Hi Everyone! My mom and dad told me today was Valentine's Day. They said this is a day where you are supposed to tell the ones that you love how much you do love them. They also told me about the love you showed me when I had my surgery and while I was recuperating. It was a tough time for me as I almost did not make it. It was very scary and my mom and dad were very worried for me.
I made it through that tough time and continue to recover. I know that it was because of the love you sent my way. My mom and day told me about the prayers, chants, pictures and healing mojo you were sending. They appreciated it too.
Follow me for more on my progress.
I wanted to let everyone know how I am doing. In a word, great! I have not had to go back to the vet for another chest drain since New Year's! I don't have to take medicine for pain or an anti-inflammatory either. The only thing I am taking to make sure the chyle fluid does not come back is Rutin three times a day and eating low-fat cat food. My mom doesn't know this but sometimes I will sneak my sister's cat food. My dad will also slip me extra cat treats then mom thinks I should have. Mom does not want me to gain too much weight because the vet told her that it would not be good for my heart or lungs. But still. . .
The reason I am here tonight is that I wanted to send a Valentine's Day message to everyone at Daily Kos. You showed me so much love that it is only fair that I send some love back to each and every one of you. I also want to thank all the pooties and woozles who also sent me good thoughts. I am sending warm purrs and nuzzles your way whether you are two-legged or four-legged.
Happy Valentine's Day
With Love,
Blackie
P.S. My mom took this picture of me today so you can see how well my hair is growing back.
