Hope, too

OK, this post you can read. It's a bit more optimistic. Taking Mist to the cat clinic was better than I expected. Yes, she was mad, sad, disappointed in me, and looking for a way to escape. However, she did not seem to be a cat on the verge of dying, just upset. The doctor, a different…

Hope

If you've stopped reading my blog posts because they've become too depressing, I support and applaud that decision. Last night, Mist vomited once every couple of hours. She wouldn't stay on my bed, because she knew she'd vomit and she wanted to be ready. This morning Mist is under my bed. This means she's in pain. My…

The next step

Mist is going to be hospitalized tomorrow. If all goes as expected, I'll pick her up on Friday. <lj-cut> I'm giving her lactic ringers, so she isn't become dehydrated. But she vomits a few hours after I give her the SQ fluids. She can't take in anything orally (food, water, pills) without vomiting it up. She needs…

You probably should not read this post. It deals with impending death of my pet cat Mist. <lj-cut> The events up to this point: About a month ago, Mist went through an <a href="https://argothald.wordpress.com/97720/">episode</a> where she stayed under my bed for several days without eating or drinking. She after that she <a href="https://argothald.wordpress.com/97897/">came out</a> and her behavior…

The Talos Principle – Archived review

This is a great puzzle game. The graphics are amazing on the PS4. The story is that you are an AI within a computer simulation. The puzzles are set in an open-world environment, pock-marked with occasional terminals for backstory. Those terminals allow you to interact with another personality within the game who asks you increasingly difficult philosophical…

Want a comfy chair?

If you've been to my place, you've seen (and hopefully sat in) my comfy chair. It's a tan-colored (maybe; I'm not a good judge of color) suede armchair that I originally bought from Target. I'm replacing it, so if you'd like it please contact me. Details: There's nothing wrong with the chair. However, it's not the best…

Roll for initiative

After reading this article on board games to play during Thanksgiving, I so want to start gaming again. The problem is that I still can’t sit comfortably on a hard chair for a couple of hours. This Tuesday, I’m getting a special injection from my orthopedist that will hopefully deal with this problem. It’s a bit of…

Seeing and Sawing

I saw the doctor yesterday and got the results of the <a href="https://argothald.wordpress.com/97720/">MRIs</a>. It turns out that the injury was a bit worse than I thought: bad contusion or mild break in the coccyx; a herniated disc. I'd been pessimistic about my rate of healing, but now that we know the details the doctor was pleased with…

Saw-see

My cat Mist is definitely feeling better. She's started eating and drinking again, she's come out from under the bed to socialize. She's still prefers to spend most of her time there, but the last time I checked she went into her "you can pet me now" pose instead of just staying hunched over and looking away.…
