He's Home!

My baby is home. The doctor said that he went through hell but it was the best thing i could have done for him. He will be healthier because of it.

I was afraid he would have to stay inside. He said let him go out and play all he wants! let him be a cat. He has to take that yucky antibiotic for his mouth twice a day. He hates that. He gave me some pain medicine. The bottle doesn't have much in it. He said I will give it to you if you want. He seems to think he won't need it but I wanted it. I am not having him hurt.

I give him three drops in his food today, two drops tomorrow and then two drops every other day until gone. I am telling you so I will have it written down so I can remember.

He doesn't want to leave my side but he is outside now. I have to go somewhere tomorrow but he is home and I think he can handle a few hours. I will love his fur off today and I hope by tomorrow he will calm down.

Thank you all for your prayers. they worked! Oh and they said he would only eat the food I brought. I knew he hated the food they feed him and he wanted me. Guess I told them!

Crap.

I should have stayed in bed today.

I called and Sebastian still isn't eating. They wanted me to bring him some of his food from home. I did.

I didn't want to see him but they insisted. He jumped into my arms crying. Loving on me. He didn't eat. He was too busy trying to get into my arms.

The doc wants to keep him until Monday. He is in great pain and needs more fluids. So I had to love on him and then leave him. I heard him crying as I walked out the door.

The doc thinks this will help him. I think it just made things worse. I know it did for me. I will hear him cry until I see him Monday.

I'll Shut Up Now

After this I will leave y'all alone until tomorrow.

Sebastian is eating a little of the soft food.

He can come home tomorrow.

Whew.

Sebastian

I just called. They want to keep him one more night. He isn't eating. One reason is because he hates the food they feed him.

It will be more on the bill (which will be big) but at least the pain will be even less and that will help me.

I know he is waiting for me to come get him. He does that. It's killing me. I just want him home.

Kitty Update Update

Okay, I called and spoke to the doctor. He said he had to give him major pain meds even before they started. They are going to keep him until tomorrow afternoon.

They are going to keep him asleep for several hours because he said the pain would be too much for him. Then they will wake him and keep him medicated until the pain is under control.

He had major infection and the teeth just broke off. It is killing me to know that he was hurting so much and i didn't know. He said cats deal with pain different than humans. They will play just like nothing is wrong.

It kills me that he is there and in such pain. I know he is asleep but he will be in pain when he wakes up. I told him I was glad he was staying because I want the pain to be less when he comes home so he wont suffer. He said it will and he will give me pain meds for him.

He said he is going to be a whole lot better after this. It probably won't help his wheezing but, maybe now he will be more like a normal cat. It's just getting through these next several days.

The infection was killing him. I had to wait until I had healed enough from my surgery to take him. I wish I hadn't. I should have found a way. But, it is done.

He is my baby. I just wonder how he will eat until he heals. I guess I will find out tomorrow. I will let you know.

Thanks friends.

Kitty Update

I called a little while ago to check on Sebastian. They were still working on him. He ended up losing all his teeth.

If anyone has a cat that is an adult and had to have their teeth pulled, I could sure use some advice.

Thanks for the prayers. I hope to have him home later today.

Hey Y'all!

Try mixing equal parts of Lemon Juice and Olive Oil to create a natural homemade wood furniture cleaner. This mixture cleans well and will leave a pleasant shine on your household wood furniture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I get enough exercise pushing my luck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does Anyone Remember...

Sunday Funnies "Pogo"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work Excuses.....

I went to a party on Saturday and met a girl, we've been in bed ever since. I'm getting tired now and will be at work in an hour or so.

Can't come in today, the springs on the garage door broke and I can't get the car out cause the door won't open.

Sorry Boss I can't come into work today...my spirit guide says work is for losers!

There has been an urgent family emergency, which I can't talk about lest I endanger any innocent bystanders.

My dog is having puppies and I need to help her.

Someone smashed in my windows this morning with a large blunt object.

I sprained my wrist cooking dinner in the microwave last nite.

Sorry I did not show up yesterday, I locked myself in the bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yup, one tip is all you get today. This week is gonna be something. Had to go get groceries, drug store, Walmart. Way too much for me! Tomorrow, I take Sebastian to the vet's. I dread that. The worst part is getting him in the carrier. He is scared to death. He knows something is up because he is already hiding every chance he gets. I bought a new carrier. This is mesh and cloth...stuff. It is lighter than that big old plastic thing. I hope it is easier on me cause it doesn't weigh much. He may eat it though. He don't know what it is yet. It is folded up.

He will stay the night. They will get his wheezing under control and stuff and the next morning he will have his teeth pulled. I will pick him up Thursday afternoon. So I will be wiped out...oh yea, I already am. Geesh!

So say a little prayer for my baby if you would. He and I are a lot alike. Both have been sick since birth. Never get a break. I would give almost anything if I could take his problems on myself. He has earned the right to just be a normal kitty.

No, he isn't dying here. Just trying to get a belly rub. Spoiled just a tad! Taken last year.

In my lap. Way close up! I stopped petting him. Big Baby. It's hard to get a good picture of him. He is either in my lap or hiding under something or outside. Usually in my lap. He is much better looking than this.

A Path To The Dark Side You Take!

I have a Gimmer Stick to pick with some one. A bone....it means a bone...geesh! Anyway, A close friend told me that I had become obsessed with Star Wars.

050628135453_31.gif picture by meme1_08

Okay, first off, I have always been obsessed with Star Wars so get it straight okay!

I just don't get why anyone wouldn't be into the greatest sensation that was ever created. It's not just the movies.

The books all tie in together. Every different author keeps the story line going. The comic books..even games tie in. I don't know any other story that does that. Okay, Star Trek, maybe, but not to this degree.

The books tell you what happens before the movies, between the movies and after the movies. Each author studies the other books, movies and uses the characters to continue on. They create new characters, and other authors continues with them or kills them off. But there is no hanging like you find in some story lines. I can read a book and read another from a different author about different stories and you read about people that were created about yet another author and it all makes sense.

It's like one continous action adventure that never stops! George Lucas is a genius. And the authors that create these books are keeping that genius alive. The story doesn't end at the credits of the last movie.

It's not even the beginning!

So get with it people. I am not obsessed. I'm just....okay, I'm obsessed. But there are worse things to become obsessed over you know! Oh and I am somewhat obsessed with Star Trek too. But we won't go there.

That is all I am going to say.
