I don't if it's just not his year, or if maybe Life is clearing the way for him to have a really excellent fall, but poor Bear has lost most of his spring to ailment and injury. First was his knee surgery on February 23rd, which we thought would put him out of work for a month - turns out that his knee was worse than they thought, so one month might be as many as three. He's been keeping himself busy, though, so it wasn't as bad as it could be.
But then last Monday Bear underwent surgery to remove his gallbladder. He'd been having pain for years, but all of his tests kept coming back negative. He had no stones, it functioned within normal parameters, he didn't have full on attacks like some people did, so the doc wasn't certain that removing the gallbladder would end the pain Bear was in.
When I met with the surgeon after the surgery, however, I was informed that the gallbladder was in fact bad (filled with cholesterol deposits and covered with adhesions, where his body had literally wrapped around it to protect itself). We both breathed a sigh of relief, happy that this was the cause of all of his pain.
What we weren't prepared for, especially after the ease of his knee surgery, was Bear's pain post gallbladder removal. The poor thing has been laid out all week with pain, tenderness, and some remarkable bruising. He's beginning the upswing now, but it's obvious to those that know him that he is not himself.
I hope that this is the last of his medical problems for a while, that he is able to heal and get some life back in his days. Warm weather is coming, and with it our favorite time of year. I just hope he'll be able to enjoy it.

Poor guy. Luckily, he's in the best hands. In another week, the pain will be a distant memory.

Well, I remember a particular scene in a fashion week, the women who were at the front row were unable to find seats and she only standed by the railing. Behind her, I saw her iPhone slide out of the pockets a little bit because of the problem of her standing position, then I came up with a question that is Chanel Mobile Bags Will Replace Chanel Mobile Bag Will Replace Chanel Clutches?? Completely at the moment of Chanel Lambskin 2010 New Flap Bag(Fuschia), louis vuitton mahina, I gently patted the neverfull on the shoulder, reminding her naughty phone back to the pocket. But at the moment when she turned back, I was shocked to see her hand still holding a louis vuitton neverfull pm.
