While I know that all of my LJ posts have been very "and then I had no brain" I must report that the having-brain progress, while hopefully trending in a better direction, is not great

It's been sore but not enough to justify vicodin. I've been doing a bad job of taking ibuprofen for it as I keep forgetting to sync it up with meals and then it's been too long and I won't be able to take it at night, even though the ibuprofen actually reduces the swelling so makes it heal faster. Oops! The hardest part other than the drilling (which I don't like for aesthetic reasons) was that they take x-rays to calibrate it throughout and I have a small mouth so the films are a big mouthful.
I'm so glad about Chance too. Although he's a handful on walks and he needs a lot of walks, we're trying to turn that into lemonade as Brad needs lots of exercise too. (Well so do I but I can only do so much.) Chance unlike our other dogs is so purposeful/speedy on walks that it's possible to get a good brisk walk with him. So Brad gets one or two exercise walks a day in addition to the often slower walk I do with them. (He was actually more hyper on his second walk today, not sure why.) And he's generally a doll around the house; I spend a fair amount of the day just snuggling him, which gets me out of bed and counts vaguely as exercise in its own right. I have a migraine today and got up and stumbled around and he came over and leaned on me like "let me help you feel better. Petting me will make you feel better!"
