Updates on Everyone here...

[Freedom]

You are missed, Laura. Thank you for taking the time to post this update. Sure hope it didn't do you in, start a headache going.

Look at Caramella, a grand lady cat now! Aw . . . loved seeing her with her "baby scale."

And that bed is the purrfect height for the window, at least it seems so from the photos! Love the first cover you had on it, the blue flower pattern with the rose in the center. How nice that Amy can get up on there!

Sorry to read about Lady Boo and the ear / tumor issue. I DO remember you commented once that you thought she was going deaf.

Keeping all of you in my prayers.

Big, big prayers for Kitty Boo and for her meowmie! I missed you!

Aww, sweet Amy... excellent job of finding a new place to sleep! Giz, mmwah I kiss your outstretched paw! and Caramella- you are a lot bigger but definitely no less beau-mew-tiful! Kisses for Samantha too.

I do wear dark glasses and a baseball cap when I go in the stores to help with the light, then I get eye strain because the dark glasses make things to dark to see properly..

I have tried many thing with the computer monitor, on this one I can change the background color to black but the writing is a odd blue color that makes it hard to read...so I get eye strain.. Right now I am trying a sheet of that window darkening stuff just laid across the monitor and it helps but not enough..

The problem is not just with the glare and bright lights but the eyes.. The MAV makes your vision go wacky, in and out, blurry and then good, you never know... I have been to the eye doctor early into all this thinking it was a vision/eye problem and I have seen him twice and it is not my eyes, it is the MAV causing the problems.. The medication will help if and when we can find the right one and the right dose (I hear) but that is trial and error. Found one that worked great with the vision, it only worked for 3 weeks then stopped working..

You wouldn't believe how people stare at a old lady wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses inside the stores and in public places... I hate wearing caps too, never did like wearing hats but you have to do what ever helps... That glare is like a complete system overload and throws everything out of wack so I stagger and bump into walls and stuff... downright funny! Standing still I can get motion sickness of all things... This has been going on since October and seems to be getting worse as time does on. I wouldn't believe any of this if I wasn't living it every day!

Oh, Laura, it's spring - get yourself a great big spring/summer bonnet, and then let 'em stare!

So Laura, you now have two repurposed children beds?
So sorry for your trial.

HUGS! Oh Laura, prayers for the right and great med to be found soon!

And poor dear Boo...are the tumours benign? Is there any kind of laser type procedure that might bring them down in size or remove them?

More prayers for dear Lady Boo.

Laura, I'm sorry to hear that you're still having health problems. Hopefully you'll be able to find the right meds and dose that will help you. I'm also sorry to hear about Boo. Did your vet mention polyps at all? Some cats get them and they can be removed but if you don't get to the root then they usually grow back again. I wonder if pred would help to reduce the inflammation and size of them. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to both of you.

Caramella sure is getting big and she's so pretty. It's so cute that your cats now have their own bed and that they love it so much. Sometimes I wish that I could have my bed all to myself too. Please take care. You are very missed here. (((HUGS)))
