I'm glad you are doing a bit better and that you have a plan to help deal with these issues.
Pets having health problems is horrible. My dog gets a sore back now and then and I worry every time that this one is the time that he won't get better. He's getting a older and he's such a good boy and I love him so much. When his back hurts sometimes I start to think about when he isn't around and it gets dark really fast so I have to tell myself that there is plenty of time to be sad after he is gone so I can't waste the time he is here.
Wait till you see the black eye I impose after insulting a boxers mother.
