More Max stuff
Mar. 22nd, 2002 09:17 amHe's home and very relieved to be done with vet stuff (until next Thursday when they'll keep him for the day again and monitor his glucose levels). We have to give him an insulin shot 1X a day at the same time (though we can vary 1-2 hours if necessary and he should be OK). That kind of rules out any weekend trips away unless we can find someone willing to come over at 7:30 in the morning, feed him and then wait 1/2 hour to shoot him up. It was so odd going to the 24 hour CVS in Watertown last night around 11:30 to buy insulin and syringes for a cat.
His heart is OK, they shaved a bit of his tummy to do an echocardiogram (I think that's the test that they did - whatever it was it cost us $200) so he looks a bit funny. Though he's slightly off the vet said its nothing to be worried about. We'll have to have another test in 6-8 months to make sure he's still OK.
I'm really hoping that once the steriod from his Asthma shot leaves his body he'll get back to normal . . . having to be home each morning and awake between 7:30 and 8:00 AM is going to seriously effect our ability to go on weekend trips (which are generally easy with cats because you just leave them food for 3 days and go) and I won't be able to sleep late on Saturdays and Sundays anymore. At least he was cool this morning with the shot - he was SO irritated last night when we picked him up at the Vet's. B was freaked out because he had never seen him hiss before.

I'm just looking forward to getting back to "normal" life in other areas. I decided to skip going to K's equinox celebration tonight for some good ole fashioned cheeze and violence - seeing Blade II in Reveeeah (baby)!
