If I go quiet

  . . . don't worry.  I am worried about Keith's health as after steadily going downhill for over a year now- he barely has the energy to even take dolly steps right now, and I really didn't think he was going to make it upstairs to bed last night.   I have asked for the GP to make a house call tomorrow as I don't think I can even get him to the car, let alone into it.  PD nurse says it is not the Parkinsons, so we need to find out what it is and she said it was quite possibly the Thyroid levels (she suffers too) though the tests apparently read "normal", but then it depends how thorough the test is. Keith has been put on the lowest possible dose and it's never been reviewed for efficacy.



I also have a very poorly Pippi - tummy upset.  I took her to the vet today and she cried when they took her temperature and then the vet went to give her an anti-sickness injection and said she might react and Pippi yelled in pain and sank her teefs into my finger - blood everywhere.   You know how sharp kittens' teefs are.  She's still not right although she's not been sick since this morning.  I just want her back to her bouncy galloping around self.  She's just had a tiny spoonful of the Big Boys' Whiskas and eaten it, so I will try that again in the morning.  Even Lulu's seemingly gone off their kitten food (pray SHE isn't going down with it too).


Gabby is coming over on Friday (her day off) - believe me, moral support never more needed.
