We have an appointment in January to meet with a consultant for Drew. It was the earliest they had 
I wanted next week
Just want to do what we can do, if possible.
So far he eating good, demanding love and cuddles, wanting to play (when the young ones aren’t around…lol)
For us it is all about our babies quality of life, but 12 is way too young for cats. And we aren’t happy about both of our 12 yr olds going through all of this.
Thank you for all the love.
I’m really hating 2020 right now…..besides the obvious reasons, now not only does Sakura have stage 4 kidney disease, Drew has lymphoma…..he now has a big lump on the side of his throat.
Looking online, treating it can go from $1,000 to $10,000s. 
He was diagnosed with leukemia a few months ago, we almost lost him then….I syringe feed him so much that weekend, that he got enough strength to get an appetite that he started eating on his own.
Thought we got through it and now this…..
ToRn has taken over syringe feeding Sakura. She eats on her own, but won’t eat what she is suppose to help her kidneys. That is what he has to syringe feed her. He does it quicker and probably less stressful on her then I do.
That helped my stress level some, but the vet results from Drew is confirming my worst fears…..all I want to do it break down and lose it….
I see that lump on him and I just feel so bad.I’m just going to take my cat and head to bed.
Alright….I have a small dilemma.
I getting ready to get my tickets for Ind (June 6 – June 13). Tickets are really cheap right now….that is helpful, was concerned about visiting my folks with the travel.
Going to wear a mask in the house while visiting….dad doesn’t seemed as concern as I do…eye roll. But with the way my father ends up hurting himself while working, I rather see him before he hurts/kills himself in some sort of freak accident. (Love you dad!)
But back to the issue, most of the flights have connections other then Chicago…..now normally I’m more then fine with that….that a big fan of O’Hare….BUT….O’Hare gives me the chance to get my beloved Chicago dog….the issue is that the layover is only 38min…..so is it worth paying $2-5 more for the slim possibility of getting my missed Chicago dog?
What do you think?

I tried really, really hard not to do my normal or push it at the gym…..even cut out jumping-jacks.
Ended up only cutting about 1/2-3/4 mile off the elliptical and 1/2 mile of the treadmill.
Yet, didn’t get the dripping and burning eye sweat that I’m use to. Not sure how to take it….but it did feel better then what I was doing just floor. 
Not really feeling any issues where I have been having them. Felt a little something in a different area.
Trying to be proactive and been doing the ice on and off today.
Didn’t wear the ankle wrap, if you get dependent on it, it weakens the muscle. The therapist said if I want to wear it to keep from doing something stupid, I should. So just going to wear it this week at work only….which is what I was doing anyway.
Good thing I start back on Sunday…..day off, was able to take my time and I skip on Monday’s. So it’ll give my ankle a rest. Then I’ll do the gym on Tuesday.
I was hoping to do my Tuesday-Friday cardio this week….but I’m going to see how I feel Tuesday before doing the gym Wednesday. Or I may not be able to get my cardio in 5 days this week….may have to do it every other day, and floor exercises on the other….we’ll see.
In a twisted sense, looking forward to regulars that I’m use to at the gym. We all know what what the other’s routine is and we work around it.
Today I get some guy singing outloud to his headphones! I’m like that is so rude. I know that I do it, but I do it when NO one is there….eye roll.
Another guy had come in and had looked at him and honestly with 2 guys in their 20s….that could’ve been a scene, so I told him “I can hear you over my Metallica”
That is pretty bad….lol But he was cool and I did it nicer then I felt like doing….lol
It is both relaxing and restless as hell not to do anything all day. I don’t know really how to describe other then that.
I’ve spent the week doing floor exercises at home before, means I get 30 more minutes of sleep. As the week as gone on, walking much, much better. Able to do the stairs without stutter-stepping…..and felt almost normal Friday.
But I have to keep reminding myself that it is not normal yet…..because one ankle is bigger then the other, so I can over do it.
Had my first appt with the physical therapist Friday. The very good news it is not a sprain, which indicates damaged ligaments/muscles. I over did it…..the muscles are inflamed.
I’ve been giving some exercises and I can start back at the gym tomorrow. BUT I will have to force myself not to push it, to take it easy, no idea how I’m going to do that. This is going to be hard…….ggrrr….. Happy to be active again and get back into part of my routine….still need a modified gym routine.
After doing a bunch of errands yesterday, I made a point of doing just about nothing today…..and boy it was nothing. I don’t even have 1300 steps on today! ICKS! I’ve had days up to 32,000. I did want to give my ankle a full day off.
We’ll see how it goes tomorrow….fingers crossed.
