Gershun, so happy to read that Daniel is doing well. I see his picture.

Oh good grief, that cone. I remember when Charlie was wearing one.... we knew where he was in the house as we could hear him scrapping along the walls and bumping into things. After a half a day, we decided it was enough and took the cone off.

Here's my new avatar with Daniel (coned) after his ordeal.

He's very groggy but his tail wags when we talk to him. When we first arrived the technician gave us a big thumbs up and mouthed "he did really good"

So we have his pain medicine schedule. They've sent the masses for biopsy and he is due to get his sutures out in two weeks.

Thx for your good wishes and prayers everybody. Keep them coming!

Good luck with the "cone of shame" I can never keep one on a cat or dog for more than a few days! Luckily they have all survived!

Hey Friends,

Here's an update on my Daniel.

We had discovered another small lump on his rump area before we went in today so when we got there we pointed this out to them. They asked permission to do a fine needle aspiration on it before they went ahead and removed the other mass. Well, it turns out this one was also a mass and we gave permission to remove it as well.

Good news is his blood work is fine and his thoracic x-ray was fine. They will send both masses for biopsy's and we will have Daniel back in a few hours with the cone of shame which he may have to wear for two weeks. Argh.

Thank-you Shell. I know I have no control over things. I've prayed about it and am trying to let go and let God as I always suggest to other people.

We've always taken the best care of our kitties. Feed them veterinary prescribed foods, don't give them too many treats, play with them, shower them with love. What more could I have done? If it's meant to be, it will be. He's in God's hands.

Thanks for your well wishes.

I know how you feel. This picture is Socks. She had a sister name Scooter they were my everything! They were my girls! Whenever I was upset Scooter would come over to me and pat at me and then give me kisses. They know when we are hurting. I sometimes thought they had a better understanding of us than what we have of them. I always say, kitties are God's special little creators! There is some thing about cats that one can not explain...you just feel it...you see it in them. Unfortunately, I lost Scooter in 2013 and Socks went to be with her sister in 2016. But God sent me Shadow in 2008 and Birdie in 2013. Birdie showed up at my door only 8wks old and I just knew she was a gift from God. Moses showed up in 2014 right before my dad passed away. He was abandoned by his family. I was going to adopt him out because I use to rescue kitties, but he was around 10 yrs old half blind and don't trust men and doesn't like loud noises or anything moving to fast around him. He scares easily. So I kept him! We go for walks together at night, so he doesn't get scared but we both get our exercise in.

I believe Daniel will be find and maybe that is what he was trying to tell you. I want to believe in the best for him and you! Believe me I get it! 💕🐱

Thx Shell. My two cats are my fur children. Simple as that!

They are amazing little creatures. I was having a bit of a weep thinking of how hard it would be to lose Daniel and he came over to comfort me. Just a gentle little soul. I love him and his brother to pieces. His brother loves him too. They are so bonded, the two of them.

Thank-you Send, Pam, FF!

I guess it's the knowing it is cancer that is worrying me the most. They are going to do a blood panel, ultra sound etc. too to make sure it has not already spread.

I love this cat along with his brother so, so much. And along with my own brother being seriously ill in hospital it's just a lot right now.

But thank-you all for your good wishes and prayers!

Gershun, it is amazing how quickly a cat will recover from surgery.

Many decades ago I had a ginger cat who had a large thyroid growth. The surgeon assured me even with "Alex" being 16 years old, he will do fine. And he did, he bounced back pretty quickly for an old guy.

Here's hoping for a quick recovery for Daniel.

Gershun, my prayers are with you, it is so hard to have pet in pain. My DDs chihuahua ( my profile pix) has a lump on her spine. We took her in this week, and they said it was an "old lady bump". Hope your news is as good as ours was.

So, I found out today that my cat Daniel has a cancerous tumor on his mouth. Will be taking him in on Tuesday to get it surgically removed.

Please say prayers that they get it all and it hasn't spread.

Another detail, the "private message" box was clicked, but my messages posted were not private.
I could not have been making that error so many times, trying so hard to keep my privacy.

Hmmm, I am using an old desk top computer [Windows 7], on Firefox, and can get into the website with no problems.

Maybe there are times when it pays to be old :)

Log in, log out.
I am sure that I did not log out, but when I came right back, I had to log in again.

Typing, I just had whole sentence automatically erased, letter by letter as I watched it. Another time, I was backspacing to delete, and several words just left on their own. (Beyond what I intended).

I just concluded that the website, or my kindle had been hacked.

Me Too, in the past few days, I have had to Log in over and over (and then I forgot my password it had been so long, lol) , and I've never had that problem before, but to their credit, the AC administration has been very prompt at fixing this problem for me!

Thanks for the heads up. Any further details would help. I'm sending it to the tech team now.

CW the problem is the site, not your browser. Been having the same issues for a few days now.

Me too, CW. It hasn't been that bad but I have noticed slow loading and site not responding type behaviours. Maybe they're tinkering with it behind the scenes?

Just a little grumble:
Something has changed either with AgingCare or my Firefox browser because I'm running into a lot of glitches here (and only here) - pages are taking forever to load and are loading improperly. I get that I have my security settings very high but that never caused trouble before, and add blocking should speed up page loading not slow it down. grrrr

Signed up for a Medicare Advantage Plan.
It has co-payments:
I can see my chiropractor for $15.
A therapist is $15.
A regular doctor is $10.

Thinking this will work for me.

Smeshque and Sonny, Job is who I thought of too, but then, I read some of Sonny's caring answers to others.  What he wrote sounds like an excellent description of burnout.  Perhaps time for a general SOS alarm to anyone to stay overnight, or hide his car when he sleeps, so she won't know he's home.  Certainly a topic we all understand!  Good luck Sonny, you're a good person doing the best you can. 

One year an acquaintance in my spiritual group became ill with cancer and its treatments.  Her husband worked nights.  All she needed was someone sleeping on couch to hear her ring a bell and help her to the bathroom.  Well, he may have needed more, but we all took turns sleeping there.  One lady set up the schedule.

Sonny- you need to read the story of Job. Sometimes we can go through things and a lot of things and it feels as though God has turned HIS back on us, or forgotten us, or doesn't love us. But that is So NOT the case.
We cannot believe that we will never endure hard times if we love God and God loves us. As a matter of fact it is so clearly stated in the scripture that we will SUFFER, as Jesus SUFFERED for us. If this life were meant to be perfect then that would mean we were in Heaven and there would be no Heaven. But if this life were perfect, what then would we have to look forward to? Nothing.
We go through the utmost of difficult things at times, to be tried, to be polished, to be grown. It is not a personal attack, even though at times it feels like it.
Sometimes maybe we are trying to make a withdraw on the love and mercies of God, and yet we have made absolutely no deposits.
Life is rough, Life is tough, Life is full of struggles and strife. But we have a chance and we can have the hope of perfection one day. And that way is through Jesus.
Praying for you.
