04/30/2005: "Today's News"

It been a rough couple days.

The worst of it was taking one of my cats to the vet and finding out that his recent wobbly gait is due to a neurological problem. Doc says it’s probably a lesion or tumor on his spinal cord. Not a diagnosis you ever want to hear.

The vet gave me the number of a neurologist in case I wanted to have more tests run and "get a clearer picture of what the problem is." He didn't say the neurologist could do anything to reverse or stall the problem. In fact it seems that there isn't anything that can be done.

At least the cat, my beloved Charlie, doesn't seem to be in any pain and is still getting around. Unfortunately that will probably change.

Perhaps I’m too attached to my cats but the whole thing really upsets me. At least I managed to not cry in the vet’s office, much to the relief of the nurse.

How ironic that I was upset but trying not to show it so as not to upset the people around me.

In other, lighter news:

I’ve got three new subs pending. Yippee!

Plus I’ve acquired some new webdesign software. Once I learn to use it maybe I can create my own webpages from scratch instead of relying on a blogging program and it’s templates.

And I’m gonna watch "Enterprise" tonight; I hear it’s gotten good in its last few episodes.

And that's all the news that’s fit to post.
