Yeah. He's my hero.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, at least this gives me time to watch Season Two of The Wire, which my mom gave us for Christmas.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Robin, I'm glad you have your answer and things can happen quickly from here -- the recovery thing sucks, but aside from that, everyone I've known who's been through the same thing was very happy for the relief in the end.

Robin... Ick about the surgery and yeah, 6 weeks is probably what it will take. My BFF had the same procedure, for the same reason, you're having and she was down for the count for a good month and it took about 2 more weeks to get back to 100%. That said, she's so glad that she had it done just from a pain standpoint. For that alone she said the surgery was worth it.

The important thing is that Scrappy gets all patched up and healthy and pain-free.
We should probably inundate you with treats just so its clear that we love you we're concerned about you and don't want you to be bored.

Punishingly Intricate
What everybody else said, Robin. Sorry you can't have the easier procedure but it's good you have a course of action now and can get on the road to being free of the pain soon.

We can call it "squab" if you prefer
Except I know what squab is.
I'm flashing on the Monty Python box of chocolates sketch and thinking of John Cleese liltingly describing the "lightly killed" frogs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
