I am back at work today, Smokey having recovered enough to be left on his own for hours at a time. He has been handling his own meds for several days, can walk limited distances with his walker and even more limited distances without, and is largely lucid. All of which is a tremendous improvement over the state of affairs that existed for six weeks following the July 16 (first) surgery. Hurrah!
