Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Purrs for my friend, please
One of my two very best friends, Diane, is scheduled for surgery on June 5th. She has Multiple Sclerosis, having been diagnosed at the very young age of 32. She's 5 years younger than I am (I'll be 47 in 2 months) and is now permanently in a wheelchair. She moved back to Ohio years ago to be closer to her family as she couldn't get along on her own here in Tennessee anymore. She was married when she was diagnosed; once she started having minor motor issues he decided it was all too much trouble. Spent most of his time on the golf course rather than making sure she was okay at home. D***head!! He had quit a perfectly good job in IT at FedEX. She also worked there and gets a nice disability check and some Social Security benefits. So she divorced him and pretty much left him with his cojones hanging in the wind! Good for her! She has since remarried a wonderful man who actually loves her and takes care of her. They are picking up a brindle female Boston Terrier pup today. They went to a reputable breeder a few weeks ago and she played with the pups and picked out the one that gravitated towards her the most :) They've been back to visit since and each time the pup really seemed to be saying "Pick Me! Pick Me!" Smart puppy :) She's excited! Anyway, she will be getting the dead bone capped in her left humerus (the long bone extending from shoulder to elbow); The doctor says she should experience at least a 60% improvement. Right now she's in terrible pain and told me at least 40% improvement would keep her from swearing so much. LOL Purrs that the surgery is successful and the recuperation time is not too long would be appreciated. Jill > One of my two very best friends, Diane, is scheduled for surgery on > June 5th.

She has Multiple Sclerosis Purrs for Diane. In case she doesn't know - there's a proven connection between MS and aspartame. Not saying it caused her case but it will aggravate the situation if she uses it. See "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World". I just saw it a few days ago. I knew some of the facts but I was really shocked to learn the full story.

And she lives in Antioch, TN. Kind of coincidence. Sounds like they are both tough ladies. MS makes you that way, I think. It's a tough disease to cope with. My friend is not in a wheelchair, but has to use a power scooter most of the time. Sherry >> One of my two very best friends, Diane, is scheduled for surgery on >> June 5th.

I remember when she first started having real problems walking (mostly balance issues) before she moved away. She needed a cane - the geriatric type with the 4 feet at the bottom. She said she refused to look like a little old lady when she wasn't even 36! So she asked a mutual friend from the neighborhood bar to paint that cane. It had a sort of hooked handle at the top, so he painted it to look like a Toucan! It was too funny! I'll pass along the purrs (but I'll have to explain the concept, first!)

On a different topic, good luck house breaking that little puppy. I can say I've never met a Boston terrier I didn't like.
