Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Nice to hear from you, Carol! Raising the kittens sounds exhausting but rewarding. Glad to hear that the Enbrel is working. You'll probably have fun at your water aerobics class. How is your husband doing? I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 , I have missed the interaction from the group - I read everything, but was unable to reply or converse with anyone. My husband is back to work and doing fine. He still gets a little pain at the incision site ( 15 inches long ) , but ok. Thanks for asking, Love, Carol M. and Baby Kitties in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Carol, What you are doing is hard work, but very rewarding. Being raised on a farm, I¹ve had the pleasure of bottle feeding just about every critter you can think of. I know these kitties are keeping you well entertained. It¹s great that the enbrel is working. Enjoy the water therapy. I always feel better after going. a > Hi All, > sorry I haven't written, still being " Mom " to 5 baby kittens.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 hi carol... i have missed you...boy is ure hope you get better... this stuff is hitting people hard... and the congestion hans on for ever... rae [ ] Note from Carol Hi All, Checking in with all of you. I think I am on the other side of all the tongue stuff, etc. I was doing fine on Hyperbaric Treatments until I got this Bronchial thing that is going around and had to stop. ( You can't have a coughing attack in the tube). Went to the Dr. and his whole office was the " working sick " # & $*)% Because of all my drug allergies he only put me on Mucinex OTC because you could feel my chest rattle. Went back today (1 week later) and I now have Bactrim and Tessalon Pearls - Dr. says I have Pleurisy. I run a fever off and on - Tomorrow I need to get a chest exray. The chest pain is pretty bad and fatigue when I do anything. The point of above is - please be very careful because this infection sneaks up and hits you with a pretty powerful punch. I think I got it from my Grandson who I pick up from school 3 times per week, he had a cough and sniffles, but WE ALL get it so much worse.So please take care . I know I haven't posted very much, I do read every post, it is just very hard right now and would rather spend my energy keeping all of you in my prayers. Gentle Hugs, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
