How Things Change
Suddenly the most exciting thing I can do is bathe myself. Which I did. The femoral block has worn off, and now it hurts alot to do some of the exercises. Fortunately, I had been working on keeping my knee flexible before the surgery, so I don't have as far to go as I would if I had been treating it like it was porcelain the whole time. And the new painkillers don't make me puke, so that's all to the good as well. Means I can eat, which seems necessary to the healing process.
The cats have been fabulous. Poor Katala is very lonely, since she doesn't like to come into the bedroom on her own (Quickly has kicked her butt off the bed too many times), so she hasn't been able to snuggle, but the other three have been taking shifts and cuddling a great deal.
Of course, at one point today, Poly decided to attack my foot, which was not at all helpful, but Dave found his musical cat and was able to tempt him off the bed for some roughhousing with something that didn't mind being chewed and clawed. Now he's back to being snuggly and sleepy.
As, for that matter, am I.
