Aw, what a brave, GOOD girl to be there for her meow-my. She certainly does
deserve some reward for both her bravery and dedication to you (shrimpies,
maybe?).

Mega healing purrs on the way for your neck to get better really quickly and
give you no trouble in the future. *FOUR* herniations? My gawd Carol, why
are you not in traction???! I'm sure I don't have to tell *you* this, but
don't let anyone with a scalpel anywhere near you unless you can get rid of
the pain no other way on earth. If you do *have* to resort to surgery, I
would suggest getting the surgeon to give you a list of people who would be
willing to contact you to let you know how they were treated and if they got
any relief or any extra pain after the surgery. Anyway, as good a
researcher as you are I'm sure you'll dig up every fact that can be found
before making that decision.

All give a bow (or a bow wow with a wag) to Daisy-chan. Here's why.

I hurt my neck again (long story made short, DDD with 4 herniations, 2 in
neck). I've been in pain the last 6 days. Daisy-chan, my once high
semi-feral has gone totally lap kitty. It helps alot. She loves to sleep
right between my legs perched up on my belly and purr. (Ontop of the
blanket, not getting kinky here! Grin!).

Anyways, 24 hours ago we took in our second rescue dog. (Those in
RPD.Behavior will have the fuller story on Sammy). Now as amazing as I
think dogs and cats are, especially when they get along, this one is
unique. With her long standing buddy Cash-pup in the bedroom, and me in
the livingroom (sofa best for my back/neck), and Sammy on his blanki (not
crated) in the livingroom, I expected to be cat free for the night. Nope.

NOTHING, not even a new dog in the house was gonna stop her from her self
appointed care of her Meowmie! In she sailed with tail high, sniffing at
the new dog's general direction then hopped right up and settled in for
the night. It was a sort of 'love my meowmie, love me' moment.

I'm proud of her.
