After yet another onset of pain, I had to take my vicodin last night. I have to sit up to sleep when I'm on it, so it seems I get many furry friends eager to keep my lap and tummy warm during the night and morning.

I also wake up about once each hour for some reason, but its so sweet to look down to see who is my nurse.

This morning, I awoke to Basie under my legs (under the covers), Phoebe on my chest, Hermie and Micah snuggling up against my side and Samson keeping my feet warm.

Noah and Noel were on their bedroom cat trees and Livvy was at the foot of our bed. Eight cats in all! Its enough to make anyone feel better.
