And the good news from the four of us (Lynn [aka “Squatch”], JLA, Joanne D, and myself, SoINeedAName) continues to roll along.
We’re able to post another very good update combining input from phone calls and a visit by a close friend of his, who has been very kind in keeping the info flowing to us.
Paradoxically, one of the most encouraging signs in recovery is when the patient actually starts to complain. So we can conclude that TC is definitely on the road to recovery! It may not be full-throated, but he is voicing his druthers to the staff.
He’s also now taking solid sustenance PO (per os – by mouth), as he’s lost his NG (naso-gastric) tube. While the food may not be as solid as he would like, it is a solid step in the right direction.
(Word has gotten out, and apparently the nursing staff has BANNED anyone from sneaking in any of TC’s infamous bean concoctions from his freezer. They’re worried that the “end” results might set off all the smoke alarms! And who can blame them?)
Good News / Bad News: He does have his laptop back now. But apparently while being stored away it developed some type of glitch, so it’s not up and running … yet. Hopefully he’ll get a geek-head to fix the bugs.
Some just straight good news – the visitor was able to snap a candid shot of TC on Sunday while enjoying watching his beloved Broncos. (She said the beer in the picture is hers, because TC doesn’t drink, I don’t think).
So we’re all glad to see that he’s continuing to make progress, and ask you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers – AND keep those cards and letters coming, addressed as follows …

You are welcome Yvonne.
Great, fantastic, AND awesome news!!!
Kudos to y'all, Nameless, Lynn, Joanne, and JL for your hard work, keeping us in the loop, and maintaining the blog for TC. Glad that he's mending so well, hope he continues getting well. Hugs to you, TC!
Thank you, thank YOU for this.
HAPPY, HAPPY DANCE!!!! So HAPPY to see this UPdate!!!!! I cannot wait for TC to start playing with his ballnof string AGAIN!! SO, so HAPPY for TomCat!!!! And I will be happier still when he makes the trip HOME!!!
Is true when a person starts to complain that means on the next step to mending. This is great news….better than what it was. Improved steps he is going in the correct direction. I won't say right direction….can never have TC on the "right"…lol Thanks for the update.
It's great to hear good news. He is definate;y in my thoughts and prayers. For you all, please keep up the good work…peace.
DAMN! That is great news!
Awesome news! Thanks for the update. Hugzzz…
Wonderful news, thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing this with us.
What wonderful news! Thank you Nameless for writing and Lynn, JL and Joanne for getting the posts up. Progress is slow but steady, but not fast enough for our TomCat apparently. That'll give him the motivation to do all the physiotherapy and stick to all the rules they lay on him ;-). Because it sounds like he's going to be there for a little while longer and you know how anxious cats can get if they feel locked up. Let's hope his laptop is up and running soon and he's allowed on the WiFi. He'll soon be back to his old self then, I assume.
Thanks again for the update.
I knew that is not TC's Bud! I am happy he is getting better and hope he's back soon.
Great news! Thanks for the update.
The four of you rock!!!
Thanks! LOL!
You'll get your color back in no time!
Hey! Hey!! Hey!!! Puddy Tat! We've missed you! It is so great to see you back if only to check in and say "Meow!" for now. Glad too that you were able to get the laptop fixed.
