Day 3 - Valium to the Rescue


What a difference a day makes.

The key to the success of the day is medication. we managed to keep him happy all day by giving him the meds before he started in pain. I have been reluctant to give him too much, or more
than prescribed, but i think we've found a healthy balance.

Brooke came by today, followed by Maria and Lydia. It's nice to have beautiful people around, puts everyone in a better mood. Skyler has a thing for blonds. He is very brave when visitors come to see him. Mom has taken to calling him "The Brave One." He spends so much time thinking about the pain, it's nice to occupy his mind on other people and better conversations.

Not much else to report on this day. I managed to grab a nap around 3 in the afternoon, so i was something of zombie the majority of the day. Mom & Dad were gracious enough to give me the night off. I retired to my bed around 8:30. Evidently, he was great through the night. I never heard a peep, and I hear everything.

Gato is after Skyler's toes. He's using a back scratcher to keep the beast at bay. Some pictures are below. Gato just attacked the camera, trying to destroy the evidence...










until tomorrow
