In July of 2007, I my legs went numb and by September of 2007 I was unable to work. I was insufferable pain. I learned in October 2007 that I have Small Fiber Peripheral (Diabetic) Neuropathy. The one reason and the only I got out of bed was my cats. I would wake up to sandpaper kisses from Kiva or Kyley would be sitting on my chest purring. I thought was the rescuer when I took them in October of 2006. Little did I know that the girls would be my lifesavers a year later. As many of you know nerve pain can make you about not going. At that time my cats give me reason to go on.

P.S.
Now Kyley is no longer the cute little kitten that wakes me up with purrs. She head-butts awake but I love her.
