Me and our cat Lizzy have always been good friends. With my knee surgery now we are really good friends. Part of my recovery has been putting my leg in a knee bending session every day for two two hour sessions every day. So I do that while laying on our bed. Lizzie joins me for at every session for at least an hour or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She naps mainly, I also nap, and read and post photos on social media. Believe it or not, it goes by pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She just kind of lays there. Every once in a while she gets up and sniffs my leg like she is checking on progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love the company<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I spend a lot of other time in the living room sitting up with an ice machine on my leg. I surf the net, read the news. Lizzie likes getting in my lap then. Nothing like a purry cat sitting on your sore leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She spends a little time, then leaves, and comes back after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I get up really early these days. My meds kind of run out so I move out into the living room and reload on the drugs and ice. The other day Lizzie showed up and wouldn’t move out of my lap so no reading the paper for about an hour and half. So I’d pet her and she’d purr, and like I said before. Nothing like a purring cat for healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here is the latest photo. I know its just the dressing. The stitches are looking good, very nice and tight. My wife and I are not much into hospital photos. I know other people like them, not me, not of me, nor of other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The unexpected thing was my ankle. It’s like a bad sprain. Both leg and ankle are healing up fairly well. I wish it were faster. In the meantime, I am glad Lizzy is around. What a sweet companion to have during recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
