What a way to start the New Year!

[ZiggyStardust]

Just before my son’s college graduation (YAY!) the middle of December I ended up in a boot for an achilles tendon injury (slammed the edge of a metal door into my heel). After that, hubby left to visit his daughters and our granddaughter and my son went to his father’s. Son came home shortly after Christmas and hubby got back yesterday (12/31). On the way to meet him I tore my rotator cuff – get this, reaching into my coat pocket to get my phone. So now I’m in a boot and a sling. And increased pain – a lot of increased pain. Fortunately hubby is back to help me dress – I don’t think my son would like to do that. It’s just a partial tear so we’re trying to see if it’ll heal on its own before looking into surgery.

On the good side, Toothy is closer to being released! We’ll be able to test him to see if he’s free of the parasites in a week. After a bath we let Gizzy and Toothy meet briefly without a door. There was some gentle paw bopping, but no hissing, so we think they’ll get along.

Babies missed Daddy. Here's Giz getting some cuddles. (Sorry for the quality - can't hold the good camera right now.)



Trying to focus on healing up the good things to come!

Happy New Year to all! May 2013 be filled with health, happiness and prosperity!

aww I hope you heal very quick with your Rotatorcuff and your ankle!!
And I hope the meeting in a week will be great for the Babies! Ours were pawing each other under the Door too it was funny to watch and they didnt hiss either.
They got along great right away too, Hansel the older cat just spits sometimes when the baby always pounces on him 20 times.... then he gets a paw the 21st time.
We are always amazed in how the older Cat tolerates all the kitten stuff so long!

Yikes...what a way to start the New Year. The only spin I can put on it is it has to get better

Ash (10 year old Cornie) got along great with both Ziggy and Gizzy right from the start. Gizzy and Toothy have been playing lots of pawsies under the door. I think there was only a hiss or two the first day. Since then there's been more trilling chirps during the pawsies and then excited bounding around after the pawsies. Good signs to get along!

You poor thing. Be careful not to injure anything else, ok? Hope the healing happens quickly and the pain killers are plentiful.
Praying for you,
Susi and the gang

I'm so sorry you've got 2 injuries to deal with now.
Let me give you a goal for the next week: stay upright!!

Hope Toothy can come out soon! Sounds like the boys will have fun when they can play!

Get her to the padded room fast for her own protection from the world!
Sorry to hear of your calamities. I hope you heal. Have you ever looked into deep tissue laser therapy? I had a super painful bought of tendinitis in Oct and it really helped with healing and the pain.

 

[Hairless Blessing]

Well, bless your heart. You have had, your fair share for the year.
Hope you get well soon and things, are much better for you,
in this new year.
