Take that 'Roids

After last weeks nip tuck to repair my hemorrhoids, I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better. I've been taking my stool softeners, drinking my Metamucil and drinking buckets of water. I was sore for several days but as of today, I feel like a million bucks. Or, like I did pre-blowout. Apparently this procedure works for 95% of people, I desperately hope I'm not one of those 5% that this doesn't work for in the long run. Oh, and so far, I don't appear to be one of those people that now leaks "fluid" and can't control their gas. There's only so much I can blame on the dog. Lucky Paul!!

Hopefully that will be the end of all chatter about my butt.

Courtney has been working on eating finger foods. It's slow going but she's getting the hang of it. She hasn't quite grasped the pincer grasp, the ability to pick food up with her fingers, so she kind of gets the food into her fist. From there she hasn't gotten the hang of getting it out of her fist and into her mouth. But then, she can't always get the food off of the tray.
