You are the queen of getting rid of stuff.
I'm watching a thing on document restoration and when the Declaration of Independence & Constitution were removed to be restored, it was a super secret project involving decoy trucks when moving it to a secret facility. The documents were code named "Elvis". So someone got to say "Elvis has left the building" which cracks me up.
Perkins, are they making you figure out the regulating dose for Ozzie on your own? If so, find a new vet! Since you're familiar with this, I suspect you could do it on your own, but really... I've always had Mister Kitty boarded for a few days where they tinker and have glucose ready to go iv if he gets too dangerously low from an experimental dose. Which reminds me, I need to schedule that. I think he's recovered from the evil mystery illness and the maintenance dose needs to be upped cause he's peeing more than usual.

Not really, but kind of. They started him very low, then in 7 days, he'll spend the day with them, to see how he's doing and see if it should go up. That will keep happening for a few months.
I am going to look for a new vet anyway though.
Huh. That's a different approach. I can't say if it is better or worse. MK responded really quickly and clearly, so it probably also depends on the cat.
Oh, I read this article in one of the Chicago papers the other day (don't have a link) about an organ grinder. There are something like ten organ grinders left in the entire country. It also covered the history of organ grinders. From the very beginning (mid-late 1800s) organ grinders were seen as a negative by the press and general population. One reason? Sometimes people would shoot at an organ grinder's monkey but miss and hit a pedestrian instead.
eta for sense-making....
I wish Sondheim in the Park was scheduled for a time I would be in town.

It's actually more care than I got with Sam (the other diabetic cat). I think I'm going to call the other animal hospital near me and see how they would approach things. It really seemed like Ozzie felt better this morning though, which is what matters.
eta: Aurelia, when do you leave?
Huh. My cat just decided to check out Perkins's profile....
He just walked over the keyboard, and your profile came up.
However, he didn't seem too interested in actually looking at it.
