In Reply to: Is Iz strong enough today to ...... posted by Lisa on October 28, 2000 at 13:52:02:

he does seem to be feeling a heckuva lot better today! he's very alert + his color is great ... he'd be active if his dumb ol' humommy (his words) would let him get out of his cupboard-bed! i did let him wander around on the humon's water bed for a while after his afternoon dose of fluids ... i forgot to put a pillow over the mirror that's on the headboard and iZ was over there, bobbin' away at his reflexion ...

there's very subtle signs that he's still awfully sore, but i think he actually hurts less at this point than what he did before surgery ... (that might sound weird, but i've been there + it *is* possible) ...

he's peeing good (tho the urates are really ugly, pink tinged right now from surgery) ...

he's totally sick of me squirting stuff into his mouth tho!!! and he really scared me last nite + this morning cuz i had him on my lap and all of a sudden he went into the spastic-thrashing-ig mode ... ACK! had to try and restrain him before HE hurt himself without ME hurting him either ... *geesh* ... now we just *start out* snuggled up nice in a towel "to stay warm" ... (*wink*) ...

have been keeping his corner dark for most of the day so he'll sleep/relax thru the worst of the post-op pain/discomfort ...

i'm still very much in the crazed-with-worry hummomy mode ... but he's looking good and acting like he feels so much better than he has ... this is so very very different from everything we went thru last year ... he's so much stronger this time and is at close to his healthy weight ... AND ... his kidneys aren't the prob this time around (*Whew*!) and are actually functioning pretty darn good + so that makes everything less scary and makes iZ alot less sick than he was ...

gonna *slowly* increase how much he gets to move around over the next couple weeks ... i'm pretty sure he'd be climbing all over the place given 1/2 a chance and i don't want to risk him injuring himself and/or overdoing it + setting himself back ...

Thank You Everyone for all the positive vibes and well wishes!!!!

Bon. + iZ (who likes naps even more than usual lately)
