I have this image of your surgeon placing the excised tissue on a scale for weighing, then conveniently turning his back--whereupon a masked orderly sneaks up to the scale with a hypodermic needle, and injects enough saline solution into the tissue, to bring the weight up to 500 grams (which, of course works out to be maybe 20% more than the contents of a standard vegetable can.)

Insurance company and HMO rules leave you shaking your head. Haven't they figured out yet, that every individual is different?

dear Moreschi,

I wanted to upload a little get well soon present.

It was a .mp3 file of Moreschi singing Eva Maria by Bach Gounod.

That did not work, because the file was 2,99MB, only 2Mb are allowed so it was too large.

Then I chose the same song sung by Randu Marian, that was only 1,29MB.

That did not work because it seemed to be the wrong file type. :nutsycuck

This whole action cost me at least 15min.

Maybe dear Paolo or Talula will make an exception

Dispite that it did not work let me tell you that I wish you well.

kisses Antonia xxx

Yeah I know! They approved it WITHOUT a grams removed "promise" in the original note so......

I found out today at my first check-up that they removed 302 grams from the right and 300-some from the left. I dunno how they work out grams removed but I guess they must get into big trouble if they lie.......

Oh- and I did see "them" today- without the "bra", tapes, etc. They stand up by themselves still. lol Much smaller. I put on a tshirt that was tight through the chest before and now its not. Unfortunately, now my stomach sticks out!?!?! lol I thought working out had taken care of that... I call it my "neutered cat ponch". Oh well...... Back to the gym one of these months.

That reminds me, Andrew: Your kitties- they are cat-stratos too?! lol

ROFL I sort of can sing that actually. I have both files actually. Just got the Marian one last week. Had the Moreschi one for 10 years or so. I think Moreschi's is much more- mellow-dramatic. lol

Thank you for the well-wishes and the hugs.

Liebe Antonia,:D Schick mir dein FILE, und ich werd' es verfugbar machen.

O yes. I get my senior cats from adoption agencies, and they already came castrated. (I use the term "castrated" in its older, tradional meaning, to mean the removal of the gonads from either males or females.

Although with two or more cats, I think that would be cat-strati, if we are thinking Italian.

Oops! This is true. I knew that. You will have to forgive me though- my mind is mush lately being on pain meds after surgery.
