My Recovery

The last week!

So my surgery went very well last Thursday to take the pin out of my ankle so that I can move my joint again! They put me in a funny bandage though and I hate it.. I keep thinking maybe if I shake it lots that it will come off, but so far it hasn't! Tricksie bandage! I'll get it yet... Anymeow, the doctor said that all my bones have healed and so did my tendon! He did say that the tendon was short so I will need to slowly stretch it out.. does anyone know what slowly means cuz I don't. Does that mean to pounce and run less? That really just won't work for me, I don't care what mommy says.. if the toy is there, I will pounce on it! It will be mine! Ok sorry getting distracted again! So tomorrow I go to have my bandage changed and then a week from then it comes off and I am out of my cage!!! I can't WAIT! Mommy has been nice and has been letting me out a little bit longer lately so I can get used to walking on my leg again.. but it is really hard with my bandage. Freedom is eight days away! WHEE!

Yay for New Toys During Recuperation!

Mommy loves me! Yesterday she brought me home this awesome catnip bed to lay on for my cage and it is the best thing ever! I just curl up on it and it is the purrfect size for me. Mommy also brought home a new toy for me today too! It is a nice round pedestal with a wire sticking out of it with a pom-pom and a bell at the end. It is small enough that I can bop it all around and play with it in my cage. Being caged is tough, but thankfully I have lots of nice things to keep me occupied while recovering from my injuries!

5 Weeks To Go!!

Well here we are one week later and I am SO sick of my cage! I just want to run around and "play" with my brothers and sister! Of course my definition of "play" is their definition of "annoy", but thats ok because it amuses me anyway! My mommy lets me out of the cage 1-2 times a day for 5-10 minutes so I can stretch out my legs and play for a little bit, but it never seems like long enough!! I've started to find that if I hide under the bed she has a really hard time trying to get me out and back into the cage. She got Daddy to come and get me out a few times and I figured he just came over to say hi, but I've learned that now he'll put me in the cage too! They think they are so tricky and all.. silly humans. I hate when they pull out the string however.. now that is something I CAN'T resist! Ah well.. it is fun while it lasts! It has been 3.5 weeks since my double femur/tendon fix surgery now and my original tibial fracture I got almost 6 weeks ago must be healed by now! Three weeks to go till my final surgery and then 2 more weeks to recover after that and I'm as good as new! Just keep the string coming!
