Can you believe it?
Another rain-free, beautiful sunny day in the country!
As for me? Tis was a GOOD day!
Even for our Cuddles kitty. Tis was a good day! Our veterinarian started Cuddles on a new non-steroid pain and anti-inflammatory combo medication. They just received the new medication, so unfortunately we had no prior information on how well it worked for other elder cats under their care. As for day 3 and just how well Cuddles is doing on the new medication? Better than anticipated! A-OK!
We weren't feeling very comfortable on if our 19-year young Cuddles would be able to make another huge move in the next few weeks. Of course, the great undeniable fighting spirit runs within our entire little family. Expect the unexpected! The fighting spirit within!
There is a lot going on this week with the finalizing of our move still going full-steam ahead. We have one final truck with a few pieces of furniture and spare storage totes to move this weekend. Then of course, we must once again figure out what we can and can not fit inside our new home. Wayyyy off yonder, deep in the woods and far out in the country. For those who watched the new television show, 'Hunted.' Let's just say that we could easily disappear within the site of our new home. POOF! Eric having a bad day and needs time to clear his mind? Now he has hundreds of acres to do so! Heeheeheehee! It's going to be quite interesting... I can't wait for the new way of life and a far less is MORE way of living that will begin within the next few weeks. WOO~HOO!
I am already scheduled for my re-evaluation and medical review later this week. Another SSD possibility when it comes to going back to work. Not being able to work has gotten old. Very old. I have a lot to prove and even though there are many patients, even cancer patients, that still work during their journey. My seizures seem to be the biggest issue for me when it comes to gaining a temporary SSD work permit. My SSD attorney calls it, a huge liability on possibly hurting myself or someone else while having a seizure. Of course, I can understand the concerns, but I don't plan on working under any type of big corporation. Not this time around. First we must be able to prove that I can work. Medically. The possibility of stem cell therapy and the benefits, minus the side effects, is very exciting! Stem cell therapy can actually reverse damage to the immune system, while quickly rebuilding the immune system. Not in years, but in months. Of course, I must first jump through all the hurdles that are in front of me. I still hold onto hope, but as well, I must remain realistic.
Anything is possible. Any outcome is possible.
Spring and summer means this gal must increase her fluids! So far, I have accumulated quite an array of daily fluids, lots of supplemental protein and electrolyte beverages. Yes, this is a typical counter of drinks that I consume on a daily basis. Since I can no longer process solid food and can't afford risking another partial obstruction. It's a liquid way of life here on out for me! Lots of fluids, extra vitamins, minerals and protein.
Eric? He remains determined to continue positive changes within his own daily diet. No more red meats and instead lots of healthy fish. Today's dish? Baked cod with organic herbal seasoning and Amish garlic butter. I used to be a tilapia kind of seafood gal, but the baked cod actually smelled really good! Zero added salt in this dish, since we are eliminating a lot of sodium from his diet. Eric gave his lunch-dinner a thumbs-UP! It's going to be a bit different when it comes time to cook in our new home, but the healthy choices will still remain. Healthy food=Happy hubby!
We both slept really good after our bike ride yesterday along the river trails. The first time we both have gotten on our bikes in almost a year. I am also very surprised to say that I woke up in zero pain! Crazy! This makes me wonder what my next rescan will show that is scheduled in a mere 5 weeks. I have a hunch, that the largest tumor is positioned higher up. In a far more comfortable location. It has yet to disappear, but one can only hope that it remains where it is today. No pain means another chance to hit the trails and what a beautiful evening to do so...
