Anyway, to make a long story short... all is well. I DON'T have Glaucoma, but I do have 'narrow angles'. The laser surgery was a preventative to avoid Glaucoma... and the holes are still open. However, I guess due to all the drops they put in your eyes as they run tests, dilate them, etc. I ended up with a dull headache that wouldn't go away... not even with my Tylenol x-strength. By this morning, it was beginning to worry me but...
It is now Thursday afternoon and I can say (for the moment anyway) that it seems to have finally dissipated. Hopefully it will stay gone.
And I've been talking about our 'kittens' on my Cats, Coffee, and Chocolate site.... and I'm going to add some photos here that probably should be added the kitten pics there... but I get lazy going back and forth between sites. This morning we went to Petco to get some Royal Canan Kitten chow for the babies to wean on. We've been giving them KMR and they are lapping this already... so we thought we'd hasten the transition by adding a little kitten chow to the KMR.
Well, Barney and Clyde (the 2 cats we pictured in an earlier post) are still there. Barney (the big orange tabby) is just as friendly as ever and Clyde is still lounging under his bed.

Clyde... still laying under the cat bed
New female long haired - very pretty
This last one is a new female. She is what I'd suspect the little black long-haired kitty we're fostering will look like when grown... same small face, but very black long hair...

How I wish we could take them all home!
I hope your headache is gone now. They can be so brutal. I didn't realize you had two blogs. duh!
ReplyDeleteI will pop over to meet the kittens. I know what you mean about wishing you could get all these cats loving homes. It is heartbreaking for me, too. Deb
Yes, the headache has not returned... so far today! Yeah!
DeleteThe 2 little ones we have in the house ate all the Royal Canin kitten chow that I doused with KMR. So glad. I don't mind bottle-feeding them, but its so much easier when they eat on their own.
I'm glad your headaches have stopped.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John. Me too.
DeleteAnd here I thought my desk was very cluttered on Tuesday, when I snapped the pic. LOL. I had paper from a couple of projects strewn everywhere and off to the left, food containers, wrappers, coffee cup, etc. Guess it's all a matter of perspective!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad to read you are headache-free, but even happier than you don't have glaucoma.
Purrs from the boys that all the cats find wonderful forever homes. I know people tend to want cute kittens, but as much as I ooh and ahhhh over them, were I going to adopt again, it likely would be a mature cat or two, or hard-to-adopt black cats, seniors, etc.
One day I'll have to post a photo of my *normally cluttered* desk (of course this is at home and not at work)and there is always a cat or two on top of everything else.
DeleteI too hope that Barney, Clyde, and Faith find wonderful homes. They are very nice cats... and all are only about 2 years old.
I hate headaches..I do not know how people with migraines handle it. Glad your finding some relief. Oh those beautiful kitty's...I sure hope they find a loving home. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dee. I do get migraines... one or two a month, but they aren't as severe as they used to be. They affect my eyes and I cannot see for about 15 mins. but the horrible headaches no longer happen (or very seldom). I've been told this is what sometimes happens *with age*. I am not happy with the eye-sight prob as it keeps me from taking any long driving trips on my own, but am very grateful for the other.
DeleteBut this was not a migraine... just a dull headache in the lower back of my head- probably a result of the eye drops...
Those cats! They are hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteAren't they?
DeleteFortunately the headaches are gone, at least I hope so. I don't do well when my head hurts, either. I love your kitty pictures, Rian. I won't go into an animal shelter since it's traumatic for me. I end up crying for days. Glad to hear your eyes are okay!
ReplyDeleteAnimal Shelters are difficult to visit. But the one we have here in Richardson is really nice. It has a large adoption room for the kittens and cats and people come by just to visit and play with them. My grand daughter and I do this in the summer.
ReplyDeleteGlad for the good news, concerning your eyes.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the head ache though. Hope it is gone for good.
Ohhhhh, precious animals. Oh sigh. So hard to not bring them home. I'd not be able to visit. :-)
It is hard not to bring them all home. But I have to believe that 'someone will' and they will be 'taken care of'.
ReplyDeleteoh dear, poor you. Do take care - eyes are irreplaceable and I'm so glad glaucoma isn't a problem for you.
