* Tuesday afternoon, I go in to have my sinus infection interrogated by a back up Doctor. I am always wary of back up Doctors, because my medical file is huge and complicated and there are inevitably concerns such as "Does this Doctor know anything about CF carrier?" (or my other long list of stuff, but the cf carrier is pertinent here.) It usually saves everyone time and energy if I wait a couple weeks for my Doctor to be free, but I figure the infection is already documented and it's a matter of this infection being antibiotic resistant, so I'm willing to gamble.
When I get home from that we crate up poor Livia baby and I take her back down town for her bladder appointment.
I wanted to thank everyone one more time. I have no words for how big a help you've all been in this crisis. I've never had a vet emergency before where there was enough money to jut do what the cat needs done and not have to worry about if I'd have enough for what she needs. I can just buy her food or take her to an appointment without panicking over every penny. Having a sick cat is terrifying, but the support you all have given us is a constant help and comfort.
I did manage the errand list today despite everything. (Forage, pharmacy, library, post office.)
