9 days! That's awesome! Huge progress. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow for me. I actually stopped counting some days back and just looked it up in my calendar (I know it stopped after I spoke to the MC on the phone). And I've had a lot of interaction with H. Soon you will be there, too! So happy for you!
Laughing is great - so healthy on all levels. I've been laughing a lot with my son but until a couple of weeks ago, I had this sadness through my entire body that is just gone now. You know, I don't think it will come back. I think we can trust that if it does, it may be a little wave just lapping at our feet, not an over-the-head surge that leaves us drenched and gasping for air.
Retail therapy is great. And the chicken story is hilarious - it would have been in a kennel on a clear jello diet for 48 hours if it were my bird! They can be very fast - it makes complete sense to me that they descend from dinosaurs (raptors, I'm sure) and that the dinosaurs had wings (have you read about that?).
