So, the owl is home again. Surgery went okay, they removed infection and fistula in four places. Two on my tailbone area, and two more "oh, while we're at it" on my left groin, apparently they saw those while operating and just took them out too. Which is good because hey, gone, but makes changing bandages a little complicated ( Read more... )

But I've finally waded through all of them, cleaned up the best ones, watermarked them and posted them to Flickr ( Read more... )

Whoa, the weather is all over the place this week! Right now it's actually way too hot to sit in my room in front of a warm laptop, but I'm still behind on catching up, so I got myself a cool drink and attempt to wade my way through Tumblr and LJ at least for a bit ( Read more... )

Just a quick entry to say thank you to everyone who sent me comments and well-wishes and all. *smishes all* I'm slowly but steadily up to sozialising again - I went back on my flist, and dear God there's a lot to catch up... sorry if I miss anything ( Read more... )
