Thank you everyone! I wish I had you all as neighbors, so I wouldn't have to worry about my girls! I know you'd take good care of them!

Randi, there IS actually such a group (at least something similar to that) that was recently founded in my hometown, and I was already thinking about attending one of their meetings (the next one is next Friday, I think). It's a bunch of cat loving people and the idea is to make friends and to help out in cases like this. But of course I've got to get to know them first before I would entrust my precious girls with any of them, and that would take a while. I hope I'm not running out of time now...

Mary, if I could be sure that only one session helps, it may be worth a try. But I guess I'd better have that MRI first. When the pain's really coming from a herniated disk, there should something be done about that. But in case they cannot find out the cause for the Sciatica, acupuncture may be an option.
