So do you think I should skip it? I don't want to do anything that might hinder my potential healing!! Why would they add all that stuff in??

And it all just arrived... less than 24 hours after I ordered it! Amazon is amazing....
And speaking of Amazon purchases, if your cat is anything like mine you don't need to buy it toys... give her the ring off of a gallon milk jug or a pony tail holder. Either one is worth hours of entertainment around here :-)
