Hi LL Family,
I know I haven't posted a condo in a long time, so long that I don't even recognize half of everyone on here, but I had some free time this 'morning' and figured an update was due. It is very difficult for me to post on a daily basis because of my schedule. I used to complain that my hours were too crazy late...well now I start work at 6:00 AM and I have been working OT whenever possible to support Alex and Jackson's ever changing cat food changing habits. (One day I like this, the next day I don't...and so on). I keep telling them about the starving cats all over the world but they JUST don't get it. ohmygod_smile
Everything I am going to post comes with an UNJINX in front, in the middle, and after it.
Alex has been doing well for the most part. He has a few episodes of what may appear to be mid pancreatits or just gastritis but they have come and gone very quickly. He has a bad tooth that appears to bother him when he eats but because of his HCM and his thyroid issues I have been told that he is not a good risk for anesthesia. I have tried doing the once a month Clindamycin therapy with him but unfortunately Alex gets very ill very quickly from Clindamycin so that is out of the question for him as well. It isn't keeping him from eating (AT ALL) and he doesn't cry. It's just what I notice so I had the vet look at his mouth and there is one tooth that makes him chatter when it is touched. Hopefully, as the others have, it will get loose and fall out because I have chosen not to risk possibly losing him to a dental when he is otherwise a happy, hungry, cuddly, even kinda playful boy (in spite of the neuropathy that never reversed itself). All p's are in order and he ALWAYS has his purry pants on these days
My Jackson is another story....the light and love of my life is what really has kept me from posting.Not that I don't adore Alex cause I DO. It's just a 'different' relationship. Without going into much detail, I thought I was going to have to say goodbye to him on Memorial Day weekend. His HCM has now also become CHF. The vet surprised me when he told me that there were things we could try and no he did not have to be...well you know.... unless I wanted to (ha ha ha :cry: ) and so far Jackson is doing well. UNJINX UNJIX UNJINX!
So aside from my life being a little sad (it's also the 1 year anniv of my mom's death next month which weighs heavily on me) and a lot crazy these days, I have only come here to read and to pay respects to those who have lost and and to those who needed prayers. But I do see the triumphs too and I am happy for all the OTJ kitties and grateful to everyone who has ever offered support to me and my boys.
Love to you all.
Have a great Sunday and see you soon...........
xoxo,
Caryl, Alex and Jackson
