Aaahhh, poor Mother Bear hope you get on the mend quickly but every cloud has a silver lining and you'll be able to dedicate even more time to answer the questions posed by the good folk on this forum now!
Had to laugh though cos OH had a quick read of your post and said it served you right for shooting cats (he always was a bit dyslexic though not to mention short sighted but I put that down to his age!).
Get well soon,
Sian
