Very few things in life seem to go as planned.
My surgery in October went well but there were some complications discovered. I’m lacking cartilage and my ankle has healed in a bone-on-bone configuration. That explains the excruciating pain and inability to gain a lot of stamina. Physical therapy and time has helped me get moving again and come to terms with the fact I will never be the way I was pre-collision again. I pretty much take it a day at a time and try not to get frustrated with my limitations.
I had planned to return to blogging to celebrate Finnegan McFluffy’s first birthday which is estimated to be on March 23rd. Unfortunately, things again did not go as planned.
Wednesday, March 19th, we took Finnegan McFluffy to the vet. He was looking bloated and his activity level and playfulness had decreased in the last week. Needless to say, I was concerned. Unfortunately my ginger kitten has Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). The vet estimated just 2 months.
I adore this kitten. He is a dream come true. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this all. Please keep him in your thoughts.

I’m sorry about your kitty. Much love to you both.

Mary and I lost our new kitten Tatiana to IFP at the age of six months in 2013. Our vet prescribed steroids in sugar syrup to palliate the symptoms in her last weeks. Cats hate sugar syrup, but pharmacists compound that way. One day when she went into severe distress, I took her to the vet for the last time. I shall be thinking about you and your friend.

I came here via DIYPlanner, where I’ve seen your posts for years. I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry to hear about your kitten. My pets are part of my family so I truly understand how heart-wrenching this must be for you. (((hugs)))
