not so hot

crap, i really hoped that after taking SUCH good care of myself all weekend I’d be feeling better today, but instead I feel worse! blah! around noon i was trying to do some work and just felt horrible, so went back to my station on the couch and ended up crashing out for another 3 hours.

super sad and scary news is my kitty seems to be having trouble swallowing. every time he does, it’s an exaggerated swallow, like it hurts him. :( poor baby!!! he’s still eating and drinking which is good, and seems fine energy & personality wise, but i will be calling the vet first thing tomorrow morning. unfortunately i know that this means i’ll probably have to take him in, which he hates! i’m dreading that already, but i’m worried about him, so i sure hope he’s ok.

    The same thing happened to our Maine Coon a few months back. It turned out to be a hairball. We had to give him this molasses-like stuff the vet gave us for a while until he got it out.

    ya, that’s what my friend recommended, too! she said it could also be a foxtail or something from in the yard prickly, which is so possible. anyway, I’m going to buy some right now! i can’t wait for him to pass it, the poor baby. he slept really close to me lastnight, i can tell he’s needin some extra TLC.

    You are sick too huh? did it start thursday? i distinctly remember taking a breath at Fort Oregon and knowing at that moment that i had just consumed someones germs. i slept 12-16 hours per day all weekend…

    Geoffry loves hairball goo. He eats it as a treat. Maybe the big K will be a fan too.

    ya, i was feeling run down thursday night, and friday I was hit hard… but I feel like it takes our bodies about 4 days to start, so I’m thinking I got it the Friday before when I was with my friends & their kiddos. kids=germs.

    Kazoo didn’t lick the molasses stuff right away, but seemed to think it was “interesting” once I smeared it on his tongue. :) I think it’s working… but this makes it official: I need to start brushing him more.

    Hope you feel better, T!

    Hey Willo, sorry to hear that things are on the sick side in your household. Stick to your liquids, both of you.

    On a fun note,the band I rep, Group Sounds is playing a show with Diamond Nights tonight in NYC. Worlds and bands are colliding. O and I am going to send you the new recordings for their full length, a bunch more fun stuff to listen to.

    Cheers
