Tuesday was a day for celebration on Gooseberry Lane. Fermata, my twelve-year-old tuxedo cat who has been battling a serious gastrointestinal lymph node infection since mid-January, had his esophageal feeding tube removed. Hurrah!!! That device, my constant companion for almost a month, the cause of much lost sleep, necessary and helpful though it was, will NOT be missed. Yes, Katherine the Great and I did incorporate the routine of the apparatus into our daily tasks, but returning to the "normal" flow of activity around here cannot happen soon enough. Today was a step in that direction. I went to handbell choir rehearsal for three hours and, in the afternoon, I was able to take my daughter to voice lessons. The family also grabbed a bite to eat at our favorite barbeque spot...without leaving a cat sitter behind. Oh, the freedom of independence is such a joy. Having a healthy kitty is even better!
