My Poor Jimney Cricket

Sorry I have been MIA.  This past week was absolutely nutso.  BFE and Jimney Cricket were both in the hospital!  BFE, I knew would be in the hospital, but was not expecting Jimney to be in there and during the same week as her.  He was admitted on Monday for a collapsed lung!  Crazy!  And I thought it was just gas, opps, my bad.  She was in the hospital to remove a tumor from her brain!  Again, crazy.  Thankfully, both are doing so much better and both are at home and resting (well BFE is resting, Jimney is up and at 'em).  Seriously though, these two are my better halves (or would that be thirds?), and I don't know what I would do without either of them.  It was such a long, stressful week, but I am so glad that both are well again.

Here are some pics of Jimney:

After his surgery in the ER.  He had to have a chest tube inserted to suck out the air in his lung cavity and to inflate his lung.  He said the chest tube going in was extremely painful, and he didn't once scream or cry out.  What a trooper!

All smiles!  I think he's heavily medicated at this point.

I had to saran wrap him so he could take a shower.  He wasn't allowed to get the wound wet right away.

Here's the side view.
