Recuperation

Ben's back from the vet. He's much skinnier now that the fat's been sucked out, but he's wearing a shunt and something that looks like a T-shirt. The shunt will come out next Friday - I'll take him in at the same time as Murphy - but the stitches will have to wait another week and a half, two weeks. He has to be on soft food for the next few days, and I've got another little bag of medications for him.

There's still a little leakage from the shunt, despite the protective shirt; I think I'm going to have to buy new sheets. That, however, will wait until after the shunt's removed.

Ah, well, it's good to have him home again, and once he heals up I'm sure he'll feel a lot better than before the operation.

Thank you! Murphy does seem to be improving, I think, though the sore spots are still visible. He's not shedding as much, at least.

Woot! I don't think mbernardi will stress your boys too much; he's extremely good at the whole disappearing-into-the-corner thing.
