Photo: Thanks to advocacy efforts led by two different people on my behalf, my cat, Miss Cleo was allowed to visit me during my stay at the Central Vermont Medical Center (CVMC) late last year (2024).
Since having been diagnosed with, among other things, a malignant cancerous colon tumor while at CVMC for two full weeks late last year, I have been the recipient of a priceless wealth of kind and generous encouragement as well as support that has taken many forms, including deliveries of food (e.g., freshly homemade omelets and scrambled eggs as well as, recently, breakfast and a half dozen donuts from the Wayside Restaurant and so on).
This is what I term as going the gracious extra mile and beyond.
Everyone who has done so, has my deepest gratitude.
It means a lot and is highly valued by me as well as has made a huge difference in my quality of life and has contributed to my growing positive outlook on life.
It helps to know that I am respected, loved and valued by so many caring souls within the community as well as state that I cherish and have called home since moving here in 1991 (with the exception of one year spent living in the Northeast Kingdom).
Thank you so very much.
It is hoped that you know who you are.
Bless each and everyone of you for making this the community and state what it is.
I would never want to live anywhere else. Truly.
NE Kingdom counts... : )
Thanks for the update, and for all that you do.
I hope Miss Cleo can have some more visits with you. I know that visits from my cats would do more to lift my spirits than just about anything else if I were in a similar situation.
Clarification
That particular photo and visit was from late last December, when I was at the hospital for a full two weeks. Have been home, with Cleo, since being discharged; both that visit and being home with her has been great medicine, none better, imo.
Understood.
Have faith in the cat goddess....
Your recovery is assured. : )
Definitely.
Indeed.
