Yesterday Jed had several lumps (benign cysts) removed, as well as a complete dental cleaning. When we picked him up at the vet, he had four large shaved patches, with incisions held together by garish staples. Wobbling on his stubby legs, he looks like a hairy horizontal Frankenstein.
Guarding the troops. Avec vin. |
Later we put a thousand
pillows on the floor surrounding the dog bed, and curled up in the style of a
1960’s hippy commune, minus the Mary Jane. Last night we were a fragile lot, with
our combined total of six incisions,
though the expectation is that we’ll both heal wholly, and completely.
Meanwhile, the focus is on the dog recovery and since I can stay home, I’m fully committed to Jed. He’s been given his medications (I don’t take anything this week) had some cottage cheese (me too), and gone back to sleep. I am dressed in sporty loungewear (blue) as is he (green). The only real difference (besides the length of our pants) is that Jed’s entirely hairy while I’m almost entirely hairless, and Jim is somewhere in between.

Me, post surgery. Jed, pre-surgery |
I look like I'm wearing slippers.
ReplyDeleteThose are slippers, but what we really want to see is both of you lying on the 1000 pillows like a scene out of Woodstock!
ReplyDeleteKeep writing Janet. Your prose is brilliant and is keeping those of us who love and adore you but are far away, feel a little bit closer. X LM & RG
