What a roller coaster!
No poop from Annie till late yesterday afternoon, so I spent most of the day on a roller coaster of emotions. Called the vet clinic in the AM to reorder her thyroid meds and book an appointment for her tomorrow at 2:20PM...just in case.
Finally, there was poop in the upstairs litter box, could only be hers, still too dry, but at least moving.
More poop from Annie in the upstairs box when I got up around 4AM...and even more poop from her in one of the basement litter boxes.
Whew!
I suspect we both feel better, at last.
I think it's just a matter of tweaking the dose of RestoraLAX (i.e. MiraLAX) she's getting, then adding fibre to her diet, finding her something better to eat (if she will), etc.
No, I didn't go to the movie yesterday, no way could I have sat still for two hours. But I did go downtown for a hot drink and cookie and to pick up a few things from Dollarama. I even walked the 5+ kms home -- some long overdue and much-needed gentle exercise and fresh air.
Since the outlook is a little brighter today, I might actually feel like doing something -- maybe a Value Village run. I'll see. Maybe I'll feel like a pyjama day.
Thank you all again for the continued purrs and purrayers and Light and good thoughts, here and on the Fuzzy Tales blog (which I'll probably update tomorrow).
I have to admit, I'm exhausted from this roller coaster ride!

Great that you got to stretch your legs and relax your mind though!!! It's so important to have time outs to yourself too and to treat yourself to nice things!!!! I hope that whatever you do today will bring you much needed respite and rest from your cathartic week!!! My goodness!!!!
Ooooh icicles!! That's some cold weather you're having!! Take extra special care - hugs again to you, amazing Annie (and she is pretty darned amazing,isn't she!??!!?!!!), Derry and Nicki! xx
Glad things seem to be moving along..hugs to Annie :)
Cool shots of the icicles!
when our beloved cats got older, we used to give them tinned sardines or mackerel in oil, once or twice a week which seemed to help keep everything moving smoothly. not sure if it would help but might be worth a shot?
remember to look after you too, rest up :)
I'm glad you got out and had a walk, it's a good stress reliever, and justifies TWO cookies--at least!
Give your crabby tabby a pat from me and tell her to keep up the good work.
We are so happy to hear Ahhhh things are moving along!
Also glad to know your load is lighter and that you feel the relief. Now just get the dosage right and you'll have Annie all straighten out!
We are all so glad!
Kim, Sam & I say you could use a little pajama r&r, maybe some extra naps like we take. After all, cats really know the ins and outs of living the life of naps.
