Hi, Karyn,
So glad to hear that Met's surgery went well and that he will be home with
you again soon. I know you will feel better just having him back home where
you can keep an ear and a hand on him to monitor his recovery. That's great
that he will be able to go for a walk outdoors so soon.
Our thoughts will continue to be with you and Met for a smooth and speedy
recovery. I hope you both can finally enjoy getting out again to savour the
lovely spring weather before the summer heat appears.
Give us a progress report when you can, but also try to relax and get some
rest.
Ann
