I’ve gotten bunches of requests for pictures of Ramona. I’ve been hesitant because Ramona has been looking like something out of Naked Lunch for a few days. She’s a narcotics junky. But this morning she seemed pretty with it, so here you go…

I am shocked. At just four days post-op, we are being sent to the cardiac floor. This is great news and means Ramona might be just days away from coming home with us.
