Hi all!
I am still hanging in there with my cat, Lorelei. She is a fighter, and I love her soooo much. I have had her for 13 years. The thing is that I need to get a different type of anti fungal medication in her body to help combat this infection. I had lab work done on her on Sunday to check out her liver and kidney function because I had to up her meds. I just got the results TODAY!!! I have been calling and calling this doctor. She called me,and I missed her by 15 minutes, and I called her back. She didn't answer her call, nor did she call me back today. I spoke to the receptionist, and I explained that Lorelei needed this medication to get her well, and that I needed a call back from her so she could call the prescription in. Needless to say she never called me. I am going to see Lorelei's regular vet tomorrow. I would have gone to her regular vet in the first place, but she was not in on Sunday, and I had to go to professional development on Monday and Tuesday, and I needed to get the diagnostics back as soon as I could since they said they had an in-house lab. Well, the testing machine "broke" when I was there
So they said they had to send it out. They should have had the results back on Monday night. As you can see I am furious about this.
I will let you know if I am able to see Lorelei's regular vet tomorrow. She is wonderful, and I left her this long message about what has been going on with her.
As far as my eating patterns. I am doing ok. Still at 35 lb loss so I have not gained any weight, but I have not lost any. I have been eating regularly, but I have been exercising. Yesterday and today I went bike riding with my son. Woooo, I am out of shape to say the least. What a workout!!!!!!!!!!!
I also have been doing A LOT of housework. Cleaning polishing, carpet cleaning. Lorelei is living in my study so I can keep her confined. My rug in that room is ruined! At least I can keep the doors closed. They are glass doors so she can see everything that is going on in the family room, plus she has a window she suns near during the day.. I put her kennel in there as well so she can sleep in it.
I am totally freaked out as you can see, but I am managing to hold it together. I will be having my surgery on the 28th. This weekend I go to have my pre-op tests.
My kids and husband are fine as well as my two dogs
Thanks everyone for the support. Thanks Kathy, Jane, Chris for all the support!!!!!!!! I need it right now. I am so greatful.

Have a very good day. Good luck at your pre-surgical testing.

Try to drink lots of water and exercise as much as you have time for.

Hi Connie! I hope your cat is on her way back to recovery. 
I wanted to come by and thank you for posting to my journal. I've been away a few months but I'm back full force. I had gotten to a nasty plateau and got a bit discouraged but I got to a point where I didn't want that to be an excuse anymore. There's no way I want to sabotage all that I've worked for this past year.
I want to say that I admire the fact that you're trying to stay physically active. It's something I really struggle with because I work long hours.
Anyway, hang in there and the weight will come off. Just keep looking forward and take it one day at a time. Take care!

yes,
today I have neamed myself little miss piggie. Not that I ate too much, but I ate the wrong things. the Principal of my school had a meeting at this cool restaurant, and I had to have a blt with french fries. YUMMY Then I had two slices of a thin crust pizza for dinner. Nothing else though. Loads of carbs, and I might add they were good.
I am thinking about going on WW for I think it would work for me now since I am not blowing up eating regular foods. I might conserve on the carbs like I am doing (for the most part.) I will be glad when school starts because it will be easier for me to get into a schedule. My son is also concerned with his weight because he plays tennis and he feels that his weight is slowing him down on the tennis court. I told him I will make more salads for his lunch and healthy snacks like carrots. We stopped eating fast food in January, and when I asked him if he wanted a filet of fish from mc donalds he thought I was joking. LOL.
But he is 4'7" and he weights 92 lbs. so he could afford to lose around 10 pounds. I thought he would start to grow out of his weight, but it seems to continue to creep up on him despite his playing tennis for three hours a day 5 days a week.
My dear Lorelei is hanging in there glad to say, and her gait is improving everyday with this new medicine she is taking. I just hope her liver can continue to handle it.

Glad to hear your kitty is doing better. Hopefully she can keep up on this medicine and get much more better.
Hey, those foods do sound good. Maybe getting on WW would be good if you are having a hard time getting a variety of foods with some veggies and fruits in your diet. Those are important and I know I feel worse on days that I don't get much of them in mine.
Keep on

Your cat is so cute. I'm glad she's feeling better. My ds snuck a 7 week old kitty into our home a few months ago. We were scared to death our labrador retriever would accidentally harm her but thankfully we haven't had any problems. In the end, we've decided to keep her. Cats sure are different from dogs & its been a struggle getting used to her. Hang in there with the workouts & diet!

Today I got through the surgery, and I am in a great deal of pain so I will be off here in a second.
Doc says he didn't see anything "bad" Thank goodness. The ovary is now gone.
Lilly gator I think I am going to go on WW so I will give it a try. Do you do it online or go to meetings?
