Plans? What plans? Mim-ish things
I should never "plan" how my evening should go on any given night. It's like daydreaming too hard and then realizing that wait...I was daydreaming...none of this is real...but a little more practical. I seriously planned to catch up on commenting, posts, reading, and general "desk area" activities. Mixed in with all of those lovely plans was supposed to be sketching out of some ideas and reference material searchings.
Part of the evening did go mostly as planned. The re-gauze padding of da Mim. Her crater cancer tumor of doom is...yeah it's not that pretty. We're cleaning it and trying to keep a non-stick gauze pad thing on it. This proves to be difficult on the slick long haired kitty gimpiness of da Mim. We did find that the sticking to itself ace bandage is working the best so far. It limits her already limited movements some but it's better than having her wound ooze and get stuck to a baby tshirt of purple leotard sleeve tube. (btw, that was really farking gross. poor thing) She's due to start up her pulse antibiotics next month again. Although I think she might need some aggressive strong antibiotics right now with how her wound is behaving. T_T We also need to ask the vet if there's a pill version of her steroid we could give her. She's LOATHING this cherry version she has had right now. Half the time it gets spat right back out. =_= Before going to bed, we'll have to re-wrap her with the other bandage. It's finally dry now after needing to be washed. It's so hard keeping wounds dressed on a long haired cat. I worry a lot.
On the bright side of all that ughness... she's still alert. She's still eating and drinking and bathrooming. She's more floppy and lethargic right now but so is Stanzi. I think it's the heat. I do think that she's not feeling all that good from her cancer. Shocker I know. However she's still feisty if not a bit more wilted currently. I can also tell that her arthritis is bothering her. This is very much apparent when our weather changes. *sigh* I just want her to be comfy.
I had a lot more half planned in there too. However seeing that it's approaching midnight again and I feel woogy, I think I should call it a night and try to sleep in the toaster oven called the bedroom. (now with new convection action!) More whinings from here later.
P.S. Happy bday to you-san of JDA! Yay! And a big congrats to yasu for "Spell Magic" debuting at #4. You guys raWk! (*snugs da kiku*)
P.P.S etc... I need to med and re-wrap da Mim but she's snoozing and looks so comfy cute I don't want to disturb her. Arrrrgh!
