Thank you Pam. Congrats to you too. Well, what a coincidence I have just had x-rays for possible knee/hip replacements, but haven't got the results yet. Like you, I don't really want more surgery, but if needs be then I will have to have it. Good luck.

Pam Williams

Oh Maggie, I am so sorry to hear about losing your furry friend. I know how this feels and yes it is devastating :( Hope you are doing okay and the medication issues improve.

Oh Maggi, you poor thing, I know what losing a pet is like, it has broken my heart! I currently have a 14 year old 3 1/2 pound long haired chihuahua. He may not look great, no teeth, tounge hangs out, etc. but to me he's still beautiful! I dread... Read more.

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. Surgery recovery on it's own would have been bad enough, but to lose Tiffany at the same time has made it a lot worse. I am finding it difficult to concentrate on even crosswords. Oh well give it time.

Catie B

Ohhhh. Maggi, I am just so sorry. I know what a trauma that must be, about Tiffany and how painful it is to lose a pet you adore. I hope you feel better physically and emotionally soon. What a tough time!

Laurie Baglio

Maggi, did they get all your meds straightened out? How awful about losing your furry friend. Anytime is a terrible time to lose someone we love, human or animal.... sending prayers that you are feeling better overall.
