a bean of no small worth

Lord Brock has been checked into the hospital for the night. The vet wants to give him fluids, and given his heart murmur that is apparently a risky treatment so they are doing it gradually and under observation.

He stopped eating again and giving him the meds I came home with last time only got a few small nibbles into him. All he wanted to do was sleep, which is pretty much what I want to do when I'm not feeling well.

This will cost me approximately three million dollars. I'm trying not think about that part. That's why credit cards were invented right?

After I dropped him off I figured maybe I could salvage some usefulness out of the day, so I started walking towards the storage unit to grab a couple of things. About an hour into the walk I got really light-headed and clammy and I started to panic. Was something wrong with me as well, did I catch something and give it to the cat, cat's can catch covid, what have I done...

And then I realized that I had been so worried about being ready to leave the house the second I got the callback from the vet - I forgot to eat all day.

Caught the bus home, shoved some food in my face, I am fine. Just a dumbass.

I was told to expect a callback with an update when the night shift finishes. At 7 AM on a Saturday. Ugh. For somebody who didn't get much useful done all day I'm still friggin' exhausted, so just as well I'll want to go to bed early tonight.

Oh dear, what a situation - totally understandable that you forgot to eat! ***hugs*** I hope Lord Brock is ok. *sends positive vibes*

Sending positive thoughts Lord Brock's way.

Poor kitty.
Honestly, while not eating and sleeping are concerning, if he's sleeping in his usual spots that's encouraging.

My bois and I will send positive thoughts.

I forgot to eat all day.
It happens to us all.
You look after yourself.

Ugh. I'm really sorry about the kitty. Now you and I both have declining friends. :(

YOur post also reminded me that with warmer weather coming, I need to take care of our storage unit too.

How is His Lordship this morning? Better, I hope, with the fluids. That always seems to make them feel better.

I'm sending ALL the *HUGS* if you'd like them and lots of good healing energy for you both!
