Thank you, you certainly know it's a long road back. You've had it rough too. I had a rare tumor, it took over nine month's and yes, 69 vials of blood to find out what was happening. They had to find out why I was leaching out copious amounts of calcium out of my bones. It took a long time to track. And I finally got to the point, I was sleeping 22 hours a day. I could barely walk from one side of a room to another. I didn't cook, clean, or anything...but get out of bed take a shower, and go back to bed. I ate when hubby came home and before he went to work. He made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. The calcium was in my blood and kidneys so much, that I got kidney stones, and had to have lithotripsy, surgery...to break them up out of my kidney. Life is what is it is. Don't feel sorry for me, I enjoy each and every good moment, this has strengthen my faith, in God and humanity, I had wonderful and caring nurses along the way. I take nothing for granted, and love every good experience, and savor the time with family.I was also in a bad car wreck 3 years ago, we were t boned. I was the passenger and it was a direct hit to me. I had to be cut out of the car. Now, my collar bone is right below my neck, so my breathing is hampered. But, like a timex, I take a licken and keep on ticken.
Just...wow. And, all that, too.
You're definitely a fighter...!
Better not go anywhere without your umbrella! (And that goes for your flip flip beer run!) 
Thankfully, she's 7, we thought, and vet has confirmed, that she's physically as healthy and active as a 3 year old cat, and the vet says as long as nothing major happens, we can probably keep her going for a long time. She gets more exercise than an indoor cat usually gets (thanks to her randomly running around the house for no apparent reason) and she's a good weight, so she's in very good condition. Vet said the way she's going, she could live until she's 20 or older.
