I Guess it Pays to get a Second Opinion.

Well...things are a bit better today. I was a bit resolved and prepared myself for losing my best friend. It all seemed to be a bit too much to bear. Anyways...after talking to my sister and dad, I decided it that we should take Cube to the specialist just to get his/her opinion. So I woke my mom, sister and cousin up this morning and asked them to take Cube to the surgeon.

Well...news is good...at least right now. The doctor diagnosed that the likely cause of his pain is a pinched nerve. He also said it was a common procedure and based on his evaluation Cube would have a 65-75% chance of recovery. The only thing that hit me was the cost...no cheap by any means...gonna have to save up for a while here. When it comes down to it though...I know it will be well worth it. He's not exactly out of the clear yet...but at least my spirits are up a bit. Anyways…how can you say no to this face. (paste link in browser...geocities won't link. Sucks)

Side note: On a humorous side...while I was using the restroom at the Vet...I noticed this norman rockwell-ish painting showing a little girl and a cat. The caption "pussy's picture". Coincidence...I think not. ^_^
