1-18-10 & 1-19-10 Trouble Sleeping, Itching, but healing. Still hasn’t started chemo

Hello, it seems like Hero has made it through the toughest part of his recovery from surgery.  He just has issues sleeping at night.  He walks back and forth and scrapes his E Collar along the wall, on our bed,  wherever he can.  His goal is simple – he wants to get it off so he can get to his stiches.  I feel bad for the poor boy.   We have been putting neosporin on the incision to try and help.  We still haven’t started him on any chemotherapy though.   That is mostly because I’m too busy with work, but also to give him time to rest and heal from the surgery first.
