That is so true. I made a longish cloth tube for my husband (the tube was handsewn, too— is that devotion or what?) and filled it with rice. It became known as the “rice bag” and worked well for gentle warmth. When the cloth started to decay we had to throw it out. I took a photo of it to remember it by.
Paw Power and the Orb Forever indeed! When you are disgusted and grumbly abut recovery, say sometime in January (see emiesty2’s comment above about April) or ANY other time, we will be here to listen and commiserate.
Of course you’re worried — it would be odd if you weren’t at least a little concerned. It’s hard to imagine having the knowledge to be able to perform that kind of surgery. But this surgeon is an expert and has all the skill and experience that’s required. All will go well, and we will wait to hear your report.
Like Robin, I add my firm instructions to the universe.
I am sure the big guy specializes in little stuff like that. You’re at work in your small non-profit and pray “Dear God, please let me find that check for $10,000 that Mrs. McGillicuddy sent us.” Sure enough, you find it ten seconds later. “Thanks! Now how about world peace?”
Thanks for the update! May every day bring him closer to full recovery!
