Thanks again everyone. T & P have been a great comfort - as usual. Tubby is always my purr baby and loves laying on me and purring away as I pet him - great therapy. And Peanut has been overly affectionate since her Daddy had a trade show at McCormick place and has been especially busy this week - and away from home. So she's deprived of his attentions - so she comes to me but rather than minding, I love the extra attention from her.

I'm surprised that the lump is still sore from being poked so many times. Hurts when I sneeze. But I'm sure it's just healing and will be fine.
