Cowboy here. My wife is slowly - very slowly - recovering. The medics are pleased with her progress but she has a bit more healing to do before she can undergo surgery to correct the problem. Thought surgery would take place early October; looks like November will be the earliest.
For now, Sar is awake most of the day, out of bed under her own steam several hours each time, looking more like herself. I know she's feeling better; she's back to making demands-- twinkies, chocolate, green jelly beans. She ate Mac & cheese for breakfast. (Had to make it for the dogs.) She's put on some much needed weight-about 7 lbs-which puts her past the 100 lb mark. For this I am grateful. Hoping this continues; she could use another 10-15 lbs.
Did I mention the imp's taught the dogs to "sing" on command? Driving me nuts. Her friend Alli is here from Chicago. The 2 of them with their heads together is about as daunting as looking down the barrel of an AK47. No telling what mischief those 2 are brewing.
Sar thinks she can do pretty much what she's always done but her body doesn't always cooperate. She continues to tire easily. Naps aren't as frequent but she does rest often. We've had a bit of rain which makes her happy and keeps her calm. I hold her on my lap and watch the rain with her. She says I hold her so she doesn't go out in it. That's 1 reason. Holding her makes me happy.
Alli is encouraging the imp to write. I bought her a new laptop for just that purpose. We'll see. I've kept her up to date on the email she's received from you. Both of us appreciate your many good wishes for her recovery.

I'm still keeping Sar in my thoughts :)
Thanks Cowboy for the update. So glad Sar is improving; I'm convinced sleep and napping really are Natures way to heal.
Hugs to Sar and the critters; and you for being strong enough to deal with it all.

Thanks Cowboy, updates are very much appreciated. I'm glad Sar is up and moving on her own and resting when necessary. But I am most happy that she is teaching the dogs to annoy you and plotting with her friend. That makes it sound like Sar's back.
Love the image of you holding her and watching it rain - for whatever reason you are doing it.
You are both in my thoughts,
Hugs,
PK
Thanks for the update. That's great she is improving. Teaching the dog to sing and eating mac n cheese for breakfast shows shes beginning to feel her old self.
Continued well wishes and prayers for both of you as she continues to heal and get ready for surgery.
Oh, thanks for keeping us updated. I'm keeping her in my prayers.
Love, sleep, and good food, that's what she needs :-) You two are blessed to have each other.
Cowboy, thanks so much for the update.
You and Sar are in my thoughts and prayers, always.
Teaching the dogs to sing and getting up to mischief is good news.
The thought of you holding her in your arms is very moving.
Please give her a gentle hug and my love.
Love and warm hugs,

Thanks Cowboy, for the update. I am so relieved that she is healing and you are both doing better. As for the dog chorus, I highly recommend ear plugs, or better yet sing along!

thank you cowboy for the update. i'm glad to hear Sar is at least up and moving around a bit. unfortunately these things take time but i know she will be back to herself in no time. my heart and prayers are still with you both.
Well, it's about time you bought her a new laptop! *w* We miss her terribly. Give her back.
In all seriousness, we want Sar healthy and well. Please tell her that her Castle friends are thinking of her and wishing her a speedy recovery.
SarAdora...we love ya, babe. Be strong and sassy.
