I love my cat

June 12th, 2008

My cat Love Bug means so much to me. I already knew this, as I fell in love with him the moment we walked into his particular cat room at AAWL almost 8 years ago and he came right up to us and wanted our attention.

But being home this week has completely validated that for me as he has hardly left my side, and has laid next to me on the couch- where I am designated while being sick -almost nonstop. All I have to do is tap the couch and he is there. The other day he even slept on my tummy!

It has been really great just laying there, resting and patting my cat, while Scott takes care of me.

being sick sucks

June 9th, 2008

This past Saturday I woke up at three in the morning with one of the worst sore throats I have ever had. I laid there for a little while before realizing sleep is going to allude me. So I got up, took medicine and proceeded to stay up for four hours due to a wierd burst of energy. I have been miserable since. My sinuses won’t quit. My throat is extremely irritated and I have frequent spurts of being all sweaty. Ugh! I go to the doctors at 4pm today so we will see.

urine cocktail

May 2nd, 2008

After spending the past three weeks wondering if the extremely yellow urine, frequent peeing, and at times slightly burning feeling after I went the bathroom was something I should be worried about, I finally went to the doctor.

I supplied them with a urine sample and waited patiently for the doctor to tell me the results.

It’s never a good sign when the doctor comes in and says “what is going on here” and then I ask “what do you mean” and she replies “your urine is full of blood and puss.” Guess I shouldn’t have waited three weeks to see the doctor.

After a lecture on needing to flush out my system by drinking lots of water daily or else the infection will just come back, she prescribed an antibiotic and sent me on my way.
