Yes, Jenniffer, I am alive. I’m currently sitting in the airport in Columbus, Ohio waiting to see when/if I am going to get out of here tonight. I’ve been here since Sunday night for MySQL training for work. Four full days of classes along with attending the worst loss in Iowa basketball in the last [...]

What a long day. Oh how I wish I didn’t have to go to work tomorrow. I was just exhausted to the point of yawning all day long. I’m sleeping at night, but the stress between Mac’s health and stupid stuff at work is wearing on me. Mac went back to the vet this afternoon [...]

Mac and I are hanging in there. She got up and ate a little bit this morning, but I still tried to syringe feed her some. Lost part of my left hand to her claw. I came home from lunch and she ate and drank again, but I still didn’t feel it was enough so [...]

I got home from work in a panic ready to force feed my cat so she wouldn’t die and found her still on her bed in the office. But then she got up all on her own, walked to the kitchen, ate a bit, then went to her water bowl and drank for five minutes. [...]

My vet finally called me back (she was in surgery) and she’s very concerned that Mac isn’t eating or drinking much. Apparently, I should have started syringe feeding her last night when she wouldn’t eat much on her own and I should not have left her be for an entire day. Now I feel like [...]

I left work early and picked up Mac yesterday afternoon. Poor cat. She looked so pathetic in her carrier. The clinic had put a bandage on her right front leg where they had taken an IV out. It was orange with smiley faces. The vet joked that they thought it might improve her disposition. She [...]

Mac spent another night at the emergency clinic. I spoke to the vet around 8:30 last night and he told me I could come get her if I wanted, but basically another night of monitoring wouldn’t hurt. I think he knew that I’d be freaked out and watching her all night anyway. I called this [...]

Just got off the phone with the vet at the clinic and he wants to keep her longer, until this evening at the earliest. I called in last night around 11pm and this morning around 8am and both the technicians I talked to had some amusing things to say about her demeanor. One woman said [...]

MacGyver is spending the night in the animal hospital getting fluids and antibiotics and having some other tests done. She was still not well this afternoon and had a few more issues, so I took her to the emergency room. They did blood tests, X-rays, and checked her blood pressure. Everything is a bit messed [...]

I wake up this morning around 8:30am after a lovely night of sleep that included fragments of a dream where Jerry and I were singing the Star-Spangled Banner with BoyzIIMen. I get out of bed and smell the lingering bits of fresh [...]
