Whew! This experience is going to be the death of me.

BooBoo is fine--we just brought him home. Mr. Lorraine and I, on the other hand, are wrecks. I'm so tense and on-edge that if anyone looks funny at me, I'm going to blow. I have relatives that like to verbally analyze things and talk them to death and this is what's going on now. Now that BooBoo's home and settled, I'm going to hide out for a while while I pull myself together.

As I said, we brought BooBoo home about an hour ago. We tried NOT putting him in a cage, since the vet said that as long as he's quiet and doesn't move around much, that's ok. Well, BooBoo is NOT quiet; the sound coming out of him is somewhere between a howl and an moan. Most unnerving. He also is surprisingly mobile; he ran around the room a couple of times and tried to CLIMB UP THE WALL, for God's sake, and climbing is one of the things he must NOT do. So now he's in his cage and wailing eerily.

But I think this will be a case of "all's well that ends well". As long as BooBoo recovers--and he should, completely, because the surgeon didn't have to remove any muscle tissue so no limping or anything like that--it'll be worth it.
