As I’ve described in my other blog, I had spinal surgery on Monday, September 20. Thankfully the surgery went really well. I spent four nights in the hospital and, since being released on Friday, September 24, I’ve been pretty much confined to the house. I’ve spent most of the time since I came home moving from the couch to the floor to the bed and back and forth. I can’t drive, I can’t walk too far. I can’t do anything active. Fun.

But at least I’ve had the good company of the boys, who have been more than happy to be lazy bums with me.

For the first few days, they only moved position when I moved position. Like this time when I decided to lie on the couch with my feet at the other end!

The first excitement for the boys this week was to go see Alex and get groomed! They actually like going to Alex – or so we tell ourselves – but even if they don’t like it, we sure do. Charlie always comes back looking like he’s lost about 1/3 of his bodyfat and they just look so debonair.

We’ve been going on regular walks – lots of short ones. But since I’m beginning to feel much better and can walk comfortably and even sort of bend over, today we got to spend a little time sitting in the sun and then playing around in the backyard.
