cat-napping

I’ve probably mentioned before that I’ve been having a problem lately with a kidney stone. Wednesday I had a surgical procedure called “lithotripsy” where they blasted me with shock waves to break up the stone. Since then I have mostly been lying around in sunny spots with a cat sitting on my chest while I doze or read. It’s nice doing nothing.

    You know, laying around in sunny spots with a cat on your chest when you doze, doesn’t sound half bad.

    Hope you’re feeling right as rain soon.

  2. I told you rock-biting was a nasty habit…*grin*

    Hope you are better soon. Sounds rather painful.

    Amy: Actually there is very little pain from the procedure. I could feel the after-effects of the anesthesia for a couple days though.

    Ivan: Hi, cuz!  Enjoyed your great  series on Tales from Elm Flat.

Did U Experience That As Well?
