It has been one week (yesterday) since Kirk's surgery. Everything is going well overall, but we have hit a few more bumps with constipation, pain management, etc. He is also starting to really get stir-crazy as well.

Stitches will come out sometime next week. I think I said 7-10 days earlier in this thread, but I was wrong....it's more like 10-14 days. The incision sites look pretty nice, but more significant is the bone healing and healing that is going on internally... We will know about that after we take the next rads.

Also he makes 6 months on Monday!! I can't believe it!! I think I will have a celebration this weekend instead of next week, because my next week is packed with tests/quizzes/assignments. Anyway, be on the look out for pictures! His fur is growing back and he looks less like a Thanksgiving turkey. I still call him turkey leg though, haha.

I also can't wait to give him a baaaath! Oi. He doesn't stink...but I usually keep him cleaner than he is now. Plus he has some adhesive residue in various places from wraps, patches, etc. Also there is the veggie oil I used to remove the wrap.... Yeah, he's a bit of a mess. But still oh so cute.
