feline update

My girl Cicely is doing so much better; I'm feeling pretty optimistic.  She's still blind-- but other then that, she's steadily getting more and more sturdy and contented

There were a few days there that were pretty scary.  She was really weak when I brought her home from the vet-- staggery, refusing food and water, just wiped out.  At one point she actually refused an offer of tuna.  Now, she's enough improved that she perks up and comes over when she hears the can opener.  I have some hope that her vision will return, at least partially-- apparently it can take a few weeks to do so-- but if not, it's looking like she could have a reasonably good life, and do the things she needs and wants to do, while blind.

Subcutaneous fluids, by the way, are amazing.  She hates them--- but she gets immediate energy from them.  Today she's eaten enough that I'm going to try giving them a miss-- but thus far, every time, I've given them to her, she has noticeably improved.

I'm spending lots of time on the couch, a cat on either side of me, both hands in soft fur.  It's hard to be me.

It may be hard to be you, but I'm so glad you are you.

My love.
