Best wishes for Peter that it is nothing serious.  Maybe he pulled a
muscle or something.

Lots of purrs that it is nothing serious.

Purrs that Peter's problem isn't serious and easily treated.

Many purrs on the way for both of you.

Purrs for him, and excellent that he's going to the doctor.  Some guys won't
do that until things start falling off them. :P

Mega purrs on the way for his health and your nerves.  It's so hard not to
know exactly what is going on.

If he's fifty or older, it might very well be
"diverticulitis" - which CAN require surgery, but is usually
treated witn anti-biotics, anti-spasmidics, and pain-killers
if neccessary.  As we age, especially if we do not eat a
fiber-rich diet, the intestines forms little pouches or
pockets called "diverticuli".  If food gets into one of
these and becomes impacted, it can develop an infection,
which can be VERY painful (feels like appendicitis, but
usually on the left-hand side - your appendix is on the
right).  If that's all it is, his doctor may suggest
Metamucil or Benefiber daily.  (I always thought those were
laxatives - which I don't need - but all they do is increase
bulk, so food moves along easier, and is less likely to get
into those little pockets and cause problems.)  Benefiber,
especially, dissolves more or less instantly, is totally
tasteless, and can be stirred into any liquid, including
water.  (I simply add it to the glass of water with which I
take my daily medications.)

Hope that's all it is in Peter's case - he may find he has
to avoid certain foods that may set off an attack (for me
it's popcorn and sesame seeds) but it's much easier to live
with than something that requires a special diet.

Lots and lots of purrs,
Polonca and Soncek
