Thank you for all the ideas and suggestions for Trix yesterday. She will remain a non-traditional OTJ kitty for now. I just get thrown off by some of her odd numbers and that makes me think it's time to start thinking about the juice again.....but then Mr P kicks in and confuses me - something that's not hard to do these days! When the confusion hits, it helps me to hear input from others since Trix's case isn't cut-n-dried. And, since her path to OTJ was unconventional and abrupt, I'll keep testing her 3 times a day...poor girl, being OTJ and still getting ear pokes, but if she decides to call it quits at The Falls, I want to catch it right away, especially since we didn't taper down the juice like most of our TR kitties do. She is an enigma...but that seems to run in my family :roll: !
My Dad's port is being installed at 8:45 this morning...basically, in about 10 minutes. At some point soon (hopefully without all the run-around we got with regards to installing the port!), he'll meet with the infusion team and then start the chemo. It is scary and makes all of this bizarre nightmare that much more "real", but things have to start moving forward. In the meantime, he still has absolutely no symptoms, despite having 3 different cancers at once (I read a stat last week that 3 concurrent primary cancers is so rare that it afflicts just 1 out of 4 million people), despite having Stage IV stomach cancer. My parents went out to lunch with my brother and his wife the other day...my Dad polished off his fish and fries, ate most of my mother's fries, and had a jumbo tapioca pudding for dessert. I've said it before: if it weren't for all the tests pointing back to him, you'd think this was all one big horrific lab error. I guess we can consider ourselves lucky that this was caught totally by a fluke, and before he did start feeling ill from it.....
Sending prayers to my entire wonderful amazing LL family....
