Radioathon

We had a great time down at Sick Children's Hospital. They had their annual Radioathon with 1010CFRB, 99.9The Mix and EZ Rock. We where on 1010 and 99.9 which was great, it is nerve racking to be on the radio for the first time but I think we did pretty good. Except on "The Mix" when I did the plug for Shania's Fun Fair and gave March 28TH instead of April 28TH ooops my mistake. Some bad news about our cat Whiskey, he has been acting funny lately and not jumping up on things which is very strange for him, because he is a curious cat by nature and is always checking things out. We took him over to the vets yesterday to be checked out. They found a tender spot on his lower back when he gave them a very nasty hssss. The Doctor recommended xrays and Shania asked the Doctor if he is going to get a cat scan :) We dropped him off early this morning and headed down for the radioathon. When we got back home the Doctor called and told us that Whiskey has a broken Femur at the ball Joint. She said that the surgeon said that this particular type of cat can have a predisposition to this kind of problem, and that he will have to have surgery to either pin the Femur head or do a Femoral head Excision which is the removal of the head of the Femur. We asked for 3RD and 4TH opinions from other surgeons and they are recommending that he has the Excision done, just because it will most likely happen again. They say that he will be able to walk normally and not have any problems. My concern is what if he breaks the other hip? We have until Friday to decide what we want to do, this being the first opening he has for surgery. On a better note the tickets for Shania's Fun Fair are in now hot off the press! We are trying to get a rough estimate as to how many people are coming so we can gauge how much supplies we'll need. So get your tickets early if you can please.
Thanks,
