Rubbish week. Fluffernutter was diagnosed with pancreatitis as well. She's not near as sick as a cat we had in the past with it, but I've known two people who lost their cats to it so I'm freaked out. It's hard seeing her sick. My birthday is tomorrow. I normally love it but not this year.

I can't believe I missed Fat Squirrel Week. 😭

Our sweet little Etta has been diagnosed with kidney disease. I hope we have lots of quality time left with her. It's such an awful disease. Poor sweetie. #caturday

I think Etta might want to be a plumber. She is so interested in all they are doing. And the bathroom is her second favorite room. (Laundry room is the first)

Ugh! Dang head! I figured you were things since it's a flare, but was hopefully I was wrong. I love it when cats snore. It is adorable! I'm doing fine, oddly enough.
Fluffernutter sends love.

I didn't really feel bad yesterday, I even went out to run errands for an hour. I checked my Garmin and my poor body was going through some stress.

Thinking of you, Beth. Tests can suck. Sending my 5 cats from the Bridge to accompany you so if you hear anything weird, it's them. Here's a picture of Pandora, the leader of the bunch.

Trudhesa $589.71 for 30 days?! Ok then. That's highway robbery. Max is $2k a year which I am about to hit after my $1100 for 2 months of Qulipta for Jan and Feb. 🙄 Migraine life is so affordable.

I really wish I could teach my cat to tell time. She won't stop crying. It's not time for dinner! It's not even close! Please stop crying, sweet girl!

My Garmin watch suggested I add a triathlon event. I'll get right on that after I find the energy to do the laundry and get groceries delivered. I've been trying to do for those last week or so at it might be a bit. 😆

Dry needling. I also do neck strengthening exercises. There are YouTube videos that start with head shrug. Then you advance slowly from there. Sometimes the muscles are tense from being weak. Physical therapy helped. This also helps.

Awww. Wish it didn't bother Etta so much because she looks so dang cute.

Etta has been trying to tear her stitches out. Poor baby has her flower on now and is rather angry about it. We've ordered a suit for her to wear.

Little Etta is doing a lot better today. She's still drunk, hyper, and obsessed with water. She's slept some and isn't as jumpy though!

Etta bug got out of surgery fine. All went well. I get to pick up my beautiful baby in an hour! She's usually hyper after anesthesia so eek.

Sweet Etta has a dental and minor surgery today for a tumor removal from her shoulder, armpit area. We are hoping it's just a fatty tumor--that's all the needle aspiration found. Hoping it goes well and comes back benign! She is my sweet pirate baby who loves to assist me around the house. 😻

This is going to sound really dense but I didn't realize Jiminy Cricket was a cricket. I just thought of it as his last name so when Pickles, my Finch, asked me about him today, I was shocked when she said she was going to find a cricket tomorrow. I am quite scared of crickets.

She looks less fearful now. More glowy from my husband's game which is nice.

Poor lil Foo couldn't get in to see her regular vet so we had to take her to the ER. She has bacterial cystitis along with gastro stuff. She's home now on meds. Poor girl is rather out of it but feeling a lot better. 😢

Migraine attack today so my husband kindly picked up my Qulipta. Copay for 1 month $384. Why is Humana charging that for one month? Last month was exorbitant but I thought that was because of the deductible. This is ridiculous. The max out of pocket for the year is $2000, thankfully but good lord.

Etta's cytology came back and her tumor looks to be benign! They can't be sure until they remove it but so far it looks good. Woohoo!

My sweetest girl Etta has a mass on her shoulder. The vet took a sample and is sending it off. Please don't let it be cancer. She is the sweetest baby ever. She was snuggling with the vet tech in between tumor aspirations. 😭
