After so much medicine and trips to the vet, poor Teddy is still going downhill. It is breaking my heart. He’s lost so much weight and still has a hard time breathing. We have an appointment for tomorrow, I hope he can make it and they have help for him.
My bathroom is nearly done. I’ll probably have to shower at least once in the guys’ restroom. Ugh! I’ve hated being so scattered, my stuff is everywhere and I had to schlep between my room and their restroom work bags of stuff.
And our poor kitty, Teddy has been having troubles, teeth and blood sugars so my husband has taken the trip through the mountains to the vet to take care of him.
Not to mention, Kali is still getting older and having a hard time with all of it. So lack of sleep is playing hard against ambition.
So I’m trying to be kind to myself for being about a day behind on NaNoWriMo, Reflexion about the Pensées family. So the word count
I’m grateful for my new laptop but have to admit my frustrations of starting over. All my writing in yWriter7 and WriteItNow and Scrivener are stuck in RTF form and tons of work awaits to bring them back to life. So that’s my time lately in a nutshell.
Sadly I have to report I didn’t get but half my word count goal this month. But I had a marvelous time with family and friends, so not really complaining. Just reporting.
While my brother and husband did the vet run. My son and I cleaned. He worked on the out of control mud room. I shampooed the carpets. It was nice not to have furballs in the way. We were successful in our ventures. Now I need to finish cleaning out the shampooer. Yuck!
My natural life in motion.
KB fine-gauge Flexee 20 links. Tie-up starting with Kitchener cast-on. German short-row heel. Cuff two-by-two purl/knit. Stretchy cast-off. Now passed on to charity.
As you may have noticed, I have many names for this feline, and he reenacts
them all at will. Saint Theodore. That’s when he does a CAT scan and finds my
hurty spots and purrs it away. It works like a miracle. Not for others in the
house, but for me, it is true.
Then there’s Teddy, the Terrorist. That is the demon that has decided we
can’t have nice things. No matter how many scratching posts or pads we get, he
chooses the arms of the furniture, even the newest chair. It’s embarrassing to
have scratched up furniture, but he’s the one in charge of our Feng Sui.
Teddy the terrific: That’s the one that is having zoom meetings down the
hallway. No, not the kind people have. The kind of crazy cats and dogs have
running around to show their joy of life.
After three days of antibiotics on board, and Tedster seems back to his
original multi-personable self. I’m so happy he’s back! And the plus is that he
is quite talkative now, and he hasn’t been since he was a kitten. I’m so
delighted!
Well, not for me necessarily. In fact, my day ended looking like this.
For Teddy, it was a horrid day that has lasted 24 hours. After a long trip
in the car (four hours) and a stressful time at the vet, he was tired. So he
slept until I finally started to get to sleep at 1 AM. At that point, he
started drooling again. Chris got up to give him the pain meds. Not one I like
the idea of. Gabapentin.
They told me to video the subsequent seizure so they could tell more about
it. So I got up to follow The Tedster around. He vocalized his unhappiness with
the world for a couple hours. I swear he likes to pace and chat. He told me
about Mariah. Said a lot more things, and sometimes it felt like he said,
‘Anyways.’ So maybe he likes Ms. Carey’s Christmas albums or something? By the
time he was circling the coffee table, it wasn’t so loud as a constant chat. He
finally had said enough. He hopped up onto my lap and fell asleep. 4 AM. I’d
listened and given the support that whole time. I was exhausted. But getting up
from the chair was nearly impossible as tired as I was.
I managed to get back to bed. Wow! Having pets is more challenging sometimes
than having human baby newborns! Or maybe that’s why Septuagenarians don’t have
babies.
My son and I managed to get in a bit of walk. We didn’t make the mile
because Kali got tired. I nearly had to drag her home. We stopped as she caught
her breath. I gave her water. But she didn’t drink. We got back home, and she
crashed on the couch. So I guess she’s next to see the vet. She doesn’t run out
of energy. This is odd. Maybe Teddy kept her awake, too?
Well, maybe I should take the hint and go to bed while I can!
This sweetie scared me to tears this morning. He’s been more vocal than usual. He sounds like a newborn when he cries.
Suddenly he was on the table drooling and running in circles. He fell off the table and still drooling and more chasing his tail, then suddenly he was on the floor seizing.
I thought for sure he was dying. He’s my buddy! No!
Then he calms down. I called the vet and they asked us to bring him in.
He has had a bad tooth infection. So we figured it was back.
Teddy loves to ride in cars. He came to us as a kitten.
My son’s girlfriend was driving from Garden Grove to Reno. She chose to drive at night. Less traffic, cooler. Just as she got into the car this ginger kitten jumped in.
It was too late to see who he belonged to. She did have her mom call around and never found his owner.
He loved the trip. She bought a kitty litter, food and water for him at a pit stop.
He loved the moving trip here five years ago.
I tried to find the picture couldn’t find it. Sorry.
Anyway, he loved the trip to the vet today, in spite of his pain.
The vet said he declined the butt-temp check, he declined the check for the the bad tooth, and he declined the poke for hydration. I think that was kind for he wasn’t about to have any of that!
The vet did manage to give him an antibiotic shot that should last two weeks and she gave us some pain killer if he should be in pain.
The trip home was so nice as he loved watching the world go by or nap.
Now we’re all home and ready to sleep.
On Tuesday my husband had another successful cataract surgery. He got home safely. After that it was downhill for the week.
Teddy started getting sick. He is getting better on the antibiotics.
What I forgot to mention, our poor white mama hen and one of the chicks got taken by hawks.
What a rollercoaster week!
Has had us scared for the last couple days. Falling instead of jumping off beds. Walking around like a drunk. Last night I felt him and he was cold and not moving. He’s about thirteen, so too young to leave this world.
My touching him was irritating. He left my bed for another.
We took him to the vet today. We think it is an inner ear infection. She started him with an antibiotic shot with more drops for us to continue twice a day for the duration. He’s back to eating and drinking.
He loves traveling, even when he’s sick. He got out of the carrier to watch the world go by. Nearly three hours of his favorite pastime. Even if he was the only drunk in the truck. 😉
I have nothing to report today. All is well, bad tooth seems to be behaving properly. Though not as hot as earlier this week, it was still warm enough to be draining. So the day was spent playing games on the phone, or knitting while watching the Jurassic Park trilogy and an early evening siesta. Oh, and I managed two loads of laundry, washing in the morning and drying right now at 9:30. I just didn’t want to add to the heat.
Kali gave me chuckles. She looks at us like we ordered this weather and we should fix it. She lays around all day. Then around 7, she wanted out. The breeze was amazing. I nearly joined her as she frolicked all around the yard. Jumping like a white rabbit all over. I knew if I tried that I’d break a leg, but I enjoyed her romping.
The heat affects the cats a little differently. They find places on the floor to just spread eagle. Teddy (my ginger) loves the towel I have on the bathroom floor in front of the shower. He likes things that are close to his color. Rosey (my black polydactyl) is more like my young kids were. If they were too hot they wanted to snuggle and share the warmth. Ugh! You love the love, but the heat!
The sunset this evening was beautiful but I was too busy to take a picture. I think it is so colorful because of the fires on the other side of the mountains. I feel bad for the people living closer to that mess. Still, it is gorgeous. Maybe it is time to take some pics of everything. Ah, but that would take effort, and there are clothes to fold.
Happy Sunday everyone!
