My Cat Is Poorly

On Wednesday I went to my girlfriends and left me cat in the flat, she was fine jumping around and bitching at me as normal, basically being an irritating little fook, called home on Friday night to see how she is and replenish her food supplies etc and she didnt seem herself.
Anyway, I picked her up to give her a hug and she went really mad at me, hissing, yelping the works!! So I got really worried, couldnt understand it, so I put her on the floor and noticed her back legs gave way, she couldnt walk.
I thought I would give it a day or and see how she is, anyway she seemed to get really bad and upset on the Saturday night, to the point where I was on the verge of calling out an Emergency vet.
Anyway, yesterday, after a good 10 hours sleep, she seemed much better, although still nowhere near right. Again today, she seems to have improved a bit, but I took her the vet anyway.
The vet has said she has either slipped a disc, which should fix itself in time, or she has a tuma on her spine. Given the fact she seems to be getting better since Saturday, the vet was quite positive, so I just got my fingers crossed now.
She gave her an injection into her spinal area and a course of pills, got to go back in a week or so if she is no better for further investiagation.
I hope she's alright, she is only 11 this year and I know that's not too old for a cat; she must be really unwell, cos she has never been ill before in her life, or at least she has never let on about it.
Will keep peeps updated.
Me lil Felix lol!

Cheers guys, she says meow well actually she is sleepin atm, the more the better imho, cos the vet said lots of rest is best for a slipped disc and am really praying its nothing sinister.
Mark, you are quite fond of Felix aint ya haha, I dunno how she has done it, but the curtain was a bit screwed so im hoping she has jumped up at the pidgeons and fallen backwards or even just randomly moved the wrong way and slipped a disc... sounds mad to hope it, but at least its something that "should" (not always though) correct itself in time.

Yeah she is still improving, she almost walking normal now, id say 80% back to normal walking wise, still has a bit of a limp and the odd shaky moment but otherwise it looks good.
She can't jump as yet though, and she is wrecking everything I own pulling herself up onto seats etc with her claws bless her.
How did you fracture ya ribs mate??

Haha!! 
She wasnt a house cat for the first 8 years of her existence, but since me mum sold the house I was living in, she has been forced to become one due to me living in the flat's.
She has taken well to it though as she never ventured far when she had a garden anyway (unlike her brothers), she has always been very much a lap cat, loves nothing then to sleep on ye knee.
So ive been lucky with her in many way's. She still cant jump that I know of yet, but she is continuing to improve with regards her walking, and taking the tablets quite good too, which I was surprised at, thought id have a fight on me hands to give her them lol.

Yeah she okay, still cant jump, she is actually quite good with having the tablets, a bit of relucatance, but wrap them in margerine, open her mouth, throw it down there and she swallows it no problem lol.
