The light at the end of the tunnel

I got my right knee operated on this morning by the usual team, Dr. Shabbi Khan and the great nurses at Seton. I have high hopes that this – along with hyaluronic acid injections – will do it.  So far, the right knee seems much less painful than the left knee did, although the doctor says that tomorrow will probably be worse.

 

Spike the pet cat

Our cat, Spike, is a neverending source of amusement. He is an old cat with FIV* and was given a short time to live when Michele found him – almost blind – on our back deck over eight years ago. After an operation that cost way more than we should have spent on a stray animal, he seems to see pretty well and is healthier than we could have ever expected. Now he sleeps most of the time, often – during the day – with a front paw over his eyes to block out the light (we imagine).
