Tuesday Topics (AND CAT UPDATE)
When Jenn asked me to cohost the Tuesday Topics linkup, I said “Umm…. are you sure about that?” I’m absolutely terrible about keeping to the topic! She assured me that the topic is just a prompt, and the important thing is that we have a supportive blogging community to share with. This weeks topic is “Show us your year in bling” and I’ll start with that! I did have some bling this year… just a little. Here I am with Darlene after the Ft Lauderdale half marathon, holding our massive medals: I was treating this race as a long run, and I ran two miles before the race started and planned to run a couple more at the end. That turned out to be nearly impossible, because it was very crowded AND I had this heavy medal that jingled loudly with every step. Oops. Then there was my big race, the Skunk Ape 50 miler! Not exactly bling, but I got this little plaque: Okay! Here’s what’s happening with Charlotte… we think she had a stroke. She’s not in pain, but she can’t move her back legs. I took her to the vet today and we agreed that it doesn’t make sense to do anything too extreme (MRIs, ultrasounds, etc.) He prescribed a round of steroids just to see what happens, and she’ll continue to take her thyroid meds. We also had the “quality of life” discussion, but I’m not ready to go there yet. She’s comfortable! We have her set up in our bedroom- she rests, eats, drinks, and can get herself in and out of the litter box (although that’s not always a neat and tidy experience). We’ll see how she does with the steroids and go from there.
