On my way to 63kgs

My heart goes out to you in your worries over your poor kitty and I'm so very glad she seems a bit better today.
 
Thanks for all your concern. She's getting operated on as we speak. She had internal bleeding so looks like she was hit by a car. At least it looks like they will be able to save her.
 
When did your name change to ecky?!? I completely missed that happening! And where's the y gone?!?
 
LOL wonder who'd be the first to notice. I got it changed this morning but I went and spelt it wrong when I asked to get it changed.
I just signed up with my surname as I didn't expect to get so involved with the site but just thought I'd be able to read more stuff if I was registered. Now I don't like the fact that anybody can google my name and read things that maybe I don't want them to read. I know this is a public forum but I'd still rather keep certain things private from some people I know. Korrie kindly got it changed for me.
Oh well Ecky it is now as I'm not going to bother anybody to get it changed again.
 
I couldn't agree more! There are lots of things here that I wouldn't want anyone reading except for you guys...its like we are on a particular journey together and its quite a personal one.
 
Hey ECKY! I like the shortened name! Was getting confused earlier when I would write your name whether such and such letter came before the other...much easier now! lol How's the cat? Hope everything is going well! How are your walks going?
 
The cat didn't move all night and slept with her eyes open which was quite unnerving. I didn't even see a twitch or blink out of her even when we stroked her and I was beginning to think that she was paralyzed but she just stood up shakily when I went in so I expect she will start to recuperate now. She had her "bazo" removed( no idea what it's called in English but it's in the stomach area) because it had been hit so hard it had burst and caused internal bleeding.
Not had a lot of time for walking the last 2 days because of the cat and other commitments but yesterday I didn't get to sit my bum on a seat and relax until nearly bed time so have used up plenty of energy. Eating has been good as I have started to make healthy soups now that the weather is slightly cooler.
I expect a lot of people who's threads I talk in but who don't come to mine will be confused by the new name. :D
 
Hope kitty is better soon--Mine got hit by a car 3 times and kept struggling on to the ripe old age of 17! ancient for a cat! Glad you had such a lovely time away :)
 
Poor thing! My dog was hit by a car a few months ago, I know how hard it is to see your pet suffer.

Love the new name!
 
Yeah, your new name is bound to cause some confusion - I don't think many people actually change their registered name once established here!!

Maybe it was your cat's spleen - that's usually the first thing to burst in an impact sort of accident....

Soups are very healthy and so warming in winter! I am due to switch to lunchtime soups at work soon - much more hearty and filling than a salad.
 
I found out that it was the spleen Jay. She is still just laying there and not moving at all. So sad to see but she is full of painkillers. She's just peeing and staying laying in it until I change her pad which isn't at all like cats and I still haven't seen her close her eyes in 3 days even though she lays there completely still. They had her back on a drip for a couple of hours today so that she doesn't get too weak and dehydrated. She doesn't look in pain and purrs when I stroke her head but looks so helpless. I'm really not a cat person but there is something very special about this one.
Food has been good today and I've kept busy but haven't done any formal exercise.
In a way although I haven't lost any weight for the last couple of months and haven't reached goal weight yet I feel happier about being able to maintain the weight loss for so long. I always knew that I could lose weight but now I'm proving to myself that with very little effort I can now maintain the weight loss. It makes me feel so much happier about myself and I still have the rest of the weight loss to look forward to :D

Sorry bout the cat Ecky!! Proud of u for the weight maintenance! That's great...sometimes it's harder just maintaining than being on the other end...u know? Thanks for the cleaning idea btw! lol! Hope company doesn't mind! =)
 
Thanks, the cat seems slightly better. She still doesn't move much but is a bit more responsive. I think that she'll pull through though.
I'm proud of me as well :D I wasn't sure if I would be able to maintain very easily but it hasn't been difficult :)
 
I was just looking through my diary as I was looking for a certain date and came across the following thread. I had a look and the chocolate eggs are still there hidden away in my cupboard. Chocolate has never lasted that long in my house, EVER :D

Something I just read in another thread reminded me that I have had a big bag of mini easter eggs in by bedside cabinet since easter. I was eating one a day and then totally forgot about them. Wow that is progress to actually forget I've got chocolate. Normally they would have gone in one day. :)

heh. That really is an indicator of just how far you have come!! See if they are still there for next easter!
 
My poor little cat finally died today after a 6 day fight. :(
I've never really been a cat person but this cat was special, more like a dog. Our other 2 cats don't even seem to like us very much but this one we called Puti which translates as slutty as she was always all over us. I can't believe how hard it has hit me. The vet says that the injuries looked as if she had been kicked hard in the stomach. I hope that if that is true that I never find the b***ard that did it as I would want to do them some damage.
 
Awwww that's so sad. I'm really sorry that you're going through that! Nothing else to say really, sad face X
 
Terribly sorry to hear about your cat. We've lost a lot of cats in the last few years for some reason. But it doesn't seem to matter how often it's happened, my kids are always devastated.

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you...:grouphug:
