I got home Thursday afternoon. I have been sleeping and then staying up in my chair and going outside to feel some sun and get a little fresh air. I cannot lift, bend or do other things for the extended healing period. I have learned to put on underpants using a grabber and only making simple meals or eating the soup made for me by a friend. There is a long recovery ahead and the pathology report on the removed lymph nodes is yet to come. The results determine if future treatment is necessary. I see the surgeon again at the end of the month.
Mercy is being loved on at the vet. I am grateful for that. Thanks for all of your kind thoughts and interest. All are appreciated.

I'm so happy to hear from you. I've been all on edge wondering and not wanting to bother you! The grabber method of dressing was so useful to me after the hip, when I couldn't do any of the moves you need, to dress. I'm glad you have soup, always helpful. And that Mercy is still cared for, though I expect you're missing her. Get well and strong soon. It does take a while.
So happy to hear that you are home and that Mercy is being taken care of as well as your friend making you meals. Here's to a full recovery.
I'm so glad to hear you're home, e. I've been wondering about you. I know Mercy is glad to have you back and I'm sure you're happy to be there! Thanks for posting and keeping us in the loop!
Thank you for updating us! I'm glad you are home and recovering and keeping things simple. Give yourself time to fully heal and recover. Sending you well wishes.
We've been waiting for a report. Thank you for giving us one. May all be well. Rest and heal.
So glad you've posted with this update - take good care of yourself. Recovery may seem endless at times but it will pass eventually. Rest, eat well, do all the things you already know to do. Thinking of you.
So happy to see you are home! Wishes for a quick recovery. I know that you AND Mercy will be happy when you are together again.
I wasn't here yesterday so I missed this. I am so happy you are home and recovering and that Mercy is doing well. It's so good to hear from you.
So happy to know you are home safe and sound and have a plan to nourish yourself and get outside into the sunlight. It must help settle your heart to know Mercy is doing well.
So relieved to read this, e, I've been absent from Blogland for a while with my own small issues. Glad you are managing and eating some good soups. Surgery can be painful and limiting physically but it sounds like you are coping well and Mercy looks great.
