    There are some really good people in the world.

    I got to Western Vet with Cole, checked in with the desk, and sat down to wait. As usual, Catherine (onc tech) came out to greet me and asked how I was. I didn't mean to, but the tears started.

    Long story short - Cole got some of his meds from their "Robin Hood" stash. These are meds from pet patients who have died or who don't need the meds any more. There was some Palladia there!

    Dr Mauldin agreed to stretch Cole's rechecks to every 6 weeks instead of monthly.

    And Catherine got the desk people to do a promissory note. The payment - under $400 - was split in half. I pay the first half when my cheque comes in next week and the second half when my cheque comes in at the end of October.

    This all makes this very do-able.

    What a relief!

    Now to get a bit more income. Have posted on a local FB page about cat sitting and will post the same on Varage Sale.

    Thank you all.

    That's great, Candace! As you said, there are indeed some really good people out there.

    Good idea to put your name out for cat-sitting. I do cat-sitting myself and was going to suggest that. I bet you'd be really good at it.

    Best wishes, and please keep us posted!

    The news gets even better.



    The oncologist just called me to give me Cole's bloodwork results - and to also tell me that someone in their waiting room paid off my bill! I owe ZERO right now!
    OH.MY.GOD. I think I know who it was though I don't know her name. Thank you dear person! I hope your doggie Chuck will be all right.


    I am gobsmacked!

    This is amazing! How wonderful! There are still good people to be found.
    I hope Cole's bloodwork results were good.
