Somebody mentioned my name... yeah, had a lovely shower on Monday. Nearly clogged the drain with dirt and dandruff :). Then a funny thing happened -- the bath lady called later in the day to tell me that "your doctor did not authorize showers, or order them. We can't assist you with showers until the doctor orders them".
Common sense squashed again. If the wound is closed, I can get up 30 minutes at a time, 4 times a day, seems like I could use one of those 30 minute periods for a shower! So this morning I called the doctor, talked to his nurse, asked if indeed I could shower? To which she responded, "well, of course!" So I asked her to fax the "orders" over to the nurse to make it happen next week. So Monday is shower day once again.
Also, and I don't know the schedule yet, physical therapy starts next week. I've been doing some things myself, but need the nagging of the therapist to get it done.
In the meantime, as I type this, Tom Cat is at the local hospital getting a bone density test, and xrays on one knee and his back. He has a compression fracture of his spine.....And the doctor wants to see if it's any worse, to see what to do next. Old age sucks.
I have four cats. My momma cat will take on any challengers and shred them up. Another will want to make new cats his friends. A third will.stuff herself into the nearest dark corner and not come out. The fourth would just lie back and watch the action... maybe I'll just leave them at home... :)

I vote for Cat to bring the sweet treats and wantons, Howie can bring the treats for the 4-legged ones! Looks like we might have the start of a new (summer) leafwatchers gathering! 
Uh huh... the more the merrier!
