 25mph. Let's not talk about the hills and slopes and chains-required areas we had to go through to were horrendous. And you would think it wouldn't be because we were, after all, driving a six-wheeled truck. We nearly went sideways into a frozen lake in Oregon (which, by the way doesn't plow their roads much at all).

To tally all of the things going wrong:
We didn't know how to put chains on the tired.
One of our chains broke and nearly took out the fender.
We rear ended someone because the truck wouldn't stop on ice.
We got stuck in a ditch we didn't know was there because it was snowy.
Nearly fell into a lake in Oregon.
We got a flat tire immediately getting into Northern California
The small U-Haul trailer fell off the truck in a shady town outside of Sacramento.

So, my advice:
Prepare for the absolute worst.
Some states clear there roads a LOT better than other. (The border between Oregon and California was a line from unplowed roads to plowed.)
Give yourself plenty of time... don't rush.
Get and learn to use chains. I can't imagine what Missouri winters are like.
Winter tires are helpful... especially if you're used to California weather. We had all weather tires.. and could have greatly benefited from the extra traction winter tires provide.

Just a suggestion: look at the weather in the major cities you'll be going through, so you can be prepared for any snow/rain/sleet.

Good luck!
(Sorry this was long...)

My brother was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri (which is right off the 44), and he says the freeway there is kept up really well.

When it comes to beer... I really enjoy hefeweisen. A little Pyramid... with a nice thick slice of orange on a hot day... yum.

As for general alcoholic beverage: Vodka. Straight or with juice, diet coke, diet Dr. Pepper, or better yet, Diet Coke with Cherry.

Yes folks, I have tried wine before.

All of it sucks ass. From Red, clear, and even aged wine. I have taste tested them all.

It's more of that kinda drink in which you eat great food with. That is what people have told me. But when I was in Server training I seriously disliked it.

Maybe it's branded wine.

The only wine I enjoy is cheap, two buck chuck... Preferably white zinfandel or a fruity wine.

One think you have to try is sangria if you haven't. It's red wine mixed with ginger ale (or some other carbonated light drink like sparkling lemonade or Sprite), with a ton of sliced fruits: oranges,lemons, limes, berries, cherries, etc...

Absinthe is kind of boring... You don't really get drunk, you just get really relaxed... and it tastes like black licorice (anise).

Christmas Eve is always spent with my family, a mishmash of my dad's side and my mom's. Christmas day is spent with the in-laws... and is something I always dread because they do everything so differently... They don't open presents until after eating dinner (Even though dinner is at like, 1 in the afternoon...), so you're bored and making awkward conversation the whole day. =/

The zodiac signs that Westerner's use hasn't changed. The ones that did are the sidereal zodiac, which we don't follow. Your sign is the same, unless you follow the sidereal!

Here in the good ol' Palm Springs area of Southern California: 77˚ and sunny!

It doesn't change much... I kind of wish it would.
