Wednesday Worries

Da Beebs: Mee-Yow, everyone. I am remotely posting from my hospital bed to give you a bit more of an update on my condition. As you know, things started going downhill again for me as soon as #1 returned from Switzerland, and by Monday, I was barely eating. With #1's car in the shop and the loaner being tiny, Mr. G and Ms. N very kindly offered to drive #1 and me to Dr. C's for my scheduled blood test.

#1 was seriously worried. In fact, she was so worried that she thought Dr. C would tell her that there was nothing more to be done. But she did not. She told #1 that she still had a few tricks up her sleeve and wanted to try them. #1 mentioned that she was going to England from Sunday to Thursday of next week, and the decision was made to hospitalise me there and then. I am going to need drips and sub-Qs and it will be easier to do all that if I am at Dr. C's. #1 had thought to take one of my blankies along so I have something soft and familiar to sleep on.

Oh, and you know how they talk about adding insult to injury? Well, guess what? I also appear to have a case of ringworm. Really!

On the way to the vet's, #1 decided not to be put me in my carrier but to put on my Puppia harness and have me on her lap as she was not driving. I really enjoyed the ride, and being able to look out whilst safely in #1's arms.

We passed through some small towns:

Look at all those houses!

The wide, open road!

Dr. C was in surgery whilst we were waiting. I decided to go and sit in the sun on the scales. Bad move. I have lost all the weight I had gained...

Ms. K, the vet tech, was preparing my luxury suite. In the meantime, I waited in the waiting suite. That's my blankie.

Dr. C's first order of priority is to reduce my urea and creatinin, which spiked since my last test. She says that's why I didn't want to eat. #1 is bringing some of my favourite foods today when she comes to visit so that I have something nice to eat when my appetite returns. Dr. C did call #1 yesterday even to say that I was comfortable and quite chipper.

So that's it folks. I am pretty sick, and I am trying to claw my way back from the edge, with #1's support and Dr. C's help. I really appreciate all your support, purrs and crossed paws, here and on Facebook. We will keep you updated.
