Snakes and puzzles, oh my. Guess what, I used to have a Rosie Boa and took care of a California King snake for our school over vacation time once. The King got loose in the house, which scared the h___ out of my mother. I found it in my closet under a piece of luggage. Thank heaven our heat ducts were all high on the walls, or we might have lost it forever. A little off subject here, but oh well. As to the girl, I guess you should just continue with your present mode of operation. She probably just isn't ready for a permanent commitment. Anyway, Good Luck.

She sounds a little fickled to me. How old is she? Perhaps it is just immaturity. Strange-garden is right though. The more you chase, the faster she will run.

Well, saw the surgeon and it seems that the herniated disc (Note: I have corrected the spelling. Should have done some research before posting.) is the least of my worries. I have a relatively advanced case of cervical stenosis as well. My spinal canal is less than half the diameter of a normal canal and is pinching my spinal cord for about the distance of 5 vertebrae in my neck. The only way to relieve it is to do a laminectomy. The herniated disc is complicating things by pressing against the already compressed spinal cord. Of course now I am faced with 2 surgeries. Removal of the herniated disc, with use of bone from my hip to fill in the empty space left, and fusing of the bones from a frontal entry. Then from the back, the laminectomy. Ain't that a hoot?Of course, I could choose not to have surgery, but, then, according to the surgeon, I am then faced with the possibility of becoming a quadriplegic if the narrowing process damages the spinal cord. Or a sudden jerk, movement, jolt, or whiplash or such causes damage to the spinal cord. This is a scarey thought. However, I think I may seek another opinion on the probablility of this happening.

I recently had a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) done on my cervical spine because I have a nagging pain radiating from my neck down my arm to my thumb. The day after, my doctor called me to inform me that I have a herniated disk in my neck that is pressing against my spinal cord. This is probably the source of the aggravation. He wants me to see a surgeon. I conceded a visit with his referal, but will not entertain the idea of surgery on my neck. Especially since I know the surgeon would be going through from the front to tackle the disk. I would hope there is an alternative to surgery for I am not looking forward to that possibility any too soon. I will wait until the pain is unbearable. My husband has 3 herniated disks down lower in his back from a fracture of his spine. He won't have surgery until he cannot walk. He was given this advice by his surgeon because the outlook for surgery helping him is not in his favor; 33% good results, 33% no results and 34% worse results (unable to walk). When he cannot walk, he won't have that much to lose. His injury has been handled with extensive physical therapy which has helped even to control some of his pain. The funny part of this whole story is that I have not had any recent injury to my neck. My only serious injury was some time ago when I was kicked in the face by our pony. It really messed up my face; broken nose and occipital orbit as well as a cerebral concusion. This is the only whiplash-type injury I have ever suffered. Now I am wondering if all the pain I have had in my neck all these years has been this silly disk all along. And, now, somehow the protrusion has finally gotten large enough to press against my spinal cord hard enough to cause such terrible pain down my arm. I guess that is a question for the surgeon when I see him this Thursday. Has anybody else had problems with herniated disks? How did you contend with this problem? Did you have surgery? What was the outcome?

I would be careful of using anything out of a medicine cabinet on a cat that licks. It might ingest something that is poisonous to it. Calamine lotion is good for human itches, but contains zinc and iron oxides that may upset kitty's tummy. You should really consult a vet about putting anything on the "hot spot". There are meds for such things that won't interfer with kitty's system.
