HAPPY SIX MONTH AMPUVERSARY JILL!
Wow. 6 months already? How did that go by so fast!? When I sit down to actually look back on the last 6 months, I really only see improvement after improvement and belly rubs and purring and kisses. Not any recovery, CBC’s after CBC’s after CBC’s, x-rays, chemo, vein problems, peeing issues, supplements, metronomics. And I think that really says it all. 6 months is also quite meaningful for us, because it was 6 months after her toe (where the primary tumor was) was amputated that it metastasized up her leg. So, to get to this point is very important to me. My little ten pound One of a Kind is an inspiration to me everyday and amazes me with the amount of typical cat-like ambivalance she has had toward cancer and having three legs throughout this entire journey. Six months ago, I was worried this would ruin her life. How silly. When we go to the vet and she gets handed over to the vet tech, she still wraps her arms around that tech’s neck for a big hug, just like she has her whole life. She hops around the apartment as if she’s been a three-legged kitty her whole life.
So. Happy Ampuversary my Jilly. I am so so proud of you and love you!
