Blah, one word: Penicillin. Yeah, my infection is back... again. Rather than having a pick-line for the third time, I decided to take a different route. Mind you, if the Penicillin doesn't clear up the infection, I probably will have to go on the Cipro IV again for a few weeks... yeah, I'm hoping that won't be the case.
Once again, my pain is preventing me from doing the things that matter most in my life... Like you know, attending school. I try to be there as much as I can, but I almost wonder if I was better off with the tutors (as unorganized as they were). I wish I could have both, but as that is legally impossible, I'm just going to stick with getting this school year done with. At least May is almost here.
As if this junk isn't enough to put up with, I have another problem on my hands. Three weeks ago, my senior cat Marbles started having a runny eye (if you look at the photos in my last entry you can see what I mean). This isn't that unusual actually, back when she was four or five she had a horrible eye infection and her left eye has never been the same. It sometimes tears a little, but clears up in a few days. This time, the tearing hasn't stopped which has caused me more than a little concern. We started giving her eye medication two weeks ago but it hasn't done a thing, even the vet wasn't confident that it was a bacterial infection. When I woke up today, Marbles' eye was bleeding. My dad rushed her to vet, but the only logical explanation my vet could give was "her blood pressure is a bit higher than normal". Don't get me wrong, I think Dr. Arnold is an exceptional veterinarian, she's taken care of Marbles for nineteen years and I'm pretty confident when I say she's one of the best cat experts in the area. But is simply putting Marbles on a blood pressure medication really going to solve her situation? I just, I don't know. Part of me is really anxious, I know 19 is really old for a cat and she's bound to have some health problems but I can't shake this feeling that there's more we can do for her than this. I just really love her, that's all.
I promise to have more anime convention information in my next update...
