I am working on a metaphysical post inspired by an email I received a few days ago. I thought I would have it ready for Nick's Bytes yesterday. It's not. Sooooooo, because I want to post something, below are some updates and stuff that I believe may interest (most) of you:
ME. Today both the nurse who is teaching me to live with diabetes and the physical therapist came to my house. My basic signs were excellent and I am strengthening my legs and learning better ways of walking on the one that was injured by my tank, Backache, with the initial goal of being able to walk to the neat shops that are about a block from my house. In the past I would be fatigued by so much activity and have had to take a long nap. But today I'm NOT! I feel energized!
ALEX. The furball is back into his summer routine of catting around all night. Like any parent, it worries me when he's outside from 11:00 PM to 4:00 AM!
I need some advice regarding Alex's flea and tick medicine: I have always had difficulty finding bare skin to apply the medicine. Now it seems impossible! Try as I may, I can't part the hair on his neck or back to find skin. Do any of you cat parents have any ideas?
I'm glad that you are feeling energized by all of your therapy and such, Nick. I hope you get a lot out of the diabetes education and the P.T.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, living in Colorado, I have no need to know how to deal with flea and tick medicine for pets. Good luck with that!
The last Katz is my favorite. :-)
Good news about your physical improvement! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time since I put that med on a cat, and I know this sounds lame, but it is what it is! Sorry.
Hey that's good news about your mobility and energy, Nick. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAs for the fleas, my problem is holding the cats still while I apply it, especially schizi Mitzi. Fortunately, being indoor cats, they really don't have a flea problem. Tell Alex to stop his catting around...he's old enough to know better...or is he???
Wonder if the bus was on its way to, or from, "Ah Shit!"...Gave me a good laugh, either way!
ReplyDeleteGood news!
ReplyDeleteI guess Alex is jus doin' what kitties do.
Great LOLcats
Great to hear you are getting the support you need and it's working well Nick! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful about the improvement on your strength - keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAs for Alex, with Buddy, I go in against the grain of the hair and just press down and apply the medicine. It seems to work. I figure I'm getting most of it on his skin, and he only hates me for a little while. :-)
I, too, LOVE LOVE LOVE the last picture. So cute!
Good news (((Saintly)))
