dchenesThe vet bill was only $718, which is still a lot, but it was worth it because the ultrasound result is that Lily only has chronic pancreatitis that flared up. She got an antibiotic in case it's bacterial, and the three-day pain injection, but I can't give her NSAID anti-inflammatories due to her kidneys and steroidal anti-inflammatories have their own problems. The combination of gabapentin and buprenorphine made her hind end lurch around like a drunken sailor all evening (I compared her navigational abilities to the Ever Given, stuck in the Suez Canal). As of this morning she's back to being able to walk straight, and put a serious hurting on dinner last night and breakfast today.
She got the same medications Snip got and I keep comparing their reactions. There's a certain amount of staring into space, but it's penetrable, and Lily will get up and come sit on me and purr her fool head off for a while. And she noticed almost instantly that there was leftover ultrasound gel on her undercarriage, and didn't like that. Snip never noticed.
Today being a nice day, and I wanting to be out in the air, I ended up in the bookstore and grocery shopping in that order (which is backward, but nothing else is normal yet either). I bought two books I haven't read yet (Foundryside and A Court of Thorns and Roses), both of which are the first of a series. I didn't know Foundryside was going to be a trilogy, but two chapters in, I'm inclined to buy the next one when I'm done with this one, and the third one when it exists. (Speaking of books that don't exist, Pogo volume 8 comes out this fall. I'm making a note that I pre-ordered it now, so that when it gets postponed in October and I get email in January saying it's been shipped, I don't wonder what the hell that's about. That's what happened with volume 6.)
And then I came home and put the groceries away and put the laundry in the dryer, and crashed the vacuum cleaner into my left big toe while getting the leftover shaved fur from Lily's stomach off the rug. Ow. I didn't think the vacuum cleaner was that heavy. Oh well, that'll learn me.
