<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>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.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>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.)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>I brought him
home.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>We will make him comfy for a
bit.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>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.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>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.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>Hugs to you
all,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>Bev &
John</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=verdana,sans-serif>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.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
