Awww Diane, I'm so sorry to hear about Paul's brother, it's so hard to go through, my best wishes to both of them. I'm glad you called your MD, hopefully the prescription works, as otherwise you're just going to wear yourself out, like I did when Roger got so sick.
I didn't get to the mailbox yet, will go in a bit, I know the box got to Customs day b4 yesterday, so hoping it will be in today or tomorrow. He needs that gel as well as the Betadine. No I haven't called the vet yet, but I'm home for awhile, so will call her in the am after I get home from dropping off my car, it needs a checkup, it's been 2 years, need to make sure everything is sound.
I saw my diabetic specialist yesterday and he agreed that I looked exhausted. I just don't feel well, everything hurts, my ankle more than anything else, so I'm taking some time off work. I see my family doc (well her replacement, she's still on medical leave) next Thursday, so will go over everything with her then, will be on short term by then, but it will be another 5 weeks before I even get an appointment with the ankle specialist. I'm hoping to be back to work on Oct 15, but may take another week, not sure at this point. I'm tired of feeling exhausted, I toss and turn at night, too, but do get some sleep. So I'll see how it goes. At least I get 2 mo of short-term at 100% pay before my salary decreases.
I fed Titan roaches today, he ate 4, which is more than he's eaten for a week. He's also extremely
thirsty, so is
drinking like crazy every day. The vet doesn't want him in water more than 5 minutes, which isn't enough time for him to absorb water, so instead of putting him in water at all, I'm feeding him water by syringe and he's
drinking loads every day, so that should help. The meds he's taking seem to dry him out a lot. Poor baby, I so agree it's time for him to get well.
Hugs to you and Paul and your families.
Take care
Deb
