Last one, finally gone

I thought about it all morning, the pain the bandage caused me the other day when I pulled it off was not an enjoyable experience at all. But, this other one HAD to come off sometime, and this time I thought maybe I'd start from the paw and work my way up. By the time I worked up the courage to chew off the bandage, I had already licked the whole bottom area clean. What an unbearable taste! It simply HAD to come off though, I just had to rip away at it slowly.

Mommy saw that I was working on removing the bandage and came out with the shiny object to help me nip at it one bite at a time. I was very surprised to find that this bandage was not stuck to my paw and did not hurt me at all to remove it! I was right! It was better to start from the paw side first!

I cleaned my paw very well for the next few hours, off and on. It was so nice to see both my paws again! No more icky yellow bandages! I've also noticed the hair around my tummy line has started growing back, and the red line is now a light pink and shorter than before. Finally, things are starting to get back to normal again!

I haven't yet worked up the courage to play with my toys again. I don't really feel up to it much, these stiff hairs between my paws are too distracting and every time I swipe at a toy I stop myself to nibble at the itching between my toes. At least I can walk normally again though!

Now that both bandages are off I can see why mommy chose the soft shredded papers for my litter box. Everything is just so sensitive I can't seem to walk on anything but soft stuff. So I make my trail through the house over pillows, or carpet, as much as I can. In fact, I've never loved the rug in front of my food bowl more than I do now!
