I took a long lunch today and visited Suzie in the hospital. She has little to no pain and is doing well. She hasn't had a meal yet. She misses her dogs. She gets to see them tomorrow when she goes home.
Her husband is going on a cruise for work - an oceanography cruise. I think it's about 50 days long. It will give Sue time to settle into her new routine (and have lots of time to play with the five gorgeous dogs).
