Three Days – Three Trips to the Doctor

Being out of work again for a few days and walking in to see people who don’t normally work on a Wednesday does nothing to help me figure out what day it is. Taking Lion to a surgery and two doctor appointments in three days isn’t helpful either. If you told me today was Thursday I’d probably believe you.

Lion has had a setback in his recovery. Pressure is up again in the surgical eye. In addition to the regiment of drugs needed for the surgery, he now needs the initial four drugs to combat the higher pressure. Seven drops spaced five minutes apart seems like it will take forever. I told him we may need to start just after dinner to get them all done by bedtime.

All this running back and forth to Seattle has convinced me that I either need to find a job working from home or a job at the hospital so I can see more of Lion since he’s there so often. Working from home would probably be optimum. Of course, with a laptop, “home” can be anywhere there’s internet connectivity.

Last night Lion announced he thought he was horny. When I snuggled close it was apparent he wasn’t horny enough for an erection. The mind was willing but the body was unable. It surprised me when he said he was horny so it didn’t surprise me when he really wasn’t. I don’t know how long it takes for anesthesia to fully work its way out of the body but it seemed a little soon to me. But I wasn’t going to leave him hanging if he was horny.

Now with the setback, I think things are pretty much on the back burner until the weekend. That’s not to say I won’t give him attention if he wants it sooner. Any time he’s ready, I’m ready. And I’ll never be upset if it turns out to be a false alarm.
