Home Again!

Quote of the day:
"[Real cowboys] lead very drab, mostly repetitive, unexciting lives. But people seem to need to believe that they are simple, strong, and free, and not twisted, fascistic, and dumb, as many I've known have been."
--Larry McMurtry

Yesterday afternoon Merrie got the good news that she was being discharged from the hospital. We braced ourselves for the customary three-hour wait, but she was out in less than two. And her prescription was ready at the pharmacy!

She came home, visited the back yard, took a long shower, had dinner and installed herself in her La-Z-Boy with a cat or two.

Her challenge is to take life slowly. She’s not supposed to have any caffeine, so she will also have to adjust to life without coffee. That will be a big deal.

We’ll see what comes next. Right now, there is one very happy dog in our house. Sophie has her playmate back!
