Diabetes

I just got back from the vet and one cat is fine. Yes she's lost alot of her teeth but she has enough to still eat with and is otherwise healthy. The other cat we had left there over night because she was having obvious problems with her urinary tract. (Sorry when the first thing I smell is urine throughout the house coming home from vacation there's a problem. Especially since I had to mop the entire floor before I could let Eyes roam free.) So today the vet informed me that she has diabetes and it is because of her urinary tract infection that it was discovered. Which means I now have to give my cat insulin shots. And yes it was expensive but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Also depending on the amount of insulin Shhh requires will depend on how fast we go through a bottle. So at the moment she is looking a lot better than yesterday and is more active. She will actually go farther than just the kitchen where food and water are and then back to her litter box.

It does mean more trips to the vet for the first few months and the glaucoma index test will be expensive but she should have a few more happy years ahead of her. Hubby and I talked and once again decided that since we had originally made the commitment to the cats that we really need to follow through on it. I know both my parents and my mother in law will be wanting us to get rid of them even more now but it is not their decision. Even though Hubby is mildly allergic we have been able to keep it mostly under control so it doesn't bother him too much. And now that I have taken over the cat litter duty it should be better on him too. Though if his health or the kids health are seriously affected then we will find a new home for the cats. It will just be trickier with one of them being diabetic. It is going to take me awhile to wrap my head around it that's all.

Other than that my week is busy busy busy and I still don't have half the things done that I wanted done before the wedding this week. Sigh! To be honest it wouldn't be nearly so bad if the only the Gamer's Plague would leave me alone. So tomorrow will be another fun filled day of phone calls, shopping and rerouting the kids requests into things more reasonable and yet still fun!
