That is awful, Prof! I hope you feel better soon.
KK, I am glad to hear your recovery is going smoothly.
It has been a rough week. I nearly lost my kitty. I love my kitty. I have had her since she was found in my cousin's ditch at 4 weeks old. She is 11 now and went through Katrina with me. It turns out she had a bad infection (the vet thought intestinal. She is an indoor cat for the most part and has no wounds on her or anything. She is also diabetic, they said. She is doing much better but on all kinds of medications and I am still having to syringe-feed her the vet food, though she is starting to eat a tiny bit on her own.
Other than that, I am considering purposefully breaking a leg or something to get out of a possible dinner. I suppose I could come down with a "stomach bug." My sweet but neurotic cousin invited an uncle from the other side of the family for dinner. Aforesaid uncle is sweet but a bit obnoxious. All this would be bearable but I am afraid my cousin will have her mother, my truly-crazy (schizo, evil) aunt there. I am working 10-hour days (only 4 of those a week but still) and have a cat to medicate. I don't need this.
