I'm beginning to think this isn't really a cat.

The same day he stole the sandwich out of my purse, he stole two servings of spicy hot Chicken Korma, and I caught him lapping up my Cranberry and Grapefruit Body Crème.

I suspect he's really an alien, sent here by his overlords for intelligence-gathering on humans.

Unfortunately, they weren't very well-versed in cat behaviour and dietary preferences.

Click the little gear icon on the far right and choose Delete Post.

I'm not sure what he is, but he's certainly special!  I've had cats that ate unusual things.  Had one who'd kill for either cantaloupe or blueberries and another who adored broccoli.  The one who ate the cantaloupe also loved corn, while the other one loved lima beans.  Succotash was a very popular side dish at our house. Sushi, though, seems like one who'll eat just about anything he can get in his mouth!  He might be a goat reincarnated!

I went back to the clinic last week. I'm no better.

They did an X-Ray but the doc treating me said it looked fine to him.

Yesterday I got a call from the clinic that the radiologist took a look at it and they want me to come back in. They don't tell you to come in because you're fine.

I'd be really glad if they actually found something. Then they could work on fixing it. I also have a appointment with a rheumatologist next week.

This is getting ridiculous. I still cry when I try to get dressed.

I'm going back on Monday and I'll see what they have to say.

[Jaguar]

What happened at the clinic Welts ?

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry!  I do hope they're able to pinpoint the problem and do something about it.  When are you going to find out what the radiologist is concerned about?  Please, keep us posted!

Nothing good.

The radiologist spotted something on my lung when looking at the X-Ray of my shoulder.

[Jaguar]

Oh freaking crap.

Well, you know what they say..."God never closes a door without opening a window."

If I have lung cancer, that will clear my pesky shoulder problem right up!

OMG, don't even think it!  What's the plan, welts?

[Jaguar]

Yeah Welts I hope this ain't lung cancer.

I don't know yet. They did a series of chest X-Rays. It was problematic, because I couldn't put my arms over my head. We'll see what the radiologist says.

[mmhmm]

Please keep us informed.  You'll be in my thoughts, hon.

[weltschmerz]

Thanks.

We are forecast for 107 this weekend ... yuck.

[mmhmm]

Eeeew, molly!  That sounds miserable!

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

Yep.

[mmhmm]

We're supposed to be in the low to mid 80s with daily T-storms for the next 10 days.  Can we say humid? 

[Jaguar]

We are in the mid to high 70's for the next week.

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

It's now forecast for 109 on Monday.

[Jaguar]

Oh too bad, sorry. Stay cool.

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

Thank goodness for popsicles and a swimming pool!

[weltschmerz]

Well, I'm finally feeling better. We're waiting for the results of the Nuclear medicine scan. In the meantime, the rheumatologist has me on a lot of Empracet and eight prednisone pills a day. It's not ideal, but it seems to be working. It still hurts, but I can pull my own pants up without crying.

My face is swollen, I'm ravenous and I can't sleep.

At least I can move around, some.

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

That sounds like an improvement ... here's hoping you keep improving!

I just harvested three kinds of tomatoes from my garden

[mmhmm]

Welts, I do hope it keeps improving and you can get off the Prednisone. It's a good drug that does what it's supposed to do but it sure has some icky side-effects.

[Jaguar]

Yes if this keeps you going forward to getting rid of this pain that's so good.

My house should be in Better Homes and Gardens.

It's bad enough that the Demon Cat From the Seventh Circle of Hell has destroyed my couch right down to the bare wood, with tufts of stuffing leaking out. The lamps are broken and the plants have been destroyed.

Now I have to have white tape over my windows in a X shape.

There's a ledge between the glass windows and the screens of about 5 inches. Sushi likes to sit there and howl at the world, yelling at the local fauna to get the hell off his lawn. I have to shut the windows at night because the neighbours complain. Stupid cat doesn't realize the windows are closed and takes a flying leap, slamming head-first into the glass. Hard. I'm really afraid he'll hurt himself.

He comes staggering out with the proverbial cartoon birds circling his head. I've put tape on the windows, hoping he'll do the math...when he sees the tape, the windows are shut.

My home is looking better and better every day.

House Beautiful, here I come! I should be on the cover!

Stupid cat.

[mmhmm]

Gotta love the demon cats! Without them our lives would be soooo mundane!
