Average Thursday

I stopped by the vets office last night after work.  Come to find out she has been off.  That would explain the lack of a response to my email and to the mail order pharmacy.  However, she is back today.  I left a message and also followed up with an email.  I was promised a response today.  It’s a few minutes after 3p and thus far no response.  I anticipate that I will hear something later this evening.  If that isn’t the case I will be really disappointed and also pissed.  Patience is a virtue and something I don’t have, good thing I’m not a doctor. 

I got quite the scare this morning.  Momma acted like she was losing her appetite and wasn’t interested in food at all.  I had to coax her and really push to get her to eat.  Thankfully it worked.  I hope that she was just being stubborn and this isn’t a sign of things to come.  While I am told they can miss up to 4 meals total and that is when you should panic.  I panic when they miss just 1 meal.  Everyone is eating and I am thankful for that. 

Momma looked like today was a bit of a struggle so I picked out a slightly larger pill for her, in the hopes it would drain more fluid and make her feel better.  Fluid is still pooling in her body but it’s not to a major point yet.  She does appear to be larger, but when you pick her up she weights around the same 5 pounds. 

We spent time together last night and once again I got to the point where I was nodding off so I had to wake her up and put her in bed so that I could go to bed.  I held off for as long as I could but still wound up waking up in the middle of the night.  I’d love to sleep 8 full hours straight, like a deep relaxing and refreshing kind of sleep.  I don’t know that will happen while I have a worry or at least a concern on my mind. 

I’ve got a meeting with the boss man in a bit.  It’s just a touch point kind of thing that we do once a month so he can voice any issues/concerns and I can do the same.  It’s usually a 5 to 10 minute call where we go off topic because there is hardly ever anything to discuss. 

The weather is a ugly story.  It had iced over night but thawed a little bit and the road crews did an okay job.  It was raining on the drive in and you had to keep an eye out for ice, but I didn’t encounter any.  The drive home will be rain turning to snow and that will happen during the commute.  So it will probably take a little longer to get home, unless people panic and leave early.  There are a fair number of closings so that will help ease traffic.  It’s supposed to snow overnight as well so tomorrow could be a work from home day for me.  I’d kind of like that, you eliminate the commute and it gives me 2 hours back to start my weekend early.  It’s a wait & see situation. 

That’s all I know for now.  I’m sure I will have more news tomorrow.  Stay warm, be safe and we will talk again soon.  I appreciate you stopping by!
