It has been a roller coaster week. From great health news, to the loss of our beloved Dan The Cat Man, to bitter cold here in Texas.
OK so I had my IVC filter out and I had my first meeting with my surgeon. The removal of the filter was harsh compared to inserting it, but since it had a clot in it, it was a great thing I went through all of that. Precautions are sometimes more scary than routine items in our lives, but necessary to protect us from ourselves. My meeting with my surgeon was great too. I lost 28 pounds before surgery and now 20 lbs since surgery and that was 2 weeks. It isnt easy to follow all of the rules, but I can tell you your tummy will rebel if you do not treat it right!!! I tried some scrambled eggs this morning and before I could get about 1/2 of it down I realized I ate too fast, and my pup Lexy got to finish it off. There is a wonderful system built in to stop you from being stupid...LOL!!!
Dan The Cat Man....what can I say? Our hearts are broken and we miss him so much every day. He was Ed's best buddy ever and it was tough for him to make a decision about the quality of his life. He had lost function of his potty needs and he was just miserable. His little eyes were always glazed over and his 3rd eyelid seemed to be rising and not receding as it should. He crossed over the rainbow bridge on Jan 6th, 2010 at the age of 22 or 23 (we were never sure exactly how old he was). Rest in Peace my beloved friend. Five short years were great to share with you. I want you to remember we DID NOT LEAVE YOU BEHIND when we moved. (Like Norma did!) I hope you found Charlie, as I know he was your best buddy before we met you. Now both of you can play in the sun pain free and cancer free. We love you Cat Man!!!
The same day we lost Dan, we found a feral cat in our back yard dead. We don't know what happened to him, but fear it may have been weather or illness. We guess he was the daddy to our two boys Gizmo & Two. Rest in Peace yard kitty we are sorry your time here is over.
Now to the cold. I know it is winter & I am not complaining, but this is coldddddddd! Since my hormones are changing and since my surgery, I cannot warm up!! I have on 3 prs of socks today and house shoes!!!
I hope all of you are warm and safe in the arms of our Lord and that serenity surrounds your heart.
Be Blessed & be well!!!

I am so sorry to hear about losing your fur baby. It's crushing, I know as I have had cats since I can remember. Sounds like he had a very good home (after rescue) and will be missed. I'm sure the others will miss him as well. Good luck with your health. Sounds like you are doing great. Take your time, we'll still be here :)
So sorry about Dan. I know it's a hard choice to make. I still miss my Alpha, 5 years later, I still catch myself crying for him. I have a cat named Gizmo too. He is and will be my last cat. I don't think I could go through losing another one. Something in this area is not good to cats. They all get sick with the same symptoms. Glad to hear you are well otherwise and great job on your weight loss.
