Mickey is home
And he's eating! (beef baby food - can't say I blame him for refusing a/d)
He has a very long, ghastly looking (angry red) stapled up incision - will post a pic of it later - but seems happy and comfortable. We are thrilled that's he back and doing so well. |

Did they give you pain medication for him? No. We asked for them, but Dr. said the only pain he will have will be during a BM and then only if the stool is not very soft. They gave stool softener. He really seems to feel fine. In fact if he slips out of Dave's room, he wants to run all over the place and play with everyone. |

I saw my surgeon today and he "snipped" what he said was nerveless scar tissue between two openings in my wound and even after *lots* of pain killers I'm still over the moon in pain. Major stomach surgery like that has got to hurt. But I guess the creature best in the world at hiding pain would not show it. I can't help it, that has got to hurt - my cats squeal when I step in a stray tail. But I also know he'll get better soon and will definitely forget all about the pain, and his pain, like mine, is a *GOOD* thing because it means we're alive when we probably both should have been dead, so never mind, he's probably running around giddy from that. ; -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

Neither of you should be able to come within 100 miles of any feline. You are both animal abusers. |

[Sorry, Lori, this demands a recipe!] Chicken Stew with Cornmeal Dumplings (WAS: Mickey is home)

In fact if he slips out of Dave's room, he wants to run all over the place and play with everyone. **** (snip know-it-all troll attack) Chicken Stew with Cornmeal Dumplings (adapted from the American Heart Association Cookbook, 25th anniversary edition) The Stew: 4 boneless chicken breast halves (about 2-1/2 lbs), skinned 5 c. water 1 bay leaf 1 tsp. dried basil, crumbled 1 tsp. dried oregano, crumbled 1/4 tsp. salt (I'm more generous with it than that) 1/4 tsp. ground sage 1/4 tsp. pepper (I use cayenne, I like spice!) 1 medium zucchini, sliced 1 medium yellow (crookneck) squash, sliced Cornmeal Dumplings: 1/2 c. all purpose flour 1/3 c. cornmeal 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt dash of black pepper 1 large egg 1 Tbs. vegetable shortening 1/4 c. non-fat milk Combine all the stew ingredients except the squash and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Add the zucchini and yellow squash to the stew mixture. (It doesn't take long for summer squash to cook.) Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. Blend together the dry ingredients and cut the shortening into the mixture with a fork. Add the egg and milk and stir until blended. Drop by teaspoonfuls into the bubbling hot stew. Cook uncovered 10 minutes, then cover and cook 10 minutes more. Jill |
