I also have sad news this morning. Yesterday morning, my cat Joey was listless and showed a very un-Joeylike lack of interest in breakfast. The vet did some bloodwork and found his kidney values were off the charts.
Joey was promptly sent to an emergency hospital and hooked up to an IV. Through the evening, he showed small encouraging signs of improvement. But around midnight, his kidney values worsened and he developed trouble breathing. A few hours later, his breathing was getting worse. At 5:15 this morning, Joey was put to sleep.
Joey was the kidney donor for Arthur. He was 7 years old.
Dana, your meeting needs a soundtrack involving circus music.
I'm so sorry about Joey, Fred.
chrismg, I'm glad you're OK and that insurance is being reasonable for now.
sara, oh no! I'm so sorry. Quick healing~ma for your mom, and don't get on the last nerve~ma for your mom and dad.
Fred, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Fred.
Good luck to your parents, sarameg. I totally get the spray-paint the offending curb urge. It's probably worth doing, too!
Dana, your meeting needs a soundtrack involving circus music.
Yes!
I managed to leave my umbrella in the car WHILE IT IS RAINING because I am that talented at forgetting my umbrella. I usually forget it somewhere after it has stopped raining, so I feel like I have achieved a new level.
Alas, poor Joey. Bless thy tiny toe beans.
Stay safe today, everyone.
Hahaha -- I just got an email from what I think is not my current health insurance company asking if I might need therapy because it's February. Hmmm.
