Kitties!
We are loving having Mommy home all day, providing a warm lap.
The last time she was off on medical leave, we weren't allowed on her lap, if you can believe that noise. Some nonsense about abdominal surgery, blah blah blah. The usual poppycock.
But not this time!
She always has at least one kitty with her at all times, bed, sofa, potty...you name it, and we're there, keeping her company, snuggling on her lap.
Kona: Mommy's been petting me for hours and feeding me all the temptations I can hold.
It's great!
Had I known that this would happen, I'd've kneecapped her years ago.
Rupert: See the spot between my ears? It's getting positively damp from all the kissies Mommy's been planting there.

| Thank you Cathy Keisha for the excellent Nurse's Cap! |
Nurse Grayce: Mommy saw the Orthopedic Doc today--no surgery for her, HURRAH! She'll be getting a special brace for her leg--no cast--DOUBLE HURRAH!! She can take it off to bathe--TRIPLE HURRAH!!!
The Doc says it's a clean break with no displacement and her patella should heal just fine. More X-rays in two weeks and possibly starting physio in three. She'll be off work at least ten more days, possibly more, depending on what her work decides. In the meanwhile we are taking full advantage of the lappage...as you can see. And Mommy is taking advantage of Daddy, hee hee hee! Truly, he's taking good care of Mommy, as are we all.
We may be a bit scarce commenting for the next few days, but if you here a "thunk, click, drag" that's Mommy, gimping around in cyberspace, checking up on y'alls.
Happy Friday!
XX Kona, Rupert, and Grayce XX
A clean break, easy healing and a big pile of kitty nurses! What more could a human need?
ReplyDeleteOops, I should have said kneed!
ReplyDeleteOh, so glad to hear that the news is good. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. XOX T.
ReplyDeleteWith all that kitty love your bound to be better soon!
ReplyDeletehuzzah for no surgery and no cast!!! I'm so glad those kitties are actually doing some nursing and not juts hiding damp catnip mice in your bedding. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo glad the news is good.
ReplyDeleteYay for the good news...um...but doesn't this mean that the lap will go away sooner rather than later??????
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the lap time while you can...let her slather on the kissies. Sigh.
*pout*
My mom has to go to work tomorrow. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteHurrah for no surgery! Looks like you kitties have her well in paw. Keep taking good care of her, weigh her down on the couch so you can relieve her of all the temptations in the house!
ReplyDeleteHooray for no surgery and a full recovery. That is truly fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou just CRACK us up!!! Sorry, we couldn't resists that either.... Seriously, though, the photos today are most excellent!
ReplyDeleteWishing your Mom a pleasant recovery (being at home with all of you has to be pleasant, right?).
Purrs,
The Chans
Oh you guys are SO lucky, we love getting to nurse the Rumblemum better. I hope you're getting lots of treats!! Purrs to your mummy that she feels better!
ReplyDeleteOh noes!! We totally missed the news about your poor mum!! Awwww wonderful Kitties of Katnip Lounge!! You look after mum now! Yay! Take care
ReplyDeletex
Well, we're very glad there is no surgery involved. We wish you a very quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteWhew, it's good your mom won't have to have surgery and can get by with wearing a brace. Now your job is to take really good care of her.
ReplyDeleteWe know your Mom will be getting excellent care from all your trusty paws.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
We're so glad your mom doesn't need surgery. Or a cast! That's a "strawberry" (bright spot) in this ordeal.
ReplyDeleteContinued healing purrs from us!
Kneecapping Mummy Janey for lap cuddles...sounds like a great idea..but we won't tell it was you gave us the idea!

glad to hear the no surgery and removable cast good news. i'm beginning to suspect your mom had the accident on purpose to get out of all those consecutive days of work and to have you all pay extra attention to her...
ReplyDeleteYes, this knee capping sounds like a very good deal. Äiti says she hopes it not too painful for your Mommy - we are sure she has human catnip to cope with it all. And who needs pain killers when the natural enorphins are released through catupuncture .....
