wow!
I read this completely thru first to last post but first let me say - THANK GOD YOU WERE WHERE YOU WERE!!! holy crap! I hope you are feeling better now.
I have enjoyed your 'tails' of your furkids.
It seems to me that you have had some hard lessons and a lot of heartache, over the years with learning the importance vet care, for that I'm sorry you had to learn those lessons. But in the same respect you had a pretty scary lesson with your own health recently as well! Please take care and keep the stories coming!
