This will be short as I am still recovering from my surgery. Writing with one hand is challenging! Tommie is doing WONDERFUL! He is acting like his old self again. Dooking, jumping and being a ferret. I thank the Lord every day I opted for surgery to remove his hairball. For those I met at the Symposium in Pittsburgh, Peanut (my other fert) is doing much better too. I personally think she suffered from stress of traveling. She hates the half hour trip to the vet! To those who were so wonderful to contact me via email or snail mail about funds for Tommie's surgery, PLEASE KNOW.... I am NOT ignoring you. I appreciate everyone's kindness and concern more than I will ever be able to communicate. 'Thank you' is simply not enough. I PROMISE as soon as I am able to I will respond to everyone! Truthfully, I have not even opened all my snail mail. I have been in bed for over a week. I got a SEVERE migraine the day after I got home from Pittsburgh and then had surgery which knocked me for a loop. This is the 1st I have been on my pc since Nov 5!!! Thank you all for prayers and everything you offered to help with Tommie. Tommie loves you all as do I! From ~ Melanie "A cat or dog steals your heart, but a ferret steals your soul."
