Yesterday's Return to the Lagoon Condo

So we're back in blue today. Not gonna lie, that trip to the lagoon got me pretty excited, so last night and this morning were a bit of a let down, but blue is good, too. Cinco's very needy today. He's requesting neck and head rubs every 15 or 20 minutes. He's so funny, because after just a couple of minutes he's had enough and walks away, but 15 minute later he's meowing for more! Yes, master. Right away, master. I have nothing else to do today but tend to your needs, master!

Less than stellar appies for the girls again - a second flavor didn't even do it for Minka, but she ate a little of each, enough that I felt safe giving her the Pred. I may offer something else for a snack shortly. Crushed Hypo treats were required to get Sasha's breakfast down her. Those girls do make me work for it! Harvey, meanwhile, is back in vacuum cleaner mode. I can't get the food on his plate fast enough! I wonder what it's like to have cats that just eat their meals calmly and without complaint every day???

My cold is a little worse today - nose is driving me crazy! I still feel fine, but @MollynSkooter, I hope you didn't sell that stock in Kleenex just yet! Arthritis is downright miserable in my right hand, so please forgive if I don't do a lot of commenting today - I'll try to read as many condos as I can, but it hurts so to type. Took a Vicodin last night and it didn't help. May go for a Norco today, since I'm not driving anywhere.

Sending healing vines to all in need and hugs to all their beans. Prayers continue for Amy's DF, Lyresa's DF & DH, Lisa's DF and Elise's DM. We're so excited to hear that Trixie is doing better, but still sending tons of healing vines for her and calming vines for Amy.

Maybe Cinco is making up for the lack of green by giving you extra loving. Sending appy vines for Sasha and Minka and prayers for your cold and hand.

 

[Ann & Tess GA]

Sending some of those vines back to you. I hope you find something to help w/ the arthritis soon. We doo get greedy when it comes to .

 

[Chris/China (GA)/Garfield]

Yeah Cinco!! Let's see you spend more time down in the lagoon!...but the shore's nice too!

Yuck on the cold Tricia! My DM's been miserable with her nose too. Seems to help when I get her the Puff plus Lotion instead of "plain" tissues.

Double yuck on the arthritis! Hope you find something that helps!

Vicoden and Norco are the same thing (unless they're different strengths) ...they're both acetaminophen and hydrocodone...the next step "up" would be oxycodone (like Percocet, Oxycontin)

 

[Deborah & Shasta]

Handsome boy looks like he was coming on down the BG slide. Hope he continued tonight. Sorry about your cold and arthritis. Sending healing vines for you, Tricia.

Thanks for the visits, Carla, Ann, Chris and Deborah. Cinco's PMPS was lower than his AM, but looks like he pretty much surfed the evening away. This is perfectly acceptable on a bowling night!

Everyone ate their late dinner well - except (you guessed it) Minka. She did eat about half of the serving I offered of the second flavor. She also ate all of the snack I gave her before we left for bowling, so I'm not too concerned that she didn't eat enough today. So we start this whole game over in the morning.

The hand continues to make me miserable. It's three fingers at once that hurt - usually it's not more than two - and it's my right hand. They will only give cortisone shots in two fingers at a time, in one joint each, so I will have to determine which are the worst if I want to go that route. @Chris & China, Norco is a double dose of Vicodin. It's still a step below Oxy. It's pretty good stuff, but it does make me a little drowsy. I'm already taking the maximum dose on my NSAID, so if I want to take something more, the Vicodin or Norco is my option. I don't have addictive tendencies (except for food), but I still don't like to take narcotics very often. I believe the less often you take them, the more effective they are when you do. I toughed it out tonight, but if it's still this bad tomorrow, I'll be calling for a shot appointment and taking the Norco. Getting old sucks.
