Nothing major going on in our lives on the health front. Vic is still waiting for the surgeon to review his reports and expects to hear from them this Friday.
I'm having a lot of fatigue spells. Last night was especially tough as it was an effort to even talk. The fatigue was still around this morning; I had to take a 30 minute "nap" at work just to get through the rest of the day.
Chemo-brain type stuff is happening more often. Today at work, I forgot to do the deposit for the office (due by 10 am). Totally forgot! I've also been saying things and people are looking at me weird. Like, can't they read my mind and figure out what I meant to say? At least I can still laugh at it and myself.
One of our elderly cats, Seattle, is very sick and has been in the vet hospital since yesterday. The vet thinks it's pancreatitis. We've been dealing with Seattle's diabetes for a few months, giving him daily insulin. It is a sad night here at our home - lots of "what ifs" and tears. Please pray that the antibiotics and all the other things the vet is trying do work.
If Seattle doesn't improve tomorrow, he will more than likely go to kitty heaven. It will be a hard day for both of us as we love this little guy so much. I hate the idea that if he doesn't respond, we go to the vet's after work to say our good-byes. What a heavy thing to hang over us all day.
I wish my BC sisters a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow!

Hi Renee
ReplyDeleteI hope Seattle pulls through to at least a time when you don't have so much else on your plate. I have an elderly pug on borrowed time here and I will be so sad when he passes. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure-wrong as it turned out as he is alive-but he was so ill, I thought he wouldn't make it.
But your last chemo-what a joy that must be (muted I know with everything else on your plate)No more infusions! I just started Round 2 (6 more to go)yesterday. So far not so bad but I guess things get harder and harder as my treatment progresses.

Renee,
ReplyDeleteSure sorry to hear about you not feeling well with the fatigue from the chemo. How great though that they have a room for you to nap in at work. What nice people.
And I'm very sorry to hear about your cat. We've never had a cat, only dogs, and they sure do become part of the family, and I cried for a week at least after our 12 year old Shepard died. And it was an outside dog. And I didn't even really like her.
Now we have a Chocolate Lab who's in the house late afternoon through middle morning, and I'm pretty attached to her. I can't even imagine if it hit me so hard with the other what this one will be like, especially for the kids.
I'm praying for you in all ways.
Love you!
Kim
