Tears of Relief November 12, 2004

My little furry guy is doing better. (knock on wood) He hasn’t thrown up since yesterday at noon, and he has started showing some interest in food and water. Last night when he ate half a treat and then later when he drank some water from a dripping bathtub faucet the tears began flowing. I really wasn’t sure if he was going to make it this time. Just seeing signs that he was improving was enough to get me bawling. This morning he ate a little canned food and drank some water out of a glass. (My cats have water bowls but much prefer drinking out of people glasses.) I can’t even begin to describe how relieved I feel right now. I know we still have a ways to go, though. It’s tough to get a cat eating and drinking regularly after they’ve gone so long without doing either. It’s frustrating to know that we really don’t know what was wrong with him and so don’t know how to prevent this from happening again, but my focus right now is on getting him all better.

On a different note, I think I need to set up some kind of timer or alarm or something for my Estrace. I’m having a tough time remembering to pop my pills. It’s a lot easier for me to remember having to stick myself with a needle, not that I’m wishing that Estrace came in injectable form.

So, things are looking up a bit. My kitty is doing better, and I’m feeling a little better physically now that my estrogen levels are on the rise. Now if my husband’s case would just settle, we’d be set.
