Christina! First, your sweet puppies are too cute. Additionally, I hope you continue to feel better each day, even during the flare-ups. I hope they don't last as long, and you are still able to find joy in the moments you are mobile and can get outside for some fresh air and a walk. But seriously, you are amazing! SO many things you wrote about your procedure are intense, the body is wild!

Gosh Christina, you are going through a LOT! Thank you for sharing--and even making it funny! Warm wishes for future healing.

Oh Christina, what a battle! I continue to be amazed at your lucid and immensely entertaining descriptions! And still feel oddly guilty that this all started here in the UK!

OMG, you're such a badass. Sending you and Andy and those pups lots of love and butt scratches.

I’ve been waiting to hear how you’re doing. How can you go through all this and make it hilarious!? What a challenge! I can just see Andy’s mute reactions to the doc’s responses! You are both proving yourselves valiant in this marathon.

You clearly need to add a cat to your household. (Just don't mistake it for a skunk ...)

🤣 We’ve thought about it, esp because the old house comes with lots of field-mouse friendly entrance points! But I hate litter boxes and everything to do with them soooooo much that we haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Oh man. Thinking of you. I can barely tolerate a 3 day headache, never mind a 10 day migraine.

No headache is fun!
