Oops! Dougy’s trying to sleep and I’m disturbing him. (That’s his grumpy face.)
So he rolls over on his head and hides behind a paw. Hmm.
=(^+^)=
Día de los Muertos, November 2nd, I partially graduated to dialysis using the new fistula. “Partially” because one line used the fistula, and the other used one of the catheter lines. Once it is established the fistula is fully adequate for use, the catheters will be removed. The best part about that is I’ll be able to take showers again!
Don’t know about sleeping cats; Pyshka is lulling herself to sleep while sucking my shirt under my arm. She still thinks I am Mommy.
I wish you best of luck with the new fistula, Doug! Praying for you.
Thanks, Dolly! I know something to look for for safety’s sake, though, and will be less tolerant of rough needle insertions since I believe that contributed to the rupture later on by weakening the fistula wall.
I think my kitty boys confuse me with their mommy, too, though mostly by the kneading behavior. Dougy is especially active that way.
We are feline parents, certainly. Beba is the kneading one (incidentally, she got a clean bill of health this morning!), while Barmalei is always in my face, kissing, licking my nose, and grooming my eyelashes with his paw. Pyshka is the only one who keeps sucking like a baby.
I hope your medical procedure is safe and successful, Doug!
Removal of the catheters involves knocking me out with anesthesia. I “sleep” through the whole procedure, wake up in recovery, and basically feel pretty good afterwards. I don’t have problems with any part of the procedure, and the staff involved and I are old pals by now!
In that case, sleep well and wake up feeling great, Doug. Praying for you…
Thanks, Dolly!
Very welcome!
I hope you are back to health soon.
I feel like I am back to my normal, which is to say, healthy within the “new normal” established in Winter-Early Spring 2016, when I began settling into the dialysis routine.
Hope you are well, Doug – 🙂 amitiés
I feel healthy again! Thanks!
Lots of cats posted as sleeping today on monday morning! Ours didn’t even bother to post anything!
I vacillate on the matter of day posts. Today would have been a good one to draw on archived photos of the kitty boys since the ones I emailed to my laptop haven’t appeared yet. Consequently, what I posted is to meet expectations that there will be a daily post, though it is rather thin material.
What a sweet sleepy kitty face!
Good new on the dialysis, Doug. Hope all continues to go well.
I hope so, too. I have a better sense of what to look for for safety’s sake now, and realize needle insertions that are a bit rough can damage the fistula wall to the point of contributing to an aneurysm. In past, I just endured a but of discomfort when a person hooking me up to the machine couldn’t find the buttonhole track and tried to force it into a false track that partially healed shut. (A bit of a grisly description – just know that I can feel the difference and will make waves now that I know it can cause me long tern problems of a life-threatening sort!)
Yeah, they are both sweet-faced when sleeping. LOL!
I am glad to hear you will speak up for yourself, Doug!
Patients need to be involved in their care! Part of successful partnership with the medical professionals is being as informed as possible about your condition.
Dougy sure does look grumpy! Showers are a wonderful thing, enjoy! 😎
Kitty faces are more expressive than one realizes till you are around them daily! As for showers, I live for the day I can have them again! I just never feel clean by any other method of washing oneself.
hugs and POTP to you !!! …let sleeping cats lie… or they will turn into a lion LOL
or a lie-on?
RAWR1 If it’s Andy. Dougy is more mellow about it.
