Well, hello there, my dear old blog! I've missed you! SO many changes in my life; I don't know quite where to start. I am currently recovering from back surgery - lower spinal fusion and laminectomy a month ago - and will likely be starting on 'real' MS drugs (the kind I'll have to self-inject) once I'm healed and fully back on my feet. I'm in a new apartment now (as of last April), first floor and NO BATS. (Woot!) A lot of pain at present, because the surgery seems to have kicked the MS symptoms into high gear, but at least I don't have a flight of stairs to contend with (or the constant fear of bats appearing over my head while I lie in bed at night). A much smaller place, which is good. It's cozy and so much easier for me to keep up with. Was using a walker around the house for awhile but am able to wobble around on my own now. Have to use the walker whenever I go out and am not yet able to go much further than a block or two, but that'll increase as my incision heals.
Bubba turned 12 last month and is still my 'big fat grumpy old love'. Rocky is slowly coming around and growing more affectionate. He'll never be a lap kitty, but he has taken to sitting next to me on the love seat for much of the day. Still yodels most every night, just to let the neighbors know he exists.
I've made a promise to myself not to abandon this blog again. I've truly missed it. To leave you with a smile (if anyone is actually reading this), here's a pic from Bubba's 12th birthday.
