Go figure! Twelve days before my surgery and I get Cat Scratch Fever. Ted Nugent anyone! I went to my doc and got some antibiotics and he said it shouldn't delay my surgery. I think the evil forces of wickedness are trying to get me down. Not gonna happen. I'm almost there!:)

LOL, I'm a big Ted fan. Can't even tell you how many times I've seen him. He was even both of my kids first concerts. lol.

Hope you get better soon!

Did your kitty scratch you because she's mad that you are making plans to get rid of you plush tummy pillow? :Bunny

Hope your surgery goes on as planned.

What is Cat Scratch Fever? With all my animals, I can't believe I haven't had that one. Really, I do hope you get better, really, really fast. But I can't get that song out of my head now! LOL:)

I actually don't feel too bad. What got me concerned was that my lymph nodes under one of my arms were swollen and hurting. Then I got bumps where the cat scratched me and then yesterday I felt like I was getting the flu. I feel much better today, but didn't want to take any chances with my up coming surgery.

My husband keeps walking around the house singing the song! Apparently, this is something that is more common in kids than adults. Leave it to me to get it.

In case you were wondering, both my kitties are very sweet and didn't mean to scratch me. I'm their mommy and they love me the best. :)

Two weeks ago I had to take my cat to the ER vet to have his eye surgically removed because it was so badly mangled. Traumatic experience for my cat and me! The vet said it was caused from a cat fight. Apparently cat claws are very, very nasty. I won't be taking any cat scratches lightly after that! I'll clean and put antibiotic salve on any and all.

Are you people trying to tell me that Cat Scratch Fever is a real disease? Am I in Homer Simpson land? I seriously never thought it was for real, even though I'm a big Sweaty Teddy fan myself!

I actually don't think one of my cats did the scratching. I have 5 little bumps where the claws went in and my cats don't claw me. They may scratch me if they jump off my lap or something, but they don't poke their little claws in me. I think the culprit was a sweet baby kitty at our local pet store. I can't resist holding a baby kitty and this one got a little scared and gripped me with her claws, hence the 5 perfect puncture marks on me.

And not to cause any decention in the group, but I'm not really a Ted Nugent fan. I only know the words to the song because my husband keeps singing it. The only thing I know about Ted is that he is/was the president of the NRA.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
