What's going on with Lucy? Is she still acting weird?

Lucy had her surgery at about 12:30 today and came home at 2.
Since that time (4 hours now), she has been wandering around in the
room I have her shut in, staring eagerly at the walls and behind the
furniture in a hyper-alert state, as if the walls were teeming with
mice. She will let me pet her for a second or two but then resumes her
wall hunting. I called the vet a few hours ago and they said the
anesthesia is probably making her delirious, and that it could last a
few hours. I just tried calling them again but they are closed for the
night. Her eyes are also very dilated. Has anyone ever seen this kind
of reaction to anesthesia? I have seen many animals undergo surgery and
have never witnessed something like this. She does not seem to be in
distress particularly... if her eyes were not dilated and she had not
just had surgery, and if the other cats were not ignoring her behavior,
I might think she was eagerly listening to mice or something. But she
seems totally insane. Any info you can provide on this would be
helpful. I will do some internet research too.
They had said she could drink at 4 and then eat, but I have been
afraid to feed her while she looks so strange.
Thanks,
Michelle
