My body feels like I got hit by a truck. But mentally I’m really understimulated.

I’m gonna go try and have a short walk to shock them bones. Hopefully there will be no unsavoury incidents

Some of those pets will be very grateful, maybe even taking their toys and blankets with them to new homes

This is why I have two doonas and covers.
I get the fresh one ready to go and when the pet gets up I swap them over lightning fast

Cat medical
Melbcat is getting a referral because her normal vet doesn’t feel confident handling this. I’m so stressed ___

Melbcat is going to the vet to be inspected today. I’ll have to remember to put her warm little wheat bag in the carrier before we head off.

Nooo. I hope you get through it okay

Is it that you only have one set that gets washed and used over and over?
I just buy a few sets of cheap sheets and rotate them

At home self led or with a physio?
If you can afford it maybe have a few physio sessions to learn the exercises safely and then quit (absconding with the exercise routine)

Thanks, I just went for one and it helped a little.
Everything that stabilises me is just in such a state of upheaval while none of the bad stuff changes -_-

She’s been getting warmed like an egg and had second breakfast

Cat medical, skip if it brings the thread down
I’ve emailed the vet asking about the risks of the procedure and if there can be safer compromises. I forgot to ask about things like cryotherapy, damn. Anyway I’ve asked to discuss options. I might have found a new larger lesion, don’t know. A photo has been dispatched to the specialist. ___
I’ve got the electric blanket on low and am snorgling the pudding. She’s had breakfast and treats then we both went back to bed.

Cat health, cancer mention, surgery mention
I got a reply and it could be a Bowenoid in situ carcinoma which isn’t caused by light and I don’t need the UV film. A biopsy and surgical removal can be done by Melbcat’s usual vet but it requires a general anaesthetic. I’ll talk to them about it. I have fears due to her age and blood pressure (and a dream about her not surviving a surgery before any of this was discussed). But if she has a good chance of pulling up okay I might think about it. In the meantime while I weigh things up and maybe arrange it I’ll continue the Aldara. ___

Cat medical, bummer, cancer mention
I read the email with Melbcat’s blood results and her kidneys have improved but the specialist is saying that the lesions may be in situ carcinoma. So they might have already turned cancerous without spreading deeper than the skin yet. I’m trying to stuff down my emotions and just remain upbeat as possible but spent last night bawling and panicking. Going through old pictures the first spot seems to have visibly appeared in January ‘23 (and I thought it was cat acne from not being allowed to wipe asthma medication off her face, then just a booger or a scab) so while actinic keratosis is slow to spread or or turn it’s had ample time before I realised what it was. Deeply regret not buying the pet sunscreen years ago when I was going to. I’ll also have to be mean and stop her sunbathing at the window. The Aldara cream may still be effective if the spots are cancerous, as long as they’re very thin and surface level, but it’s important that she can’t lick it off. There’s also the chance that the cream causes too much irritation and another treatment has to be pursued. I’m really scared. ___
