Hello Monday LL peeps,

Shasta is still very grumpy with me, so we're having to rebuild our relationship. She is sitting in my lap right now, but is very skeptical of me. :? She did not sleep with me last night, but did join me on my btb nap...and I got some purrs right before we got up. Honestly, I don't know what's going on with her. Her mood swings are horrendous. :roll: Her appy is ok. She ate all of her breffis, but is barely eating her breffis #2. :YMSIGH: We did just have a rousing game of kill the toy...so play is going well. She's got the preening under control. So far, only 1 LB P - pee; no poo yet.

Ok, my chiropractor appointment is in an hour. Very curious to see what the MRI reveals. Hope everyone is having a great day so far.

She tuckered herself out killing her toy, so she decided to take a rest on my pillows while she watched Al Roker & Carson Daly on The Today Show. She's such a diva!

Nice cycle for sassy Shasta, even if she's being mean to her bean. :roll: :lol: Paws crossed for the MRI and chiro appt.

Hi Liz, she was being kind of a butt head this morning. However, when I got home from my chiropractor appointment, she was very sweet...even after I fed her a little snack. I think she knew that I got bad news and wanted to show me the love.

Verdict on my back pain: 2 herniated discs at the lowest part of my spine. One of the herniated discs isn't "so bad"; however, the other disc (lowest) is horrible, large and pressing on the nerve root to my right leg (hence the numbness in my right buttock/leg/foot). My chiropractor is not a fan of surgery, but after receiving the MRI report and having to call the radiologist because he thought it was a typo...he wants me to consult a surgeon or two or three. :cry: This is not ok. NOT OK. I'm going to go and do some research now and start working on my taxes...may really need some extra money now. :YMSIGH:

oh my. That's not what you wanted to hear. @-)
At least you should have some good dr options... you don't live in the middle of no where. Hope you can find one that you can feel confident in.

Sorry that Shasta's being a moody girl. She and Shadow keeps secrets from us very well these days. They need to confess and let us in on
what's going on.

Hi Deborah, glad you got the verdict MRI, but sorry on the news. Paws and fingers crossed for some good consults and some research on your part. Isn't there anything the chiropractor can do for you in the meantime?
Shasta, time to start being nice to your Bean.

Hi Rhiannon & Ann,

My first comment to my chiropractor (before he could even tell me what was going on) was that I didn't want surgery. :sad: Unfortunately, once he explained everything, it's starting to look like I won't have much choice in the matter. There are several surgeons in the area that he is recommending, so I will take his recommendation. In the meantime, he is continuing to provide therapy, but there's not even that much that he can do.

Shasta has been a sweetheart to me since getting home. She's been wanting to sit on my lap and love on me. Unfortunately, I can't let her sit on my lap for too long because I need to get up and move around. Now she's curled up on her blanket next to me. I'm in the midst of filing my taxes (which is worse... filing taxes or a herniated disc...it's a draw!) but I got stumped by a section. Waiting for more guidance from my Facebook friends! :-D

I'll be back in a bit.

Deborah, I'm sorry you didn't get better news from the chiropractor, but at least you know what is going on now. I hope you can find a good doctor for the surgery. That's sweet Shasta wants to make you feel better.

Hi Deborah,
Bummer on your herniated discs. I hope that when you get a second opinion it will not sound so dire. Do you know this book?:
http://www.amazon.com/Back-Care-Basics-Doctors-Program/dp/0962713821?tag=felinediabetesfdmb-20
It is really excellent and may help you before and after surgery (or help you to avoid surgery altogether).

Shasta is trying to help you. What a good girl!

Have a good evening,

Ella & Rusty

Thank you, Carla. She's been a fantastic kitty tonight. Nothing like a little sympathy to get some kitty love! :razz:

Thank you, Ella. I haven't seen that book, but it's now on my amazon wish list! Thank you! Shasta is a good girl and she's being the sweetheart I LOVE! ;-)
 
(((((Deborah)))))

I hope the book helps you find an alternative to surgery.

Miss Shasta is so gorgeous on her red and black pillows. She IS a diva and so she may pick when she wants to be sweet Shasta or snotty Shasta :-D :-D I hope she will be feeling benevolent and give you lots of love.
