Well, as you could see from the previous post, we've had a rough week. Friday afternoon we took our sweet cat to the vet to put him to sleep. It was awful, but it was time...and, in fact, the cat seemed to be ready his end: for the first time ever, he willingly climbed into his cat carrier when it was placed before him. Still, we weren't ready for the end and Kirk, Dani, and I had a tough time getting through that afternoon and evening. We're doing okay at this point and it, of course, gets easier every day, but we're still having moments of real sadness and loss when we look up at something in the house and expect to see our little buddy at one of his usual spots. :(
The good news has been on the health front. My abscess appears to be healing well (finally), which means that -- with the infection cleared -- I have to go 4 weeks before I can start back on my chemotherapy (Avastin), which is critical to getting my tumor to continue receding.
Meanwhile, I'm working hard to improve my overall health and physical conditioning -- Kirk and I try to walk every day, even if only for 15 minutes, although most days I'm walking 45 minutes and up to 1-1/2 miles and trying to increase those numbers as much as possible.
So that's the current update. More news as we get it.
Love you,

Rough week is right, sorry to hear about your kitty it really is a heart breaking experience.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are walking and moving around- important to do.
I read all your posts (I check everyday) but often don't respond cuz I just don't know what to say, how does one know how to respond appropriately in such a foreign situation? Anyway I am saying the heck with that (ok I didn't really say "heck") I figure you will forgive me any faux pas and know my heart is in the right place. So...hey Babe you are on my mind.
Our 4 legged family members mean the world to us. They give us such joy. Sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteAB,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your kitty. Perhaps some good news about raising money to fight cancer will help. Our school raised over $19,000 to contribute to our community total of $167,000. It was a great event, and I sent love and prayers to you all day and night. You are really sounding good inspite of all your tribulations. I think of you and your family every day. Love and Hugs Diane and Tim
