Looks like we all have odd weather over the weekend so do take care and keep warm, if possible hibernate the same as Andere and LK. Feel I am hibernating and rather bored. Sorry it will be a no football Dolly but not quite the weather so keep cosy and warm and think of good times to come.big hug for you and soft one for little pussies. Still awaiting news of puss with skin problem. Never remember its name. Do hope O>K> cheers Penny
Hi Penny and everyone, There has been an obstacle to my putting on a breeziness for posting. But it is not about Trixie, because at this time of year both puss and I try to forget about the annual skin hell she goes through - often called harvest mite! In fact June till November is more realistic. My big problem from November onwards (till next June!) has been how she lost trust in me because I constantly tried to administer soothing relief in various forms, which reminds her of the vet (probably) So she kept running away from me when I so wanted to give a big cuddle of reassurance. However she comes to spend some time on the bed since cold nights arrived, and she relaxed in the family's company at Christmas. She also seeks lap-time with me in the days. There is a bond between Trixie and my son-in-law, whereas she didn't 'know' men much!
There was shock news from Ireland where all my (younger) first cousins live. The youngest, Kevin (46) has had a foot amputated. It was a month before Christmas the accident happened but nobody thought to notify me till an email on Christmas morning - of ALL times. He is/was a welder and an iron girder fell on his foot which was too mangled to be saved. I am awaiting updates but know he is out of the hospital in Tullamore, after two ops. His mother is 89 and my other surviving aunt is 95 and had a cardiac arrest on her big birthday. But she has bounced back!
So there are the updates as far as I can tell. My next hosp apptmt is in a week and I might find out what what is, or was,happening with those multiple embolisms. It is said to take at least six months for dispersal. August 1st was the diagnosis but I'd had the breathlessness for many months before. I just feel drained a lot of the time and d'k whether it is caused by the anticoagulant medication.
So Penny, nothing to worry about here - you keep up your improvement and the optimism. Wishing you and everyone a Happy New Year with good health and happiness.
