I'm so very sorry to hear the surgery and MRI are so expensive even with
the insurance you have.
We are sending lots and lots of healing purrs and best wishes for your
knee, Dan,

Everybody must have been sending some very impressive purrs this last
week. Today I'm walking with hardly any limp and very little discomfort.
If things keep progressing the way they have I'll have no need of
surgery or MRI.
Everybody who sent purrs my way, thank you very much.
