Yesterday

Happy appy, snuggly, spunky, feisty, and anti-jinxes.

For some odd reason, I spooked her last night. It was right after we did fluids. She was heading to the water bowl, as is her post-fluids ritual. The water bowl is right next to the linen closet, and I was going in there to get something when all of a sudden she looked up at me with huge eyes and then quickly scurried away! I guess she didn't hear me coming and I startled her. She ran down to the couch in the family room and was following my every move with her big eyes after that. She wouldn't even eat her post-fluids snack, which she never refuses - and I know it was because she didn't trust me, because right before fluids her appy was super fantastic. After she napped for a bit, she did start to relax and remember that I'm not the boogie man. She is VERY sensitive to that sort of stuff, though. I just wish I knew what exactly it was that happened. She seems to be completely over it this morning.

With that...it's a work day (blech)....time to get moving. Have a great day, L&LL!

PS - For those who are following, there is a bit of an update about my Dad's local oncology visit in yesterday's condo...running too late now to copy it into today's condo!
 
I hate it when they get spooked and you don't know why. I'm glad she's over it this morning. Sending prayers for your dad. :bighug:
 
Just read yesterday's condo, Amy. And am guessing your DF is dehydrated. Not clinically, just enough to make him feel crumby.

Two things got me through chemo comfortably. Exercise, even when I didn't want to, I'd walk two to three miles a day; oddly, it kept the fatigue at bay. And near constant fluid intake. I didn't want to do that either. Lots of juices and water. Hated it.

My home health care worker told me I need to feel the urge to use the bathroom every couple of hours or I wasn't drinking enough. So....drink, drink, drink...chug a lug.

Although I hated the "forced" exercise and the tortuous drinking, I hated feeling crumby even more!

Hope your dad feels better; hope the new protocol isn't as tough. Not an easy road. But for me, three years later, I'm glad my doctor visits are filled with social updates and not medical stuff!

As for Trixie's fright. I sometimes think they can see things we can't! Glad she's conquered the monster by this morning.

Silly kitties! I find it just hysterical when they get spoked for no reason! Then I feel immediately guilty and follow them around with treats as an apology :rolleyes:

Sending lots of vines, hugs, and purrs that your Dad starts to feel better soon!
 
Good advice from Marilyn... Tillie does that too, especially when we come home after a trip. She looks at us and says "Who are YOU?!?" and we say, "You know us, we live here." :joyful: :joyful:
