Wishing Catdancer well

[agate]

In case you missed this, Catdancer's post #130 (yesterday) in the Chitchat thread gives news about her.

Hope the situation there will keep on improving, Cat!

Cat, I am stunned at what you are going through. I know cognitive symptoms very well. They impact my posting here, I get what is daunting for you . I hope you continue to claw your way back (no pun intended), and can read when you can, post when you can. ...

Rose, in the midst of your own personal grief, you reach out to Comfort Cat .....that is so like you and Jim to do that: the two of you are such generous souls.

Cat,

I'm so sorry to read about your latest challenges!

Do you think it's PML? It sounds more like an acute, multi system attack rather than an MS attack.

Sending you healing wishes for a full recovery! It's early days, give yourself time for anti-inflammatory mechanisms to kick in.

My thoughts are with you and TC. Remind him he also needs to take care of himself too!

I have been out most of the day today, but as I did my errands I could not help but wonder about you Cat and Rose and Jim. I also had Jeanie on my mind. I was thinking how quickly things can change for every one of us.

As I said before your nine lives are not up yet. Besides TC still needs some taking care of. You think it is the other way around, but you give him reason and purpose.
I hope you can see this and get that stubborn streak back. This is a new chapter, a bump in the road, a different one but not the last one.

No more word about Catdancer since her post in the Gardening thread.

If anyone has a way of contacting her (phone, snail mail) and would like to, maybe the time has come to try?

I hesitate to bother anyone about a message board, even to convey everyone's good wishes, when there's a crisis because the person probably has entirely too many real-life problems to deal with, but she might be cheered to know that people are concerned about her. I have an e-mail address for her but that's all.

Cat,
Please know that you matter so much to all of us here and we are holding you in so many ways.

[agate]

So far as I know, nobody has been able to contact her yet. I realized that Tom Cat is among her Facebook friends and so sent him a friend request with a message explaining who I am and letting him know that we're all concerned about her and hope she's improving.

Maybe some more information will be forthcoming but he may be reluctant to accept a friend request from someone he probably knows nothing about. I thought it was worth a try though.

[Virginia]

Agate, certainly worth a try. If TC is thinking well, he might just give you an answer. I am so concerned about Cat as everyone here is.

[Sunshine]

Am wondering how Cat is doing today...

[Virginia]

Jeanie, called this evening and I told her Cat had inquired about her and she wanted to know how Cat is coming along.

[Sunshine]

Have I missed something. It seems like Cat isn’t here consistently as before?

[Catdancer]

I'm here...been here for the last ten days. Been busy with doctors and follow up visits---neurologist, urologist, primary care, PT , OT, speech therapist, hearing specialist, hematologist..... I think that's all..�� I'm feeling OK. Doctors still aren't sure just what happened with me, other than the UTI and then the aspiration pneumonia triggered the cognition issues....which, for the most part, have resolved. None of the tests run by the doctors/specialists came up with anything definitive except my potassium levels are low....which should not have any bearing on the cognitive issues.

Anyway, I'm home, following an exercise plan for my arms and legs, and one for swallowing. A visiting nurse comes weekly, as does a speech therapist. I don't think they'll be coming much longer, though, as right now I'm pretty much back to where I was before the UTI that triggered the first episode.

Thanks for thinking about me....
