Well today is the old mans day out after being house bound for the last 14 days since his abscess cleared...while I am still not comfortable leaving him out from am to pm yet we will work on that goal over the next week or so (still freaked out about the thought of flies near the healing cut area and with the neighbors gazillion chucks.s our fly population is higher than it should be along with their two unruly kids) his cut has been allowed to start closing and healing up for about the last week and the bump continues to decrease so all appears to be going well
