Faraday: What, Allie? Wha'd I do? I'm just hanging out with my harness and stuffs.
You're just sore because you're inside and I'm out here.
Allie: Well, yes. But that's not what I'm talking about.
Don't you see what you did over there?
You stepped on a crack.
Faraday: So ...? I fails to see the problem, Allie.
Allie: Don't you know anything, Brat? That's why Mother's back has two fractures.
YOU DID IT.
Faraday: Uhhhh ... *gulp*
Maxwell: You'd better come in, dood. Now.
You know, before you break Papa's back, or something.
Wait. Allie risks that every time he picks up her massive --- OW! OW!
Fine. I was just going....
Not to worry, Faraday. You're not to blame (a bit of overenthusiastic kickboxing, maybe, but not you).
I know we've been a bit scarce recently, and this is one of the reasons why. After opinions, second opinions and a trip back to Mayo in mid-October, they discovered bilateral fractures in the lower back/SI area. So that's what's been causing all the pain!
We'll spare you the details but it's all connected to the stuff Mayo diagnosed earlier in the year and plans are underway to get our mom back to bouncing off the walls again (heaven help us) real soon.
In the meantime, we're avoiding any and all cracks in the sidewalk. Just in case.

Sending get well purrs for Mom! No more cracks!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get some relief, sending healing thoughts.
ReplyDeleteEgads...fractures in the spine! Now that you know, the healing can begin. I feel sorry for poor Faraday...Allie, you are mean!
ReplyDeleteOh Dear! Still, Allie, it's not very nice to blame Faraday for it!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
Glad to know they finally figured it out! Faraday, she's playing with your brain cells...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it took all those fancy doctors so long to figure that out. I hope your human is all fixed up soon!
ReplyDeleteouch - sending lots of healing purrs
ReplyDeletePurrs for your Mom!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. At least with knowing perhaps relief can be achieved. We are all sending you positive thoughts
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, that sounds painful. Paws crossed your mom feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Back issues are never a good thing. Mom and I just went to the chiropractor this morning as her back was all messed up and mine always needs adjusting. Hope you are bouncing off walls again soon!
ReplyDeletedood...due knot listen ta yur sisturr......N we iz sorree mom haz crazed bonez.... we hope de clinic helpz mom soooper soon N herz bak ta all that bouncin bye ...decmburr....17th !! ♥♥♥♥♥ sendin best fishez her way ~~~~
ReplyDeleteA kitty curled up on the sore spot is the best heating pad ever created, unless you want to lay on your back, then something flatter works better. We hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour poor mom! And I cannot believe what you insinuated about Allie's weight, Maxwell. I'd sleep with both eyes open for quite awhile!
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for your mum. I still try to avoid stepping on cracks!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon, that does sound painful.
ReplyDeleteOh no! We're purring for your mom and hoping she is better soon.
ReplyDeleteUGH! I am so sorry to read this. Back pain is one of the worst. I had back surgery a few years ago and the result was incredible. I hope it goes as well for you!
ReplyDeleteYikes, what a thing to find. Mum knows all about the Mayo place, hope they get your mum fixed.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, so many wisecracks. But the back cracks....ouch! I hope your Mom is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteDang. We're so sorry to read this! Sending lots of fervent purrs and prayers. We hope your mom is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteWe hope your mom is feeling better soon ! But Allie, it's not nice to blame Faraday for it, and Maxwell, it's not nice either to let us think that Allie is so overweight that she could hurt your dad's back ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteAllie, don't make Faraday feel bad for your mom not taking it easy and overdoing it..
ReplyDeleteI hope she takes this seriously and relaxes.. even though I know full well she won't. :)
OUCH!
ReplyDeleteSending healing purrs, pawyers and soft aroos for your Mom to get all better soon.
