Laura, that's got to be hard/weird, to have such a sudden change to something that feels so intrinsic to a person's personality. Dang.
I slept oddly--had horrible dreams about gangsters chasing me and being in some sort of horribly written trashy British chick-lit novel like I hate, where I was all excited about somebody texting me and wanted to pause to look at it whilst being chased by the gangsters. Etc. (Later in the dream we discovered the dude we thought we'd killed, the head gangster, was actually alive, while we were....trying to do something with the body, after getting away from his minions?? And had to try to convince him we meant him no harm and it was all good because he was alive).
Wow, meara, that doesn't sound like restful sleep at all!
Laura, that's got to be hard/weird
Mostly it comes as a surprise to me when it happens. I can't say it is really unpleasant, just that it is such a departure from the Laura I know. Good thing I can fast forward through the heart pull commercials. The people I am snappy with probably deserve it. (smiley face)
{{{Laura}}} That is a lot. Take care of you.
Good morning, Fred. How is Arthur doing?
We're at the roller coaster stage. He was doing pretty poorly over the weekend, but we think it was too-high doses of the immune suppressant. And then his bloodwork showed positive for toxoplasmosis. It's treatable by antibiotic, but the most common treatment is hard on the kidneys. So the vet had to research the most effective treatment that doesn't harm the kidneys.
Arthur starts the antibiotics today, and we're probably looking at the week of the 21st at earliest for the transplant. Wisconsin has found a donor, but they're upset with the complications.
Oh, and Marie may be in the early stages of kidney failure. She has other health issues that may prevent a transplant. On the other hand, she's almost 16, so she's had a pretty good run.
Ugh, I'm sorry for the delay, but Arthur does need to be in the best possible condition for the transplant.
Much cat health~ma, Fred.
Kitty~ma, Fred.
Eye~ma for bonny. I have heard of that before. Bodies are gross.
I have a theory that steroid drugs make one more emotionally volatile. But IANAD.
I slept horribly last night too. Bad weird dreams, waking up sweaty. Ugh.
I didn't even know that someone could do that for a cat.
I win at dreams, though. Had kind of a dirty one about Boyd Crowder--still haven't blown up or robbed anything, but it's early.(Would have to change my shirt, also, as this shirt says "I'm not insane, my mother had me tested," and, while I generally like the meta, maybe that's a little incriminating?)
-ma for all who needs it. I'm really happy that Art lived, after losing Will Gardner earlier this month, I'm not sure if I could mourn fictionally again, right now.
The Colbert Report should be interesting tonight...
