Bootstrap's
Cancer Page
Hi! My name is Bootstrap.
In June, my friend Ron took me to see my doctor (a cool guy known
to me as Dr. Brown) where we found out that I had operable Thyroid
Cancer.
Ron keept wondering why my behavior was so erratic (no I do not have Kitty
Alzheimer's..... Puhhhhleeeez!). Well, now we know why I was not myself this summer.
Cancer operations these days are about $1,000 - Ouch!
That hurts even more than the needle Dr. Brown stuck me with.
We couldn't afford the surgery; and besides, I was HARDly looking forward to becoming a
Kitty.
So, instead, Ron encouraged me to Heal Thyself -
Catnip Zen to the rescue.
Now, nearly 6 mos. later, I am back to being my usual pain-in-the-ass Self! In 2 months, my weigh has climbed from a low of under 6 lbs., to my weight in the days of my youth: 8.5 lbs. Ron keeps ragging on me that I will probably do my usual winter-time pork-out and gain another 2 lbs.; like I did in Cleveland when I tipped the scales at over 13 lbs.!
Thank you for your Cards, Guestbook Posts, encouraging E-mail and overall Emotional Support. It TRULY made a difference. Thanks to you, Ron is stuck with me for another bunch of years. Next April will be my Lucky-13 year. I've still got Four of my Nine Lives left - enough to raise a considerable amount of HELL before I finally Czech Out. Your encouragement has made that possible.
