When we did the group purr activity, one of the entries was for my
brother, Pat. He had a hip replacement a couple years ago, and is
looking at getting another soon. He's been having problems with the new
hip, so he went to see his doc today.
The reason he needed the hip replacement was that he has osteonecrosis.
Basically, his bone is dying. The reason his new hip is giving him
problems is that the osteonecrosis is spreading. The most recent news is
that it has spread to his spine - his lower 3 vertebrae are now dying off.
This has the potential to cause great difficulty in his life. We're all
purring that the disease will slow it's spread and he'll have a good
many years left before he has serious problems from it. Extra purrs
would be appreciated.

This sounds very scary, Dan. Many purrs that your brother can go on a
long time without feeling any more bad effects from this disease. Purrs
for the whole family, too. This must be difficult for you all to deal with.

Purrs and gentle headbutts on the way to your brother as well as you and
our families. Hopefully this will be a slow progressing disorder and
he'll have many years of pain free activity.

Dang it, Dan. I'm so sorry to hear this. Twin-turbo purr motors revving up
for the osteonecrosis to slow it's spread.
