But when we counted back on the calendar to his last depo shot, we should know something about whether or not this laser treatment has worked by the end of this week or the beginning of next. The depo shots usually hold him for about three weeks and that will coincide with this weekend. If he breaks out again after that point, it will have all been in vain..........but I have hope. However, I am concerned about the lump that he has up on his neck between his shoulder blades. The vet found it just before his last depo shot and told us to watch it. It's not getting any bigger but it hasn't gone away either. We may end up having to have it removed. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Oh, Denise, I feel for you. It sounds like your hospital adventure was another example of "hurry up and wait." And I HATE that with a passion. Oh, sure, as I've gotten older, I've learned patience but that doesn't mean I do well with it. And your headaches! Are they in some way medication related or are they stress ones? Either way, I so wish you could get rid of those darn headaches so you'd feel better. But Molly's not helping, is she? And mentioning the heat? Oh, yeah. I was watering yesterday and ended up wet, drained and feeling sick to my stomach. It's like walking into a blast furnace. As for my kids, everybody's doing fine. Thank you for asking. I've checked Cricket's mouth again and after the first time, when it just looked black and burnt, it's now pink and healthy looking." on 5:31:55 am, Tue, 08/14/07

Snowy and Cricket turned 4 on Saturday (the same day as Gerry's Dad's birthday) and I just think that this poor cat has sure been through the wringer in his short 4 years. But we keep plugging away with him because we're not the type to just give up. We'll keep working with him until there's nothing further left to try and even then, I'll keep looking. On the other hand, Emme is doing fine, as long as I don't let her eat too much at any given sitting. She just wants to pig out and I not-fo-fondly refer to her as our "binge and purge" kitty. She's just so darn cute, though, so you really can't get upset with her. I often wonder if her beginnings in life somehow included not enough food and that's why she's so afraid that she has to eat everything in sight when the food bowl appears.

At least the people in my life are healthy and doing fine. I sure hope your Mom is doing okay and you're not overstressing over being with her and keeping up with her housework, etc. And I do hope you're feeling better today. I'm pretty much housebound too but it doesn't bother me that much. I'd rather be housebound than to go out in this heat and humidity. We hit 100 again yesterday (according to the weather service) whereas our thermometers said 104. Pretty miserable but this too shall pass and before we know it, it will be fall.............crisp days, chilly nights and the wonderful changing of the leaves.
