Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Hill and water under sky
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

We might actually make that show. Let me know what to look for as it gets closer.

G'night! BTW the Green Bay news just ran a segment on the RNC. It was pretty pro-Bush :)

Worse yet, Kerry screwed up the Michigan/Ohio State war.

*nod* Honestly I'd have trouble evaluating your cat as well, and you know him far better than I. I think at this point the question alters from does it hurt, to will it hurt and will it get worse. He's managed with his condition and a blind eye for several years now as you say, and being in his teens is certainly a factor. There's always a risk with anesthesia and it's significantly increased the older the patient is. However, if it does progress, and it will, because glaucoma is a progressive condition due to the underlying causes, your cat would face anesthesia and a more difficult surgery at an older age. It's a hard question and one that I'm currently faced with with my own cat. Quintus is 13 and hyperthyroid, has been for several years. He's being managed with medication with some difficulty in keeping his blood levels stable, but he's an old cat and the other treatment options (radiation and surgery) are very expensive. When he's not stable, he's a very sick kitty, but when he is, he's happy and playful.
I guess it comes down to will this become the 'better emergency' in the future or can he continue to simply deal with it?

Wai! It's my birthday!
Now if only I didn't have a presentation to give. At least I get my first set of motorcycle lessons today, but Coy just isn't Beren.

Heh. Why don't we just call it "Friday afternoon" and go back to bed?
To: Overtaxed
*grin* sure, 'cause it is Friday afternoon.
Presentation over and free for the rest of the weekend, life is good. I even managed to avoid rhyming(mostly).