ReplyDeleteHope your Mummy's knee heals soon. You kitties are doing a great job.
ReplyDeleteThat's good news for your mommy...and for you guys too...enjoy all that lap time!
ReplyDeleteWe wonder if we shouldn't kneecap our mom??
Yay for good news! No doubt it was due to the extremely good care she's already been receiving and will continue to!
ReplyDeleteWishing your mommy quick and painless recovery!
ReplyDeleteThat is all great news. For kitties and for Mom! We hope for a swift recovery!
ReplyDeleteBrace yourselves for more petting gang!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's pretty great news all the way around! Purring and praying for some good healing (and kitty snuggling). :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear no surgery needed. Now tell mum to keep up with the resting and you all keep up with the nursing. Hugs GJ x
ReplyDeleteKneecapping—isn't that what Tonya Harding did to Nancy "Why me?" Kerrigan at some Olympics or another? I see all the knee jokes have already been used so I'll just say I hope you heal fast and if you kneed anything just holler. Time for me to make a clean break outta here.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a purrfect way to have time off work! It's a win win win!! Course you might have to kneecap mom regularly if you want this to be a more permanent arrangement! Know what I'm saying? ;)
ReplyDeletethank cod your mom doesn't need surgery. i think you have given her so much healing purrs that's why.
ReplyDeleteemma and buster
YAY for no surgery!! LOVE the hat that CK made!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
xoxo
Kisses between kitty ears is the best spot =)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work you all and keep purring. I've heard there is healing powers with kitty purrs.
Terrific news, no surgery! We is furry happy for you mom, though the lappage might not be around as long as you kitties would like. Enjoy it while you can!
ReplyDeleteWe thinks you is all doing a pawsome job of nursing mom back to health!
Sasha, Sami, & Saku
wow. you guys are verrah brave, moving in that close to a Human. but i guess wif the banged up knee, she's not about to lunge for you wif grabby hands and squeeeeeeze you tight, which happens to me whenever i'm not vigilant enuff. so be prepared to dash away, if need be, but enjoy the heating pad and teh smell of teh Ben Gays.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the healing power of the kitty. It sure seems to be working. Tough break for you, Trish. No pun intended, really. Snicker.
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad you kitties are taking such good care of your mommy. Our mommy says that she's super glad your mom doesn't have to have surgery or a cast. You all make sure she rests and heals and lets your daddy wait on her. We're all sending purrayers, purrs and hugs, kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
ReplyDeleteLots of good news :)
ReplyDeleteMy Siamese cat helped my father recuperate from hernia surgery. People recover so much quicker with kitty nurses!
I'm sure you guys are the best medicine your Mom needs!
ReplyDeleteSending some more purrs
Keep up the good work and keep your mum resting and healing.
ReplyDeleteYou all are taking such good care of your mommy we know that will help her knee heal faster than anyone can imagine. We are leaving lots of hugs and nose kisses for her and all you sweet kitties.
ReplyDeleteHope you are 100% soon, Trish.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that surgery isn't
ReplyDeleteneeded! Hope you're feeling better soon!
I am glad no surgery is needed. Sounds like you all are doing a grand job of looking after your mum.
ReplyDeleteWe are SO GLAD yer Mom doesnt need a operashun and that she has so many kittienurses!
ReplyDeleteLooks like mom is being taken care of quite nicely.
ReplyDeletexo Catherine
Glad to hear that the news is positive and that the injury is in a location that doesn't interfere with the kitties nursing duties. It makes me laugh to see all the furry bodies snuggled down. Sometimes in the winter I can't even climb in bed for the kitties trying to hurry me along so they can lay on me, beside me or under the covers. Heal quickly and enjoy the down time as much as you can.
ReplyDeleteTammy
Rupert, well all of you... I am not surprised at all at the good care you are giving your mommy. Help her as much as possible. Then she'll be up serving YOU all and taking care of you again. xoxox
