What everyone is saying for both ita and sarameg.
Kitty~ma for Mister Kitty!
IcompletelyON, if anyone is interested, I have a few updated pictures for my progress:
Me one week post-surgery, around 35 pounds lost
Me on Super Bowl Sunday, 2 1/2 months post-surgery and 90 pounds lost
Side view on Super Bowl Sunday.
Me today, nearly 5 months post-surgery and 143 pounds lost.
Kathy, that is amazing! Go you!
Aww, Kathy, you're looking fantastic! I'm so happy for you!
Wow, Kathy, you look great!
Thanks, y'all!!
I just realized that I seem to be having my update photos taken every 55 pounds lost. That's been the distance between these first three sets, and I won't have another set of pics taken until my brother's wedding at the end of August, when I'm hoping to be down about another 55 pounds! (I'm figuring that the weightloss will start slowing down in a month or so, going from 5 pounds/week to 3-4.)
Kathy, awesome!
Thanks for the MK wishes. I know it seems goofy for this ancient of a cat in his condition, but my thing is if it is easily treatable, why not. If I'd been told organ failure or cancer or he'd not get back to normal, it would hurt but I'd head straight to Youth In Asia (as I heard it for so long.) If my old man can stay normal and happy after a day of treatment for timeline unknown, well, fuck my credit card.
Believe me, when today I thought it was a stroke, I was ready to let him go. Only the slight perkiness after sugar and utterly awfulness of MK confused( yeah, I couldn't deal with that) drove me to the vet, where I was expecting the worst.
I came uncomfortably close to letting him to die from something fixable today. Can't think about it too much.
sarameg, no, you were ready to do the best thing for him if he needed it. That's ok.
You expected it would be unfixable because he's an old kitty, declining. It might not be. It's ok.
Oh, cereal, but I gotta go. Kathy, you look great! The thing I notice most about your face is that you look so happy.
Go you, Kathy!
Oh, Kathy, that's downright amazing. Go you!
sarameg, here's hoping for the old man.
Apropos of nothing, hockey is killing me dead. I always want a blood pressure cuff so I can take it, say, during minute ten of overtime of a playoff elimination game. I don't think this level of self-induced stress is healthy for me. Anyway, go Blackhawks!
