speedy recovery

On Friday afternoon, I went under the knife. It was a simple outpatient procedure to remove a cyst that had been hanging out under the surface of my neck for too many years. Everything went fine, but I was pretty groggy from the sedation when I got home. I could barely lie down before Buddy was on the job with his healing purrs.


I'm so grateful for my cuddly kitties and their healing purr-powers.

Before I left the house to go to surgery, I was hanging out with Oliver on the bed. He so loves being an inside kitty and cuddling. Just a few hours later, when I went into the operating room and got settled on the operating table, I remembered the Oliver cuddles I had enjoyed. What a pleasant way to drift to sleep.

I failed to get pictures of Oliver cuddling pre-surgery, but thankfully, he was very gracious and offered to re-enact the cuddle on Saturday, for your viewing pleasure. Thank you Oliver, for your kind and thoughtful nature.

With this kitty crew looking after me, I'll be healed up in no time! Kitties are the best!! Oh, and a big thanks to Laura, who makes a darn good nurse (for a human)!

  11. I've had two cysts removed from my right wrist (they grow back!), and I know it's a simple procedure, but it's still painful, so I hope that you heal quickly, and I hope that the pain isn't too unbearable! Your kitties seem to be taking good care of you, and I'm sure Laura is, too. :) Healing purrs and hugs to you.
