Sorry for the pain Patti, I hope it feels better quickly. I had something similar happen to me when I had a carotid artery test or some type of cardio test (not an echo), when they did my upper stomach area they pressed so hard into my ribs, my ribs were killing me for many months, it was painful to even breathe.
Hi Everyone;
Vicki thanks for thinking of me. If I failed to wish you A Happy Mother's Day I am now everyone!! Tipper did not sleep well. It was the clearing of the throat and sticking her tongue out every 15 minutes it seemed like. When she got up this morning she had a big blob of mucous in her one eye. These drops were supposed to stop that, but maybe need time to work. It seems the Benadryl is not really helping now either. She is better in the day when she is not laying down a with most people that suffer from this. It was cool here this morning with light frost on the ground. It is to be cooler next week in the upper 50's and 60's. That will be ideal for Tipper. I talked to Delora last nite. She was very mixed up and for some reason not hearing things, worse than usual as she is hard of hearing to begin with. She sounded really bad, not like herself, and weak. A lady called me out of the blue yesterday from over an hour away and asked about Delora's cat. I made arrangements to take her to the ladies house next Wednesday. Her cat passed away and she is a senior so that is what this cat is used to. I went thru all the question with her. She is a lovely person. So I called my neighbor and he was happy I found the cat a home. I was a little annoyed at how happy he was. I can't get over his not taking to her after all this time, and it just kind of bugs me. If you were not an animal person I guess it would not bother you. So she will be gone too, and I am sad for her as I am used to seeing her on a daily basis. I have to run over and clean her litter box all the time as he will not do it!!!. It looks like a nice day as we have already walked and Tipper liked the cool air. My cats are enjoying being allowed in my office once again! Blessings

Hi Patti, I was just checking in to how you and Tipper were doing. I hate hearing you aren't feeling well. I know that feeling! I broke a rib myself and could get any pain relief and......finally I had to go to a pain clinic as well. It did rain all day here yesterday, but for some reason the storms never bothered Eli...but the little tinkle of a piece of kibble on his food dish will send him right out of the room! I too hated so much to hear about Squirt. It's always so sad.
Hi Everyone:
Hope you all had a nice Mother's Day. Tipper gave me my special present today she came out on the front porch for 15minutes. I was so happy for her, she was smelling all the porch furniture, and making sure no critters were under the furniture covers! I hope she sleeps better tonite although I saw where we are to get thunderstorms in the middle of the nite. Just great as I can't give her these herbs before she goes to bed as they do not last long. I hope it goes around us somehow. I cannot believe tomorrow I have to get up at 4AM to go to Pittsburgh. I hate the thoughts of another 5 hours in the car. I am going to my best friends grave after the Dr. if I can locate it, then home. Today was beautiful and not humid with a good breeze. Blessings
Patti

Good luck tomorrow Patti. Drive safe.
We're suppose to get thunderstorms here too tomorrow.

Hi Everyone:
It is black here and supposed to get thunderstorms any time. I think I jumped the gun and gave the meds to early. That is the problem with this method, you can't always get it right. Tipper was restless last nite and up and down as it rained a bit and some real low thunder in a distance. She has already walked once, so we got that over with before it starts. I called Delora for Mothers Day. Surprise that rotten son of hers did show up! I am having a case of the nerves about giving Delora's cat away. It just makes me feel bad inside. I would never tell her it is gone, as I do not want to add to her misery. I just hope since this is a senior citizen that nothing happens to her where the cat has to go somewhere else, as cats do not like change. She will be gone Wednesday. I tried to talk the neighbor into keeping her, but he wants no part of it. I cannot deal will shallow mindedness. I will miss her too as I have grown used to seeing her. I am not and I repeat not rescuing any more cats as no one wants them and it is hard on me. We will be in bed early tonite as I go to the Dr. at 4am. Have the sitter for Tipper so I hope no thunder. Tipper had a terrible tremor going all over her whole body yesterday during the day when she took a nap, I could not get to the camera in time to tape it and it was one that shook and rocked her. If this were something from a secreting tumor she would not be able to stop it I assume when I called her name?? If so it has to be the Vetoryl that has some permanent effects on the body. Blessings

Hi Patti! I hope you had a safe trip tomorrow. I have to drive to Nashville for my doctors and amounts to 4 hours round trip. I'm always pooped by the time I get back with all the hwy traffic. I hope the doctor was able to help you with the problem you were having.
Eli has a tremor (or quivering) too. It comes and goes. I'm not saying it's the same as Tipper's though...But, I believe his is from the Cushing's. He never had it before until recently (but, before Vetoryl). He always seemed to jerk around when he was sleeping since I've had him. His paws were always jerking around. When he slept with me, I'd put my leg against him to hold him steady...that seemed to work. But, this tremor or quivering was something new and started with his left leg...and now is all over, but it's off and on.
I hope it works out anyway and you have a good trip. I also hope Tipper does well with the sitter. :)
i hope you will have a safe trip tomorrow to your doctor and back.
our thunderstorms are over, so i hope yours will too.
i've had a dog with seizures and you can't stop them by calling their name or touching them.
waiting till dolores dies, to replace the cat, and the neighbor not wanting her, is no option, so you did right to let that lady come and get her.
so she has a chance to a good home.
maybe you can ask her if she has some back-up just in case?
is it an older cat too? hope she is a really nice woman and will like the cat.
Hope the thunderstorms missed you. We haven't had more than a sprinkle here so far, so no thunder.
That is just sad about Delora. :(
have a safe trip tomorrow
