Surgery and Recovery

My surgery went smoothly - removing the gall bladder took about a half hour and the endometriosis mass took about an hour. Recovery in the hospital wasn't much fun, but I survived! :) Rich has been awesome - waking me up every 4 hours to give me the pain meds and doing whatever else needs to be done. He even built me a super nice step to help me get in and out of bed, since it is so high. Jade has rarely left my side, since I came home - even shooing Midnight away...it's pretty funny. I have a pic to post of Midnight trying to snuggle up, but Jade wouldn't let her...
Midnight has been very calm, overall, and realized quickly that she couldn't hop up on my lap, so she settled for 2 paws on the couch and 2 paws on the floor and stayed that way until I got up to go back to bed. The cool step Rich built - otherwise I would be on the couch!!!
