I have a walker now

[catmandu]

Thank You to all who have sent such good wishes.
Tahnk You especially katladyd in telling me about your brother in law who is actually doing better now. 'I have a mobile walker with four wheels and a basket.
Of course the basket every morning is occupied by Scrapster , for some reason he lovesit.
This walker does make things easier as I do not have to carry heavy cases of Cat Food!!!

And Freedom we have 7 Found Cats plus Two I have TNRED.
They are staying close to home because of the ice and snow , I pray that they will stay in our double back yard.
Thank You again for all your prayers and good wishes I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate them.

Gary, her husband always had some tremors, but was fine with his mobility. He has a neurological disorder similar to Parkinsons, only his onset was in childhood sometime (I don't know the entire story). Anyway, Parkinson's and other disorders like it are progressive, they get worse over time. The meds help with the symptoms and slow the progression down quite a bit. When he was in his late 30s, he slipped and fell on some ice on the sidewalk and broke his hip. So now, between his disorder and his hip, he has a pronounced limp and a cane. But he is around your age and still doesn't need a walker. I hope your doctor can help restore much of your mobility but allow you to keep the walker (for the cat food hauls!)

Prayers on the way for you from me too, Gary. Not being able to take care of my cat kids is the one big fear I have so I know how you feel. The worse my arthritis gets and the less mobile I am the more I worry about them.

Saying prayers for you, Gary. I hope that this is only a temporary setback for you.

My Dear Mother installed in me not only the love of Ctas , but the fact taht things would not always go smoothly!!
WE sometimes have to carry on regardless, and when you have lemons you make lemonade.
Actually this walker makes things a bit easier and I have the pleasure of seeing Josephine and her amazing leaps!!!
I have the feeling taht her targets are not all that angry with thier Little Cat Companion

Thank you for that quote. Gary. I really needed it right now. I keep seeing phrases like that all over.

Cheers to making and drinking lemonade!

Gary, God bless your dear Mother, your Case Worker, and your Angels.. They are all blessings in your life, as you are in the lives of so many Pet Talkers and pets!

Sorry to hear you are having health problems Gary. I will put you on my prayer list and will sure send up very special prayers for the founder of the Found Cats Hotel. I will ask all the Angels to keep a watch over you also.

I feel for you, Gary. I have a pinched nerve in my spine and figure I'll be in a scooter or power chair within 10 years. How to take care of the furkids is my big worry, too. Best of luck with your test; I will say a prayer for you.

My Awesome Found Cat Hotel Angels are looking out for me as I am getting for 100 dollars a Deluxe New Walker from Dells Home Care!!
As I have health issues I only pay a portion of the cost.
My Case Worker Miranda who loves the Found Hotel Cats and they her say that it is a lighter weight, with a padded seat , ball bearing wheels and the stop cables are hidden, and the shopping basket is better.
I know taht My Angels, especially My Dear Mother are looking out for me.
I feel good that I am not alone

"when life gives you lemons, make lemonade...and find someone who life gave vodka, and have a party!" Ron White. You have a great attitude, Gary. I wonder how many cats will find that the seat of your walker makes a great cat bed!
