This time last week Jude was still sleeping off the anesthesia from his surgery.
Oy.
So glad to be on this side of his surgery.
He’s struggled so much with his Rx meds that he requested – and the doc agreed – to forgo both of them.
Which means no muscle relaxer (for the constant charlie horses).
And no painkiller.
But our Jude is one determined little guy.
He’s been doing better every day. Even occasionally maneuvering around the house in his tiny wheelchair.
When he’s not in his favorite leather chair watching TV.
Legs propped on his favorite Sponge Bob pillow.
With no shirt.
And his fan on.
He’s still not eating much. I mean, he’s always had a limited appetite, but this experience has seriously affected his palette.
So, for now, chicken nuggets and D@nimals will have suffice.
With a bendy straw.
Anyway he’ll take it is how we’ll make it.
Just so glad to have that big beautiful smile back.
