In the morning, Pete will be having a kidney biopsy to check up on how things are going in there. It’s a fairly minor procedure. We have to be at the hospital at 6 am, the procedure starts at 8, he’s in recovery at 9, and we have to hang out there for a few hours so they can make sure that there’s no internal bleeding or anything like that. Even though I’m sure it will be fine, I’m more worried about how the anesthesiais going to affect him after. My dear husband thinks he’ll be attending a study session that night because he “felt fine after the last biopsy” ten years ago. I just don’t want him throwing up everywhere and feeling all nauseous and gross and in pain. I’m working from home afterwards (what kind of hospital doesn’t have wifi?!) tomorrow, and tentatively on Thursday depending on how he’s really feeling.<\/p>\n

To detract from that serious bit of news, here is a picture of a kitty who got a little confused about his footwear.<\/p>\n
