Tama-Chan: It has been over two weeks since I got sick and I would like to start by thanking all of you for your continued purrs and crossed paws. They bring great comfort both to me and to #1 (she has been a complete basket case...).
So, what is the latest? Well, it is increasingly looking like my heart is not functioning quite as it should. I have started taking both diuretics (Furosemide) and a heart support medication (Benazepril). At the moment, we are still working on adjusting the dosage of the Furosemide, and the Benazepril will take some time to kick in, but I do seem better overall. I am still getting coughing episodes but outside of these, I am pretty much acting like a healthy cat, enjoying being brushed and asking #1 to play with the laser pointer!
And even giving #1 the occasional bitey!
But she still gives me scritches!
The weather has been nice and I have really been enjoying the sunpuddles:
I occasionally turn on the lasers if the boys need to be kept in check:
I am still Queen after all!
The rest of the time, I look angelic...
We don't know if things will ever be quite the same again, but I know I am in good hands between #1 and Dr. C.
I am glad #1 is taking good care of you, Tama! I am purring that the remedies you are taking work for you.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are seeing some improvement, Tama. I hope it continues as the meds kick in. I am purring for you.
ReplyDeleteTama-Chan, we are so glad that you are a little better. We so hope that you continue to do better and that the new meds do their job on you. Sending you lots and lots of purrs. So glad you have such a good mom to take care of you.
