Hey girls, thanks again for the support. Not sure I'll ever catch up - just had someone call asking if I'd checked my emails and flat out said no my cat is sick and been taking care of him today. I'll answer your email tomorrow. Didn't really care what he thought - Albert's my baby and sorry - more important than frickin' email that I can deal with tomorrow when I start Albert's antibiotic and milder pain med regime. One of his meds (the 3 day one) have to give him middle of the day so going to work from home on monday. Today was essentially no work other than talking to one atty on the phone and a couple of IM's with my assistant.
Albert slept a lot, but hadn't drank any water all day which was worrying me (food don't mind, but water way important) - God they're like our kids, so I took him to his water bowl (bottled water cause couldn't find the one with the electrolites or whatever), he did drink a fair amount and then, of course, bam - it hurt, the whole moaning/crying thing. Glad the vet was smart enough to send me home with another pain shot for him and Shel you would have been proud of me LOL Found that dang muscle and didn't realize how easy it would be - course guess it's harder on a person, but with cat piece of cake and doesn't hurt so long as you inject the med slowly. Albert didn't even flinch. Course was holding onto him, fumbling in the ziplock for the syringe, getting the cap off LOL Anyway, he's in the bathroom curled up behind the toilet sleeping now, but at least he got some water in him.
Guess I thought (again must stop thinking lol) that one trip to the vet, a shot of antibiotics, pain meds and he'd be back to his old self - yeah, I know pretty delusional. Stoy, it did help a lot to read about yours and that it took some time, so I feel better now that he's not immediately better. Of course, I'm also kicking myself now for not taking him in when it first started, but then he was back to his old self so thought just a temp thing. Told the vet that as well (held nothing back - ya have to tell the doc everything!) and she wasn't concerned - said that was normal that it would flare up then be okay, then flare up again though I'm feeling like Mommy Dearest now for not taking him even when he felt good
So talk about a good assistant - as I was typing this she just brought me the bottle of electrolites or whatever the he## they're called because I'm supposed to mix it with Albert's water to flush out things out and, I guess, give him extra whatever they're supposed to do. Dang, I drink water but don't know about no dang electrolites. Just put a few drops in his water so if he gets up in the night and drinks more it's in there. Probably will just sleep and another night without him curled up next to me, but at least he won't be hurting. Totally zonked out now.
So on that note girls, enough about Albert. Any peeps reading this are probably going what's up with that woman and her cat
Annie and Barb hope you both start feeling better soon. Just sucks feeling crappy like that - and yes, Annie, you and Carol have just lame A## agents. Do think if you just paid one of the limited service agents to put on MLS, offer a buyer agent commission you'd do good. Ton of sites out there you can also advertise, so between that, MLS exposure - heck even some FSBO classified ads.
Oh and Carol, look at your listing contract - there should be a hold over clause for people she showed the house to and it has to be someone she actually worked with on it, showed it etc. After that, nada. Hasta la Vista, baby!
Lace, that's cosmic about their birthdays being same day AND hour/minute! I thought it was that my niece and I are 15 years apart, both had our sons at same age, both on New Year's Day 15 years apart, but not the exact same hour! WOW is all I can say. Your prayers certainly worked during your GS birth as he's now a big strapping boy!
Amy, so hows the packing and all that stuff going. Have you got appraisal results back yet - you're the one who was waiting, right? My brain is simply not functioning now, but I did fully disclose lol that when I came back to the camp I might not be all here
Stoy, how's it on your end? Maybe it's you waiting for appraisal LOL just can't remember - do remember you've been packing so got that going for me
Sara, your post made me LMAO and put a big smile on my face; and yeah, we know you like to be on top
Ah, no wonder we always have so many peeps at the camp - record numbers for last camp!
Miss Goldy, thanks for the prayers and hope you're doing good. Was scary and I'm so grateful the vet had experience with 'street cats'. If I would have say taken him down to David like some do, they might not have 'got it' ya know? She was talking about the ones in Boquete (course in Spanish) and I told her Albert was from Bocas. Well she just kind of made the whole Latina motion with her hands like 'well, that explains everything' LOL Still see Albert's relatives when I go over to my Bocas office. God they're probably all inbred too
Poor Albert - who's your daddy?
Roth, hows Miss Sophie and your wine journal coming? Needless to say with all the drama still haven't read it but promise I will!
HDL I will hound you until the cows come home 'til you post. Always worked with husbands (and pseudo lol), so gonna try it on you!
Well, girls I'm tired as a dog (or cat in this instance
). Trying to stay awake until 10 but don't know if I'll make it. Didn't eat today and quite honestly don't feel like it - when Naiky was buying Albert's meds she bought me my fav comfort food, Cambells Chicken Noodle soup. Ah . . . I'll probably have it for breakfast lol dang where is that french toast! Could be back, could be asleep - heck, wonder if there's room for me behind the toilet with Albert
One way we could curl up together. So if you don't see me again tonight, I'll see ya in the morning. Will be doing some grinding and force feeding Albert his antiobiotics (will have coffee first or could be a total disaster)
