Julie Good luck, sending good vibes and thought your way in CT! Try to stay out of the insane asylum!

In addition to glaucoma in his enlarged eye, he has a luxated lens, cataracts and corneal ulceration. He has cataracts in his 'good' eye, as well as the prolapsed lens. The opthamologist (she was great!) recommends removing his right eye and monitoring the left eye (he has some drops for it) for 2-3 months. The left eye does have the potential to rupture as his right eye has. He's not a youngster and he's FIV+, so I am debating whether to have both eyes removed in one surgery instead of doing one and then finding out in a year that the other one needs to come out. The practice I went to is all specialists (dermatolgists, cardiologists, etc.) and I was really impressed with everyone there. My husband is having surgery next week to repair an abdominal aneurysm (wow, the fun never stops around here!) so I was thinking about seeing if Brownie could have surgery while Steve's in the hospital and then I'd either get them both home about the same time or check myself into the insane asylum!!! Thanks to all of you for your good thoughts for Brownie; he was such a trooper on the long ride! Hugs and headbutts!

Re: Brownie's visit
Hi Nina, Brownie is such a wonder! He ADORES his fluffy little bed and his FOOD bowl! He senses the vibration when I walk into the room and within the last month or so he's decided he wants to be petted before he eats! He's the happiest cat you can imagine; just purrs and purrs when he's petted or when he eats! Thanks so much for the good vibes; we surely need them, and I will absolutely inquire about group rates at the asylum!! Love, JulieNina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Julie,Your Brownie is one amazing cat! It's inspriational to hear about someone with so many disabilities to overcome, enjoying life the way he does. I'm glad you found a specialist you feel good about. As far as trying to save his left eye, if he can't see out of it anyway, I would probably be thinking the same thing about avoiding two surgeries. Many good vibes to you, Brownie and Steve.

well, sounds like the other thing you have to consider is what'll happen to you when you trip over the hubby or cat and end up with a broken leg yourself? hee hee MC
