My Announcement

 Mommy is asking me tell everyone on both of  our bloggies.  So here I am, the most earnest you have effur seen me.  I mean every word.  

Mommy said she seems over the sciatica after about 6 weeks of wrenching nerve pain.  No more complaining!  Yes...really.  She went to a therapist who is employed where all of the therapists have Doctorates in therapy! With all those years spent earning the Doctorate, they sure know their business; and that in turn helps all of us in terrible pain.  I know she is a good patient because she does exactly what he advises her to do and as many time as he says.  He had her do the first thing he prescribed the first day she was there in horrible pain... every 90 waking minutes and still wants that done.   She still has muscle pain, but she can grit her fangs and bear it she said and....she lets me on her chest at night for awhile!  

XXOO Hiss Boom Bah.

My Throne...

 I let mommy get onto my throne the past several days...I helped her stay on it by getting onto her lap immediately.  

My furs are rumpled by my baff 

I am sound asleep..my eyes closed. 

Mom never lets me being asleep stop her from smooching the fur off me every chance she gets! But, I return that  right back to her every morning~ when I want her awake and out of bed to feed me. 

NO One Gets the Best of ME! Signed: Katie

I'm layin on your BACK!  Eat THAT! 

Your butt is my pillow!  HA! 

 I showed HIM he isn't the boss of me a few minutes ago!  Au Contraire! 

My Gosh...Why ME!

 Kitties!  LOOK at this from several angles.  Now...I was just going to have a nice nap on the suede blankie.  I jumped up to do that very thing.  LOOK WHO IS UP HERE!!!

I told him he didn't scare ME!  He could guard the pillows till the woofies came home.  Didn't make any diff to me.  So...I went straight to sleep! 

Meowy Monday

 Kitties!  I am doing fine far as I know.  Mom gets her second therapy tomorrow and two following that this week.  We hope she can clean the TUB for pity sake.  

Me and Nellie Bellie went out nip hopping last night and had us a good time.  Kozmo joined us after we texted him.  Nellie Bellie's phone is on Bridge time so it took Kozmo a bit of time to get there but he did!  

This was me later after I got home.  I needed to recharge.  I was feeling a bit loosey -goosey after all those nip cocktails. 

This 'n' That

Kitties!  Look at the magnetic seal on this car at the doctor's office parking lot.  If you can't read it as it is small, it says "One cat away from being the crazy cat lady".  Mom and I love it.  If mom ever found it, she would proudly display it on our car as well.    Mom hurt too much to get out of the car to take the picture, but you can maybe make it out.

Another thing.  Mom was just dropped off to sleep after I rudely left her (she didn't want me on her stomach or chest..so...fine!  I'll leave!!!  But she heard something, a thump tht was loud enough to wake her.   And wondered what it was.  She was too hurty to get up, so she laid there and fell back asleep.  This morning when she went in to the spare room to open the mini blinds...she got her frst smile of the day!  I was at it again.  I turned over the trash and messed with the paper in it!  I may have part dog in me...who knows!  I do this when I am feeling good!   I see mom already uprighted one small one before she took this picture!  My prowess ramains here to be seen by the CB!  

I did come back with her; and I brought Floppy Mousie and Donkey with me.  L-O-U-D announcements. 

pee ess:  Mom got her first REAL PT yesterday and what a wonderful therapist and place.  She said she has hope now. 

Happy Tuesday

 Kitties!  Mom said she fially took advice and went to a chiropractor yesterday.  She was stove in quite a bit, so he could only do what could be done with her sitting only.  So her back got that hammer -like instrument whatever it is,  to set things right with her spine.  After several hours  back home some small mobility was added to her for which she was grateful.  Pain was bad instead of beyond terrible.  She starts PT today...may it go well.  The trial one last Wednesday liked to have killed her she said.  She's a drama queen if you ask me. 

Guess what?  A dear friend of hers sent some pictures of a probably female fox that came into their yard, so he commenced feeding her.  They are poor pics in that he had to take them thru the screen and...they are blurry.  Mom put them in FB.  You can see the bushed tail if you look hard, and her long chocolate stockings are visible.  

Mom feels terrible, so she said no more dictation.  XX  If she doesn't come to see you for a little while...she IS reading what you have meowed or barked.  Just can't bear to sit and type. 

Day by Day

Kitties! Mom is still in a bad way re: sciatica.  Will it ever end?  Yes, but it's taking its time. 

MOM:  They will see me at therapy today, but no treatment  Just paperwork.  I'll be lucky to have treatment by next week.  Meanwhile pain is bad-and who knows when the first treatment will happen.  Dr. refuses more pain relief, so, on my own over doing it on tylenol.  Doesn't help much but it's the thought....

My dear friend Mary Roever and her cat ---Mariodacat ---are much in my mind.  Mary passed the same day that Paula did.   Mario is living with her daughter and son-in-law.  He must be about 16 at least, by now.

Mary and I were close.  Amazingly so, considering we hadn't met.  I had plans to fly there however.  She called me each day for years, for several hours at a time.  And I will tell you, she was the one to comfort me when Admiral had to make her last trip to the Vet.  I was beside myself and wanting to keep her home.  Mary made me see the selfishness of that and gently let me know it was already past time as my baby was suffering.  She talked non stop to me for several hours before I left...while I got ready...when I took Admiral to the car, and every inch of the way to the vet.  We were both crying every second of that terrible day.  She was there to comfort me and hold my hand so to speak, when I had no one who would go with me.   Family couldn't, and friends wouldn't, saying it was "too sad".  I will never do that to anyone should they ask for me to be with them.  Never.  She called me the minute I got home from that horrible trip and until one of my boys made it to the house.  She comforted me when I agonized over waiting.  

Turned out we were in the same town in Florida at the same time..and she worked as a secretary in the same building that my then husband worked in.  That's when our friendship started.  Who knew until  she got Mario's blog started, and she mentoned Palm Bay.  That made ME write her.   We taked on the phone.  She knew all the places I mentioned and generally where I had lived.  D, (Don, her husband) was in he Army and she was there waiting for him to muster out.  We all became fast friends.  

This is a memorial in its way, to Mary Roever.  I will miss you dear dear friend.  I didn't get to talk to you the past several years because you weren't able.  But I remembered and remember,  you always. 

Katie and I send our love, as we  always do.

 

Mom, Are You Still There?

 Mom said and I agree that since that last v-e-t visit I have been extremely clingy  Mom took 4 pictures  in a row besides this one, and I had my paw on her in a different area of her leg each time.  I have to know she's there.   

I couldn't tell Mom why I was so extra extra nervous and fearful.  I have never been like that and Mom could not see a reason for it.

I have quit sleeping on her head though in the past several days.  What with her sciatica, she couldn't bear it.  I knew it. She'll start physical therapy for help with the sciatica on Thursday. 

Mom better get her baff done or I'll have to help!  See ya tomorrow.  

Mom and I are joining The Cat on our Head again for Selfie Sunday.
