[Dailydrool] NIGEL: PLEASE NOTE

[Beverly Szaton]

Yesterday I took Nigel as an emergency to the U of WIsconsin. The trip would
have been hilarious in another context and maybe someday it will be anyway.
The neurologist and orthopedist examined him and did xrays and determined
that there is NOTHING that they can do for him. Surgery will not, in all
likeliehood, work. He is in a less than 5% group for whom surgery is
helpful-- not even curative but helpful. Unfortunately, Nigel is also
completely incontinent. He is also very snarky.(Not that I blame him.)
I brought him home.
We will make him comfy for a bit.
And then he will join his Mother, Zelda, and he can go tracking again and
she can be reuinited with one of her children. There is no timetable on
this. My husband is shattered beyond imaging. He needs time.
Thank you all for your drool and cards, and thoughts, and love and caring.
It has been so appreciated. I wish I had better news for you all. I wish I
had better news for Nigel.
Hugs to you all,
Bev & John
PS. We have NOT put Nigel down yet. I am not sure when this will happen.
Soon, but I do not want to rush John, who is so crushed.
