I’ve gotten to be in doors a bit more than usual these last couple of days. Mostly because I like to be inside my wonderful house where I can cook and do fun things like clean the toilets and sweep and vacuum dog hair off the floor.

He’s doing much better since the surgery. Typically the first 2-3 days are the worst: pain and pain medications around the clock, constant slight nausea, dizziness (due to the meds)….  Today’s the second post op day. He got to take off the big bulky dressing and take a shower.

So he is camped out on the couch and I get to baby him. He doesn’t let me do that now that he’s 17 and almost grown up and stuff. And in a couple of days, he’ll feel closer to “normal” and I won’t get to baby him any more.

But for now, well, he’s all mine!
