Thanks -- it's really been quite a journey so far. Who knew? And I'm happy to add your pettings to the frequent snuggles he's been getting from me. He eats that stuff up!
I am so grateful that all is going well, and that the docs had the "Good Human-ness" in them to help you out when you really didn't have any viable options.
Please keep us updated on his recovery and what the docs figure out.
In the meantime, your little man will continue to heal and also to heal *you*.
It is amazing what they give, what they teach. Angels in fur suits.
Angels in fur suits for SURE. I used to think he was the most perfect creature on the planet. Now, with his three legs, he's even more perfect.
I really have been extremely lucky with the support -- both financial and otherwise. The docs, tech staff, administrative staff, etc. at the hospital have been extraordinary. So kind, so generous, and they all absolutely adore Clawed. Their collective goodness has helped me immesurably. If only doctors and staff in regular hospitals could do so much. Seriously.
Anyway, there will be updates. And I have pre- and post-op photos I need to post, and will be doing that soon. Yay!
I have been through very similar moments when my Angel Cios had fallen from the 6th floor window, and had to be confined to a cage for A MONTH. The bond we established in those weeks was closer than anything I have had with any human in my life, and the lessons I learned in that period were.. invaluable. I think we, who are given those amazing furchildren in our lives, are very fortunate, even with all the pain and anguish this Love may cost us at times. You both are in my thoughts, and I hope with all my heart that the recovery continues beautifully!
Poor Cios! The poor little thing went through a lot, and I bet you did, too. I do agree, though, about the good fortune we have in having these furbabies in our lives. It's a great comfort to know that there are people out there who understand this, and believe it. So thank you for all your good thoughts -- I'll make sure Clawed gets a special snuggle and kiss from you! BTW -- pre- and post-op pics are soon to come!
Yes, me and Cios have been through a lot. And she is still looking out for me, even after 5 years after her journey over the Rainbow Bridge..for once, when she left, she sent me my very own orange furball, Rossini. (on my old website there is more about all this, if you don't have enough furbaby-emotions in your own life yet..) There will never be another cat like her in my life..but even her physical departure has taught me so many things. I still cry sometimes, missing her, but.. I have HAD her in my life, and that counts more than the pain of having to let her go.
It's funny -- having recorded the story in "print" (and I've left out quite a bit that seemed superfluous) gives me an idea of exactly the scale of things I've been dealing with. It all seems like nothing now that I have my boy back. Well, not exactly nothing, but all the stress and strain seem to have receded significantly.
Anyhoo, thank you for your good wishes. I've also been thinking about your and your friend who was taken ill, and am hoping that everything is better with him/her. So sending the love right back.

But the new place is nice, if small, and when I get a chance, I'll post some pictures. We've got it crammed to the gills but it's comfortable.
Stay calm for your baby! He'll take his cue off of how you react to his new condition.
