Tiki looks so cute. It is wonderful you are providing a loving home to her. You will always be there for her.
This is my at Winston. He is quite sensitive and clingy. I also hope I can be there for him for a few more years.
Agreed, you should not any fear of competition from them young ones for Ellie
Good day
I was at the hospital from 9:30’until 14:30. Not too bad , had 1 hour counselling and 1 hour reflexology too at the same time. It makes the whole thing not so tedious.
I asked re my shooting pain. They think is chemo related nerve pain. So they prescribed amitriptyline 10mg per day to try out. But the doctor wrote the dose as 20mg. Good I spotted it or maybe not! Hopefully it will suppress the nerve down a bit.
How is your day Ellie?
Thank you everyone for all your well wishes.
Lee still rooting for you

Hi Lex, I'm not surprised Tiki is doing so well, with you to love and care for her, Misty, was tiny she never weighed more than 2kg, we got her as a kitten with her brother, who was polydactyl and huge, he weighed 8kg, and was called Spider by the kids, and though he lived to 18yo, he never grew up.
That is so sad how she came to you, but you did a wonderful thing and a great job, giving her a good life, and no doubt you have benefited greatly from sharing your life with her too, please don't apologise, I know how important our furry friends are to us and as an animal lover, I'm happy to talk about them anytime, as I know a few others on the forum are as well, this is Spider the day we got him. Huge feet

Hi Stella, good to hear your chemotherapy went smoothly, and well done spotting the dosage error, always wise to check your prescriptions first and I hope they help you my friend,, I love a massage, and have counselling, but never at the same time, I'm not sure my counsellor would want to talk to me while I'm lying face down, getting my back rubbed.

Hi Stella, When I saw your photo at first, I thought you had named your Christmas tree Winston! Then I looked again and saw your cat!
If you have never had Amitriptyline before please be aware it can make you zombie-like, even a small amount, so please beware. I just didn’t like the feeling it gave me, as if I was living through a dream! Just as well you noticed the dosage, you could have gone to the moon and back! At least if you can tolerate it, you will get a good sleep!
Love Annette x
A very good morning to everyone still so sad to read that so many are going through such difficult times. I sincerely wish that better days are on the way for everyone. Cancer can be soul destroying. Hopefully the sun will come out today. xx
