Are you feeling better because you’re feeling better or because you don’t have any choice? ---

Well, there’s the crux. I do feel stronger. My incision is coming together nicely (😋) I had a dialysis port replacement. They say this one has a clot reducer. That should make my stay in a dialysis chair shorter by about 40%. I’m getting some good eats thanks to the Lil’Wrekker and Hamza. I’m happy-ish. ---

Yep. Holiday. Came home to full house. My youngest brother and girlfriend and her daughter and a toddler. All my kids are here as well. The pets were happy to see me. The Siamese approached carefully. Fat tails and whiskers flicking. I passed muster. I immediately went to the bed and conked out. By the looks of my house they had a large time. Clean up is happening this morning. Still, I’m happy to be here. B. The girl who lived and came home. ---

Dear Mother Sascha, what my black and white Domestic Shorthair called my Lilac-Point Siamese, was nothing like that, just a sweet bag of bones. Wife called her Skinny Bones Jones, but Sascha didn’t like that. Cats are people. ---

Good for the meezers. Every time I had brought my cat with cancer home from his monthly chemo, Vienna was very wary of him, keeping distant till she was sure who he was. ---

@Beck, we are nothing alike. I can’t imagine having family members who would descend en masse on the home of a person who just got released from the hospital after major surgery.
