So, in this case, no news has been fairly good news. The steroids they have him on to control/reduce the hematoma seem to be working. It's been at least four days since his last episode of numbness/slurred speech/dizziness and the like. So things are looking up. I don't know if the meds will be for the rest of his life or if they're only a temp. stop-gap until they can take another look at him, but if he continues like this it'll be really good.
The cats have been making things interesting too. Our tom cat, Mr. Jinx, had surgery to remove a lump from his stomach and we're still not sure if its cancer or not, it was too small for a proper biopsy, so we're just watching him for now. He seems to have his up days and his down days, but he did have some pretty major surgery so I can't blame him. And my cat, La Nina just had her teeth cleaned and one pulled. I'm just praying her antibiotic isn't that expensive as I end up wearing more of it than I can get down her throat. *sighs* And she still has a week to go. This is going to be interesting. I wish she'd eat tinned food or tuna fish because then I could just put her meds on it and be done with it, but she hates them. And I don't think she'd eat Cheerios with medicine on them. Yeah, she loves Cheerios. Without milk, btw.
*huge hugs*
