More scratches

Today while I was out and Dave was working, TJ was doing his typical sleep routine. He was being very quiet, and didn't have the cone on. And ... he scratched the left side of his neck just like he did the right side. We'd decided that as painful as it is, we just cannot trust him without the cone unless we are right there next to him.

This morning there was a lot of stuff in one of his ears that I cleaned out, and he doesn't seem to be shaking his head nearly as much. Even though he's miserable, he still has his moments when he looks at us with a big smile on his face, which is probably the only thing that makes this bearable! I can't remember being so tired and emotionally drained... I really hope that this works and he is better soon!
