Hi Tina,
I think it's about time you and sweet Jasper caught a break. :p. I am glad to hear that he's holding his own a bit more. Do not worry about posting on the rest of our threads. We understand completely. Just continue to concentrate on that sweet boy of yours and we'll continue to send you tons of healing energy, strength, thoughts and prayers. xxxx
Right Jasper, September is over young man!! So time to tuck into your tasty dinners and perk right up!!! Looking forward to your next report Tina and hope he is feeling much better and your work has settled down a bit :):)
Hi Tina,
I've missed hearing from you. I hope Jasper is feeling much better and that you've been able to get some much needed rest. Please update us when you can. Xxxx

Hi Everyone,
Thank you all so much for your kind words and checking in on me and Jasper. I think he has finally turned the corner and is showing some stability again. He seems to be feeling considerably better. Yay!! It has been a long recovery. It took him over a month to bounce back from the crisis this time. I'm so proud of my little trooper, it has been a long rocky road. I hope he continues on the right track now.
I haven't meant to be absent from the forum. My grandmother who is in assisted living has been declining over the past couple of months. My Mom had visited in August, and she has further declined since then. My brother flew in from Texas at the end of September for a visit and to spend some time with her. It was a short notice visit and I couldn't get any time off from work while he was here :mad:, so things were a bit hectic. Then about a week ago she fell and was briefly hospitalized, fortunately nothing was broken. She has been doing somewhat ok since that time.
During all of this, work has been brutal, and I have had severe pain in my left foot. I haven't done anything to injure the foot. I think it is a flare up of plantar fasciitis, but not sure because I have never had it this bad. A couple weeks ago I could hardly bear any weight on it and was worried that I would need crutches. :eek: It will improve for a few days and then get worse again. It has been better over the past few days thank goodness, but seems to flare very easily for no reason. So things have been a bit difficult lately, and it's been a bit of a struggle to manage Jasper through everything. Thank God he kept going in the right direction, however slowly.
Currently, he seems to be feeling pretty well. His eating has improved, and he has more of a spring to his step. I am so grateful for that. I still need to post his lab results from the last couple of blood draws, mostly for my own records. They have shown gradual improvement, which seems to correlate with how he is feeling.
Sorry for not posting an update for so long. Thanks again for all the support. :)
Love and hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo
It's great to read the update on Jasper. So glad he's feeling better.
I wanted to let you know what I did about my foot. Same thing happened to me around the time of my daughter's wedding. I of course am in the wedding industry, so this whole decor, flowers etc. that goes with weddings was in my lap not to mention mother of the bride duties. I couldn't take the foot pain anymore so bit the bullet, headed to the dr.'s and got a steroid shot. I thought I was going to hit the roof when they did it. The shot went into the bottom of the foot near the arch. There was freezing in the actual shot too, so it was instant relief ( after I got off the ceiling) and could walk on it immediately. The doc said it was only a temporary fix and wouldn't last long. 10 yrs. later and my foot has been fine. It was horrible when I used to get out of bed first thing prior to the shot but so far, so good. Maybe worth looking into to get some relief. Guess that's what I get for wearing stiletto shoes for years and years.
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. It is so hard to watch our aging family deteriorate. My thoughts are with you.
Tina,
Jasper is feeling better :-)
You're not allowed to break. That sounds so painful!
Prayers for your grandmother!
Hi Tina,
So sorry to read that things have been hectic and then health problems with your grandmother too. Family and hectic does seem to go hand in hand sometimes doesn't it.
So glad to read that Jasper is doing well though and finally turned the corner to recovery. Just what we all wanted to hear. :)
You hang in there and take care of yourself too. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
So glad to hear that your Jasper is doing much better. Hope you are too. Blessings
