Nothing to fear but fear itself?
I'm still having health issues. Poor appetite, frequent nausea and bloating, intestinal problems, extreme fatigue and foggy head, etc. My doctor did a bit of blood work and told me it all looked fine so he sent me back to see my Gastroenterologist. Of course, I knew that if I saw my GI, he'd want to perform an upper endoscopy on my panic-stricken self.
After over a month of feeling like the walking dead and worrying that I have some serious health problem, I agreed to see my GI. And, after he poked and prodded my abdomen, he told me he wants me to have the endoscopy.
I promptly began to...
On turning thirty, cats and death...
So, I'm turning thirty in a few months. And, to be honest, it scares the shit out of me. Is this a 'normal' reaction?
A few months ago, we had to euthanize one of our cats. On the heels of that experience came thoughts of my own mortality. It isn't that I've never thought of it before - certainly, I have, even as a child - however, I supposed I'd only thought of it on occasion and generally only if I was feeling stressed about some strange physical symptom.
Add Pepper's death to my already growing anxiety regarding the turn of my third century. Not that thirty is much more than a number,...
I saw it coming...
One of our cats was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure several months ago. The vet changed his diet to a special low-protein food and said that Pepper could possibly live a few more healthy years before the condition advanced. We knew we would eventually have to euthanize him when he started having more issues from it but we hoped to have another year or so with him, providing that his quality of life was good. After making those changes, Pepper started perking up and acting more like himself. He seemed to be feeling well most days and was happy.
Several days ago, he began behaving like...
The usual... sort of.
Have I broken my 'gee-I-have-not-posted-a-blog-in-months' record yet? Bleurgh!
Things are stressful, as usual. The house remains a constant source of stress, not to mention fatigue. We spent about two weeks clearing out the garage (all the crap the previous owners left is finally at the dump!) and it took me nearly three whole days just to pressure wash the inside of it. Mind you, it's about two cars wide and three car lengths long, not a small space. And even the floor was disgustingly filthy. After that, we had a garage sale - a stupid thing to call it since you're not selling the...
