Solidarity! A fine day to scream, but I don't want to worry my family. I had no idea when I saved this how often I'd have occasion to offer it.

Blast. My KingDome for an edit button. The alt text is incorrect. Trifle is a Siberian cat, not a Siberian car.

Wow! Great portrait composition, like, print that one out, and give it a frame. The lighting, your frank gaze, your general prettiness, almost renaissance vibe. Your selfie-fu is UNSTOPPABLE.

She is both holding my weary spirit together with her soft purr, AND weighing heavy on my bladder. TrifleCat is multitasking.

Trifle the Siberian car munificently accepts tender caresses on her face stripes

Trifle, a cream colored Siberian cat with "lynx point" tabby striped face and rests on my chest and belly. My post-op hip muscle repair remains sore, but my heart is full.

The English have this trick in the bag. This luscious decadence that comes in many flavors is what they call "digestive biscuits." I feel my gut health improving just looking at them, don't you?

Also, you're not in America, right? Unlike me, you WON'T be charged thousands and thousands to get a little peace of mind by dropping by an emergency room. So, you know, maybe you don't need American stoicism.

Call your doc if you have persistent fevers, even low ones, or if your incision dehisces and drains (opens, oozes, can be an infection risk). Dramatic swelling could also be a reason to call. bruising is really scary, but likely normal.

I have atelectasis, partial lung deflation from previous pneumonias. I have to ask doctors and nurses to wear masks. And THEN ask that they wear them correctly. PROVIDERS really shouldn't passive-aggressively dicknose when examining an immune-compromised patient.
