*hugs* to YWIW. I'm so sorry.
		     			Thanks for the good thoughts - hopefully this will be something on the "not so bad" side of things. I will not know anything until Monday. 
 
The location of the mass via an X-ray is just to uncertain - it could be something with the pancreas, or the stomach - there are just so many organs in that area that the vet cannot be certain until the Ultrasound. 
 
He is getting some extra special treats today.   
 
Zorra seems to realize I am upset, because she is being especially cute.  
 
I think that bottle of red wine I did not open last night will be opened tonight...
		     				
		     					
*the sad cows enter and cuddle stoli and give him tons of treats *
I think red wine is a good idea there.
		     			YWIW - You made me go over and cuddle up with Tootsy on the floor.  You're all in my prayers. 
 
(Yes - I do pray for animals.  Frankly I think they're a little closer to the angels than a lot of people I know.)
		     						     						
I just cuddled with the baby kitty. After a lovely afternoon in the pool.
		     			I posted something before--as soon as you got back from the vet but it never showed up. (I think BWW was doing some sort of clean-up.) 
 
Anyway, what I said was that we are all thinking of you, Zorra and, especially, Stoli. We're hoping that the remedy will be a relatively simple one and Stoli will be back on the road to good health shortly thereafter. 
 
A really positive way to look at things like this, for me, is to keep in mind that it wasn't too long ago that the technology to identify these conditions didn't exist. Fortunately, they can now pinpoint and diagnose the problem... as well as treat it.  
 
Starina would have died within hours of her birth if she had been born 10 years earlier, so we count our blessings...among them the miracle of modern medicine and medical technology! 
 
Please know that you can call me if you need to talk. Xooo
		     						     						
That's a lovely way of seeing things, Miss P.

		     			Poor Stoli! Poor Auntie Deb! I'm wishing the best for you, my loves. 
 
I'm about to go out with the boy. Should be fun!
		     				
		     					
		     			Thanks all. 
 
I will just wait until Monday, and think good thoughts.

Wine...another one of the blessings we count! Hugs to all.
Wine...my steak was marinated (slightly) in that for tonight's supper. Yum!
		     			It is either wine of some Bombay Sapphire - not sure which yet. 
 
Shira, here was a hiccup in the Saturday festivities when you are in town.  So, at some point, we will need to touch base to see who we can convince to cook for us!

		     			Miss P - You evidently believe that twice over! 
 
YWIW - I heard! *sniffle*

		     			ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 
 
I was supposed to go out with Boy tonight, and I got all dolled up. skirt, hair, tasty lip gloss, everything! 
 
And he's sick and can't come over. 
 
I feel like crying. It was all I've looked forward to for days.

		     			DGG - remember that you ASKED for FGFs when you read this! 
 
Your thoughts should be about him - who is SICK - and maybe not so much about how you got dressed up for nothing. 
 
I'm going to assume that you ARE concerned about him, and only came here to vent - which you are MORE than allowed to do. 
 
But, I do hope you check in on him, and ask if there's anything you can do to help . . .

		     			You think I haven't? Dear lord. I spent a long time on the phone with him, and I was the one who made him go to bed so he's get better! I'm not a monster! 
 
 
and I know EXACTLY how he got sick, and how it feels. I know it sucks, believe me.

So many diseases are passed through those lips, dear. Just don't get Mono, or you'll never hear the end of it from me.

		     			I've had it already. I'm mostly safe.  
  
And I got it from sharing a drink in 9th grade. Not even the fun way.

		     			Now that's just boring, DGG. 
 
I got mine in 8th grade, not quite sure how.

		     			I didn't say you were a monster, dearest 
  But, I'm glad to hear that you did exactly what I would have thought you would. 
 
Now then, Shira - you don't KNOW how you got it, in the 8TH GRADE?!?!? 
 
Can you tell why it's good I never had children?
		     				
		     					
DG, I wasn't kissing anyone, I assure you. I assume I just shared something or whatnot, but the exact trail of contagion I cannot identify.
