shark week...
Sat Aug 15 2009

so, the ring finger of my right hand is currently in the process of healing from what turned out to be a pretty nasty cat bite. as the overnight doc described it, my hand looked like it was wax! an ER visit 6 hours after the event, yielded IV antibios, a prescription for oral antibios, and a stern recommendation to return for a recheck.

asshole that i am, i worked the next two days with my bum hand...got a little worried when a little red line started to make its way to my wrist...
so, after a 14 hour shift, i headed back to the human ER for that recheck. the little red line was looking like it was fading. but i went to ER anyway. got the green light, with a stern look to return if it started to look and feel worse. it turned out to be a 2+ hour ordeal, surely something i'd casually bring up to clients visiting our hospital who complain about waiting for 10 minutes...

so, when all was said and done, i was practically awake for about 21 hours (friday afternoon to 12 noon today.) i've only just been able to sleep for about 6 hours... was going to head out to the gym, but my body is too tired, so i'll shower, go to the market and get something to make dinner of.

orangehead has gone 6 days without pooping. i brought her in to work and shot a radiograph (x-ray) and it showed LOTS of poop, shriveled up kidneys, and some strange shading/dark spots on her pancreas??? so, this week, i'll speak to the specialist and her reg. vet in hopes they'll review the film and come up with a plan. incidently, i got home this am and found a small amt of poop in the litter pan (it was dry and hard). she's on stool softeners and hi-fiber wet food. still eating, drinking, and peeing.

    THE NEW KITTY???!!!!!!!!!

    Don't worry about Sal. She's made of stern stuff. It's just covered with all this soft fluffy crap that has to be abraded off before you get to the basalt core.
