Timelies all!
Thank you for the words of sympathy. "It's always sudden" works for pets as well as people.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I don't know what it is, but it seems like a whole lot of pets have died in the past week.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Congratulations, Windsparrow! You'd be a benefit to any organization.

Our wings are not tired.
Congrats, Windsparrow! Also, it is so nice to see your font.
PCP didn't yell at me! He was very pleased with my weight loss and BP, and generally supportive of the health choices I am making. I mean we are talking 30 pounds in 6 months, which is so absurdly slow and frustrates me to no end. But ya know if I am down another 30 in the next 6 months that would be cool. Of course he wants me to have a variety of tests, but that is generally how he rolls, so I agreed to about half of them. Don't want him to think I'm easy or something.

Laura that’s more than a pound a week, which is amazing! Go you!

Thanks, I hadn't actually thought about it that way. I just want it to be 2 lbs a week. Pout.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Laura, I've always read that losing weight more slowly means you're more likely to keep it off, compared to people who lose it quickly. It's not as exciting, but in the long term it's pretty good.
No major side effects from shot #2; I slept 12 hours last night and feel just a bit run down today, but this is nothing like the side effects from shot #1. I expect I'll feel back to normal tomorrow. Fair trade for those sweet, sweet antibodies.

Ain't that the truth! I was just tired after the 2nd shot. May have just used it as an excuse to nap.
Yes, my doctor feels slow but steady is the way to go. Sigh.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Laura, you are doing great! You are making good choices, and it will pay off.
Thanks, all. I am happy to be home.
I also love the work I do. I love learning how to do it better, I love knowing that as I learn, I do better by the people I support.
