So excited recognize Striker after reading Dogland. We caught a couple of hours of Westminster and it was all the more entertaining after reading your book last year! Thank you for that.
Great stuff as always, and glad to hear how well things are going with the knee.
I've been fortunate in my life to have not been in a lot of physical pain. I had double-hernia surgery over the summer, and part of recovery was to be able to eventually move around to get up and use the restroom. Once you can do that OK, they let you go home.
Given my lucky lack of pain in my life, I didn't have a good handle on the pain scale. What is real pain, anyway? And besides, I didn't want to be a wimp.
I finally feel like I'm ready to try the bathroom thing. My wonderful nurse, an older southern woman, asked my pain scale. I said, "Uh, maybe a three?" She said, "OK, go on and try to get up and use the restroom."
I go to move to sit up and just howl in pain. Clearly, everything has mostly worn off. I crumble back into my recovery bed.
Nurse pats me on the chest and says, "Honey, that ain't a three, that's a two."
I was hurting, but I could still be incredulous. "Two?! That's a TWO?!" Wha?????"
"Yeah, baby," she said. "As in two Vicodin. Stay here and I'll get 'em. You've still got a while."
Good to hear you’re doing well with PT. I loved the snow, but really appreciated the new generator my brother installed in the event we lost power during the ice storm the week before. I’m so blessed with my siblings and that my brother would travel from Lancaster to Salisbury several times to get this thing just right, well, my heart grew three sizes that day when we tested it and all worked exactly as it was supposed to. I know you have a close family and understand how much taking care of each other means!

God bless Nurse Vivian.
Glad you’re back and feeling better!! We got about 4 inches here in Greenville. About Corgi height! But he loved playing in it!
Good knee news!
So glad you're back and rehab is going so well! That is one happy cat.
Yay!!😊🎉. You are back!!🥰 Marjie
Continued good health to you!

The scritching of your therapist made my day. Cats are good medicine!
Glad to hear you're on the mend!
I'm looking forward to your next book. (No pressure.) : )
