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.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, Kathy, you're looking fantastic! I'm so happy for you!

Thanks, y'all!!
I just realized that I seem to be having my update photos taken every 55 pounds lost. That's been the distance between these first three sets, and I won't have another set of pics taken until my brother's wedding at the end of August, when I'm hoping to be down about another 55 pounds! (I'm figuring that the weightloss will start slowing down in a month or so, going from 5 pounds/week to 3-4.)
