Nala - Mom's Cat
« on: July 31, 2009, 10:09:48 AM »
Hi, just wanted to let you know that mom is doing great with dialysis. I don't think she monitors her liquids as well as she should, but she is getting good reports from the unit.

She now goes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12 to 3.

She is recovering from recent catarac surgery on her second eye. First one done a month ago. Soon she'll be walking better, but kind of set her knee recovery back when she wacked it on a table.

Talk to you soon!
