It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I feel like that should be the point of a pain clinic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Right? It's been how many fucking years for ita?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ita, it's beyond my understanding how the pain management clinic won't try to help you with the pain you are clearly in.

Yeah. WTF are they there for, then?

Got a call from the vet: looks like he's brewing a UTI, which could have caused a cascade. Liver and kidney numbers are up. That could be in response to UTI/sugar crash, or just indicative he's old and diabetic (looked it up, earliest record I saw referencing db was 2003, but that was a boarding receipt, not diag. So at least 8 years.) And he's been around since '92 or so.

I hope they can cure the UTI quickly, sarameg, and get Mr. Kitty back on his feet.

Because books.

Aw, I'm sorry, sara. Sounds like a good thing you took him in.

Kitty-ma for Mister Kitty, sara.

I wish ita's doctors made some sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure what any of my doctors are for at this point.

I hope the vet gets right on what's up with Mr. Kitty, sara.

What everyone is saying for both ita and sarameg.

Kitty~ma for Mister Kitty!

IcompletelyON, if anyone is interested, I have a few updated pictures for my progress:

Me one week post-surgery, around 35 pounds lost

Me on Super Bowl Sunday, 2 1/2 months post-surgery and 90 pounds lost

Side view on Super Bowl Sunday.

Me today, nearly 5 months post-surgery and 143 pounds lost.

Side view from today.

And a close-up of my face.
