Got an update from Ian. Boo's liver enzymes especially the ggt are high. He's getting a medication brought home.

According to Google:

GGT is also important in nitrogen metabolism and is found within liver cells. High levels indicate bile duct obstruction, liver disease, pancreatitis, Cushing’s and can be caused by high levels of steroids. Low levels indicate starvation and malnutrition.

We can rule out steroids and the sentence about low levels. Vet didn't mention pancreatitis (something Ian and I have experience with Pywhackett nearly died with it and our Joey died in the hospital getting treated for it when a brain tumor was discovered when he had seizures).

The medicine is to rule out infection and we're waiting to hear from the radiologist. He's here with us and we're hoping it's just an infection.

I woke up with a headache and my day got worse from there.

Boo cat, aka Mushi, my fifteen year old cat that I've had for the longest even though Jasper is much older. Had two poops in a row, where he vomited at the same time and the poops had blood in them.

We called the vet as soon as they opened but it was his surgery day, so they scheduled us for noon. We put Boo in the carrier and then about 20 minutes into the 45 minute drive get a text that the surgery is running late so... We have an appointment at 2:30.

So now I'm playing the waiting game. I didn't go with because my headache is getting worse and Mushi will scream the whole damn time.

Trying not to dwell on all the awful things it could be when it's very likely that he just has a bug or had constipation and hurt himself.

He had good numbers in December.

Last week it was warm but now it's cold again but tomorrow it'll be warm.

I know I had other things I wanted to type about but... I am anxious.

Stressed tired and in pain. Meant to take the time to communicate with others and comment today but I ended up getting distracted and now my eyes are barely open.

Inspired by [community profile] adventdrabbles, I will be posting daily prompts at [community profile] 40daysofdrabbles from Ash Wednesday to Easter, prompts will mostly be winter/spring themed things.

Any fandom (minus RPF/Reality TV), pairing or rating is allowed. Feel free to combine with other challenges! Minimum word count is 100 words, but no maximum.

Our first five prompts are now up! Feel free to start writing or follow us incase a prompt jumps out at you!

Or want to suggest prompts? Have questions?



So check out [community profile] 40daysofdrabbles!!



The original purpose [community profile] 40daysofdrabbles is just to write 40 drabbles about whatever you want to focus on, or ask your friends for prompts/ships/fandoms - this is open year-round although it originally started as a personal challenge ages ago for Lent. This still applies if you want to combine the two events.

senior kitty woes

Having a senior kitty with a disease is stressful.

And I don't mean the helping him clean his bum. Or the apoetite stimulant. Or the ordering of several different exoensive cat food varieties to see which ones please his majesty today.

He suddenly was super lethargic. Gums were still pink, his breathing was normal. Mine was not.

And suddenly it hit me.

Hes old. He has kidney disease he could die.

Obviously, age does not have to be a factor, Miso was only five when he died a year and half ago a grief that sometimes hits me just as hard as it did that first day.

I do not want to think about the day thats coming. I want to enjoy the silly Jasper things he does.

I do not want to borrow the grief that will come sooner than I would like. Both Mushi andvSebastian turn 15 this year. Bitsy turns 10 and Nori my youngest turns 6. Time is marching on.

I do not want to dwell and yet...
