no, not relief, recovery and reform – that’s something completely different.

after his latest ( and hopefully last ) surgery odin is getting lots of rest, relaxation and recovery. and meds mixed with milk in a bottle.

he likes showing off his rather impressive skills at feeding himself. you can almost see him saying with his eyes, “keep your hands off my bottle pops, i can do this all by myself – thank you very much anyways.”

well the the three r’s must be working some sort of magic because after many vain attempts to get him interested in solids, he finally decided that, yes, a hunk of banana in his mesh feeder was quite delicious.

he savored every last bit. well, almost every last bit. the bits that weren’t savored were smeared from head to toe.

you’ll notice he’s in a state of undress. in addition to being unseasonably warm today ( 80 degrees fahrenheit/ 27 degrees celcius ), he’s also running a low grade fever ( 99-100 degrees fahrenheit ) and has let us know that today is a clothing optional day.

although not a concern at this point, the fever doesn’t seem to succumb to the medicinal powers of tylenol with codeine and if it persists for another day, then it could become a cause for concern. but for now, we’re not going to get too worked up about it.
