Not too festive
Work has been exhausting and I've felt unappreciated and am tense about dangerous situations, enough so to be quite irritable in a reply to the boss' email. There's to be a meeting with the whole staff....
So, I came home on Thursday morning and felt exhausted and as Mom was tired and didn't want to eat, we put the bird back in the fridge and went to bed. We had soup and cornbread for dinner.
Friday, I got up and set the holiday meal in motion (pushing buttons on the new stove with some success.) Mom stayed in bed and had two *very* small meals. I pestered her to drink more but she is quite stubborn at times. In the end, only me and Reggie had much turkey and I put everything away in tupperware. Scooter spent the day throwing up. He was hungry but about 10 mins after eating, it would all come up. He did have a furball on Thursday apparently, so maybe there's more down there. He's extremely thin already from the chronic renal failure so something like this is not good.
Today, Mom was very weak and starting to get a bit confused. This evening we went to the Kaiser ER for 3.5 hours. They tested bits of her and gave her a liter of fluid which perked her right up and antibiotics for a spot of pneumonia. She's not been coughing so I was a bit surprised. After the liter of fluid, she is much stronger and walking better so they let her come home where I foisted more turkey off on her and we watched Ugly Betty. Hopefully, she will continue to eat and drink and get stronger. As for Scooter, I think he has finally kept down some dinner tonight, though I must peer about looking for kitty vomit to be sure he's on the mend.
Reg on the other hand has set his cap to eat all the turkey he can. The last two times I fed him, he demanded seconds *and* thirds! A cat has to have ambitions, I guess.
It's been a very tiring and worrisome few days but hopefully things will be better tomorrow, even though it's back to work for another 3 nights (and me with a bad attitude.) Oh joy.
