Oh dear Krista that sounds awful , you poor girl, I am really glad you are not in so much pain now and feeling somewhat better, and I do hope you will stop by more than just to lurk, you will be sorely missed otherwise, and what a wonderul caring girl you are to try and keep the kitties in safely when you really have little support, good on you and keep on putting your points of view across and showing your parents how responsible you are, i am sure they will appreciate it all in the end and might even learn something valuable from you.
