Trip to the vet

My cat Max hasn't been feeling well for the past several days. I was out of town last week and had him boarded with the Vet after he went for a thryoid check-up and to see why he was loosing weight. The Vet took some blood to check his thryoid and sugar level. I went down to Atlanta for a week and came back on Thursday night. Max was home and eating and seemed to be doing okay. Well, on Friday, he stopped eating and didn't eat for the rest of the weekend. He kept drinking water but that was it. I took him to the Vet Emergency Doctor this morning and she felt that Max had fluid on his lungs. She did a chest tap and drew off 365 milliliters! He's home now and seems to be doing a little better although he has yet to eat anything. I think he's just stressed because of the operation today and the shot of lasik he got to remove the existing fluid. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because he's been with me since he was a baby (January 1992).
Happy Memorial Day everyone!

What does it mean someone left the cake out in the rain?

Thursday - man, I wish it were Friday already! This week, while it's gone by faster than normal, certainly was a busy week. Weather here has been crazy. Cold one day, hot the next, rain, wind..I thought this was the middle of May?! Tried the new Pizza Hut pasta dish - the chicken alfredo. You know, it wasn't bad at all. I recommend it (all my Italian friends are disowning me now I know....). I wanted to go out of town this weekend, but I need to take Max to the vet to have him re-checked out. The Vet said he has hyper-thyroidism, so I have to give him a pill twice a day - have you ever tried to give a cat a pill? You should try..it's an experience! So, I want to see how the medicine is working.

Vegas Vacation (repost from original blog)

My sister and I spent a few days over my 45th birthday out in Las Vegas. She had never been there before. We flew from JFK on JetBlue and spent 3 nights at the Bellagio. Visited Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon as well as the spa thing.

It was a very nice time. Our Mother passed away a few months before, so we needed the time away and together.

To Mom (reposting from my original blog)

Mom,
It's been less than 4 months since God called you home to be with him, Dad and all of your loved ones that were waiting for you. There isn't a day go by that I don't miss you and think about picking up the phone to call you. While with my head I wouldn't want to bring you back, with my heart I would bring you back in a minute! I think of all the time we said "no regrets" when the time came, but I would give anything to have just another few minutes with you.
I love you so much,

Your son, DeWayne
