I’m catching up with your comments, slowly.
I managed to accidentally delete one because of the quirky way this laptop does tasks if your mouse accidentally strays over a spot to click to do a task. Well, I accidentally moved over one that said “Trash” while trying to reply to that person. If you are that person, please write back! [NOTE: They did, and I appreciate it because the comment was thoughtful and cheered me up!]

Dougy and Andy are much more “chatty” than they were before. I guess they realize they need to speak up or I will go away again. Or they just need an overdose of loving to make up for me being away for such a long, long time. Doesn’t matter. I am glad to give them all the loving them need!
Poor little fellows, though. All that attention they want from me is tiring them out, and both are sleeping while I type this blog. The first night, though, they literally kept me up all night. Now, they are a little less needy, but spend the night climbing on my bed to see how I am or, in Dougy’s case, to lie next to me for a little snuggle. He purrs when he does that.
One thing I’ve noticed about them now: When I pick them up, they both purr. Before, they might purr. Now it is every time! Yeah, they are happy to have me home!

I still am unable to figure out what the problem is with my PC. I hope to work that out so I can get back to posting new photos of the boys. I don’t kid myself. Most of you read this for the kitty pictures and videos, not to learn about me! [Awwwww! Is Doug having a pity party….?! LOL!]
Also, my lame attempts to put kitty pictures [ =(^+^)= ] in the blog are in recognition of who the Internet minor cat celebrities are, and I am not one of them!
Angy and Dougy are really sincere and loving friends and their tender behavior for you brings comfort..
The computers are not fiable 100% and , like the garden, teach us patience . I am not a fan of the lap top because I often mess with the key ( the same for the cell phones )
I am glad to see again your post on the screen, Doug.
In friendship
Michel
That’s exactly the problem I have with them. Still unable to use my PC, though, so must become patient….!
Aww…I see…you have admitted to yourself, as mom has, that your kits are the stars and you are the silent partner that does all the work. MOL
Shoko
Exactly! You got my number and that of the kitties, too!
Oh no, I was worried about you and hoped that nothing serious had happened, specially since you disappeared.
I am glad to see you back.
I am sure you being in hospital has made the dougy and andy realize how important you are to them. Well at least if they purr now when you hold them, is a sign that is always welcome. 🙂
Serious enough and certainly life changing….! The boys are staying close to me at any rate, and Dougy is on his ottoman, asleep.
Good to see you in good spirits! The Cats and crew of Salmon Brook Farms sends a big “Meow” to you, Dougy and Andy. 🙂
Received! I’m in a bit better mood for finally getting a copy of the Medicare card asked for. Takes four weeks (!) to get one. Now…United Health Care, you are in my sights for telling people I don’t have supplemental through you when you take a premium out of my checking account each month by auto debit!
Well, I’m following the blog to hear about you, not so much the cats. I think a lot more people than you might think are following your blog for that reason.
Well, I do get some mention since I write it…!
Hi Doug,
I see you are slowly getting back into it. Don’t over do 🙂
I’ll take your advice, Chris. I think I will blog on non-dialysis days for the time being. Got my Medicare card problem resolved, though it will take four weeks to get it. Now, to hold United Health Care to the wall for telling hospitals (and others?) I don’t have supplemental when they take a premium payment from my checking account every month buy auto-debit.
Welcome back! x
Thank you! G;lad to be back1
Doug, just because followers were first attracted to your blog because Andy and Dougy are so cute, doesn’t mean that is the only thing we’re interested in.
Purrseidon & Mr. M are joining in to send healing purrs to you. (And, I also, realize that the furry ones are the stars of my blog 😉
I just gauge things by how much the blog grew once the boys came into my life….!
Posts about Purrseidon get the most views, comments and likes.
I believe that. I feel the same goes for my kitties.
Doug, we DO like to read your stories. With kitties and without (I do like those of the olden days you post now and then, too!).
I am glad the kitties are enjoying kitty-time with you. They will for sure miss you while you are at your dialysis. I am not well at the mo and kept to my bed most of the day – and the tom came up to have a look how I was and snuggled on my lap (he is a huge boy!) and right now he sits on the window sill in the living room and watches me. The female stayed with me on the bed most of the day. But with her I assume she wanted to make sure to seize the bed when I left it … she usually has the bed to herself when I am at work.
Sorry you aren’t well. If I live closer, I’m make a Krankenbesuch (if I remember the German word correctly).
Yes, the kitties give us pleasure, but the have their agendas too!
No Krankenbesuch, Dougie, I would have to clean up first … and take a shower and wash my hair … Krankenbesuch only when people are in hospital or don’t live alone. 😉 But thank you for the sentiment!
I’d have to do the same, so I’ll settle for a written wish for your restored health!!
😉
It may have been my comment that got deleted because I don’t see it, but I just looked quick and you have a lot of comments. I had said welcome back! I was very concerned when you were not posting until another blogger showed my a blog post with the rehab. address. I sent you a card, but it came back because you were no longer at that place. I will keep you in my prayers . I am sure Dougy and Andy are thrilled to have their Dad back.
You are the one whose comment got deleted, so I’m g;lad you wrote back so I could thank you properly for thinking of me and for the card that didn’t make it to me. I enjoyed those that came a lot since I was pretty isolated from my daily circle for most of the time.
So glad to have your posts in my reader again Doug!
I’m trying for at least one on the four days a week I’m not in dialysis, but that might be too ambitious for the moment.
Take your time! 😊😊😊
You and CB ( contrafactual ) both recommend that, so I’ll be a good boy and try not to rush things.
😊😊😊
Glad to see you back I have missed the pics of those great kitties….chuq
Thanks! Unfortunately, I have PC problems, and that is here the software for dealing with photos is. This laptop is a poor substitute for the PC, but it is what I have. Hope to resolve the problem sooner than later.
I am a electronic dumbass….I wish I could help…..good luck
I think it may have to go to the shop. Too much hassle for the time being….!
I call my granddaughter…..LOL chuq
I haul it an hour south to Staples, not as convenient a solution….
It is good to have a grand kid that is a techno geek…LOL
I have two cats. I guarantee it isn’t as helpful…..!
I know…I have two dogs and they are of no help either…LOL
LOL!
So glad to have you back
I have been checking in from time to time
I hope all is well
As always Sheldon
Much better, Sheldon, and your blog is one I messed. I find it always inciteful and interesting!
It will take me some time to get completely back on track, but I hope to update it t least on days I don’t have dialysis (on three days a week, probably Monday, Wednesday, and Friday – it’s being worked on). All is hectic but I’m slowly getting back to normal routine.
Oh buddy
If ever I good give you a hand
Trust me I would be there
Stay with it
You know where to find me
Any time day or nite
The Sheldon Perspective
The way it should be and the way it was for me this time. Lots of people helped in many ways and for that I am very grateful!
You’ll get there, Doug.
Dougy must have sensed I came to your comment because I clicked on it at the some moment he stopped by for a good head rub and scritching.
Yeah, I’ll get there, just slowly!
