Rocky's 14.
He's been up and down for days... very lethargic, has looked out of it, and at times his breathing has looked irregular... hasn't been eating, and had shown little interest in drinking water, even though I kept putting fresh cold bowls of it by him. We have been giving him lots of love and affection, and he has still been enjoying that.
I was so happy because he started to perk up a bit yesterday. He looked better, was moving around more, drank more water, ate a little, and used the box a couple of times. He doesn't look very good this morning, but maybe he will just have some good days and bad days for a while? IDK.

I'm sorry that you have to worry about Nipper like that all the time, Donna
21 is a long life for a pet... you must have loved him, and cared for him, very well.


The test for Lyme is just a blood test. It's treated with oral or IV antibiotics. I don't know how they decide which way to administer them. The test results are pending until tomorrow.

I went online and was able to get the rest of the test results tho:
I do not have a UTI, but there are signs of my kidney disease in my urine that have never popped up before (it's been apparent in my blood tho), but at least they're mild. I see the nephrologist on the 24th, and I'll have more labs, which will hopefully be better, before I go.
My total white count is normal, but my eosinophils are still high, so are my lymphocytes, and my neutrophils are low. But my WBC break down has been off since September, and there hasn't been much change. Nothing earth shattering there.

Rocky is doing much better!
He is moving around more, looking a little better, and eating again (and actually keeping it down now). He may hang in there for quite a while!
He is farting constantly tho, and they are heinous!!!

I do not have Lyme disease.
I got a love note from an RN saying that my PCP looked at my lab results and everything was "all good." lol

But... NO. I had already viewed the results on the hospital's website. And while my total WBC count was normal, my eosinophils and lymphocytes were high, and my neutrophils were low. This has been going on since September. So, I thought about it in context, and said while I was happy all the testing came back negative, I was still feeling like s- and was concerned about the WBC diff, especially since I now have large swollen lymph nodes in my groin.

I got a message back from the RN saying that she and my PCP went over my lab results and imaging "in detail," and he was ordering more blood work, an ultrasound of my groin to check the lymph nodes, and a brain MRI (I would rather have my neuro decide if that is necessary or not tho), and they would "get to the bottom of what's going on with (me)."

I had my blood drawn yesterday, and the ultrasound is on Monday. The MRI is scheduled for the 17th, but I hope it's not necessary.
I should be able to view the routine lab results tomorrow, but I don't know how long the "fancy" blood tests take.

I just want to feel better, but I'm sick of all this f- s-

In happier news, I got my nails done yesterday. They are a beautiful shade of violet

I am glad to hear that Rocky is doing better. I am sorry that they still haven't figured out what is going on with you, but at least they were able to rule out lyme disease.

I could view all my recent lab results right now. He ordered another CBC with diff (even tho I JUST had one drawn), but he also ordered other blood work that I don't think I should look at because I don't think I could handle the results if they came back irregular. At the same time, I don't know if I can NOT look at them.

I read the doctor's order for the inguinal (groin) ultrasound, but it says it's just for the left side. The swollen lymph nodes are on both sides. If they think I'm going back to have the right side imaged later because of their error, they are mistaken.

Corey's birthday is tomorrow, our anniversary is Tuesday, and my birthday is Wednesday. Corey's favorite meal is strip steak and mashed potatoes, so that is what I'll be making him tomorrow night for dinner. We may do something next weekend for our anniversary. IDK what I want to do for dinner on my bday.

We have to do laundry today. We're both really excited about that. lol. I'd like to leave early because it's supposed to get up to 88 degrees in the afternoon.

I have to buy a new Keurig because we're encountering new problems with the one we have now. I will have to do some research before I buy a new one tho. I bought the one we have now at BBB with a 20% off coupon, but we'll see...
