Update on Momma

Once again her name rings true, she is Lucky!  Apparently something bite her elbow and that is what caused the swelling.  There is in infection and a huge red line that shows it’s spreading.  A couple more days and she would have been in serious trouble.  Thankfully my observant and obsessive behavior paid off in a large way and she got to cash in another life.  This is either a cat bite or a spider bite.  I was told to go home and vacuum and I did just that to my room.  I had skipped it last weekend because they were all resting.  Next time I am going to kick them out.  I don’t think she would have gotten into a squabble with Gator and Marvin is whipped so he wouldn’t fight his own mother.  This had to be a spider bite.  Not that I want it but I would rather have it bite me than one of the cats.  Whatever it is I am fairly confident that Momma killed it.  

The vet gave her an injection of antibiotics and I have to monitor her and check the line and see overall how she is doing.  We should be all set in two days if the antibiotic is going to be able to kill the infection, if things are worse then she will need to go back and that will mean more money flying out of my pocket.  Speaking frankly with the vet I have maybe the rest of the year left with Lucky pushing beyond that is probably stretching things.  However, that’s not to say it’s not possible.  The way she is going through her lives she is close to running out of them. 

I was surprised they are renovating the vets office from top to bottom.  Looks like my money is being put to good use.  I think my name should be on a wall for all of the thousands of dollars they have milked out of me over the years.  However, I know I am not alone. 

Now pay day can’t come fast enough for me.  I need a cash infusion so that I can give money to the credit cards and pay the other bills.  Mentally I am freaking out but in doing some math I see that I will be okay.  It’s just expenses are adding up.  $100 for pants.  $100 for the vet.  $$ for a massage and another $100 for Amazon Prime.  It seems I am spending money faster than I am making it, which is a very bad thing. 

Now on to supper and resuming a normal evening.  I got a couple extra hours which is kind of nice.  Kind of wish I would have stayed home though but overall I’m happy with the decision I made they seem to have paid off and my momma got the care she needed.
