Blah.

The Anacin does help, it does work. For whatever reason Tylenol does not seem to cut the pain at all after a few days of trying. I am just now in the kind of shape to consider a drive into town. Being so late though, I am torn. Then again, I am not sure I can sleep well anyway, while the lungs fill more deeply since I can't use the diuretics without the mineral supplements. If I have ever wanted to reach for something and make the drive, this would be it. That doesn't mean it will be done. I hate that. I still don't know why I can't simply force the thing, it seems easy enough. Just push and shove and... end up falling asleep more exhausted than I would have been and no more successful. Still, I am keeping the notion... available.

My legs have been freezing the last few nights. While the main of my body remains warm (or warm enough) to nearly seemingly feverish at times, my legs from the waist down have been impossible to keep warm. I turned the furnace to 72 F, put on socks and sweats. In spite of my feet still seeming to sweat in the socks, my legs are still cold and not just seemingly cold (as I first wondered). My legs are physically cold to the touch. Ah well, who knows what goes on with the anatomy. A doctor would first tell me it was impossible, then tell me I'm crippled, then tell me to go to psychiatry. Or... don't ask a doctor.

I can't yet tell if the vasoline is working on Sam. Exclusion of action is not proof of potential future inaction. Still, it has been a few days and I have not heard her retch once. Other than that, her behavior is normal. Sassy's symptoms are changing. Her stools, while still a bit stinky, no longer gag me from across the house. She is urinating a great deal more (though that might be both cats, but wet cat food contains a great deal more fluid too). I will have to change the litter box a bit more, they hide their stool well, but there is no hiding urine.

I have started feeding them packets of Friskeys. Initially I thought it said one pack per cat twice a day. And, while it does, there was a piece I was missing. It actually says to feed a pack per cat twice a day per 5 pounds cat weight. I have increased the feed, to much rejoicing. After a day of unusual begging by the girls, I decided to revisit the instructions. Whatever the case, three packs per cat per day seems to be enough. Any more and they leave lots of food. Changing food types is odd, but they are loving it. I will be getting more cat food, and more milk, when I go into town. And more litter. I will be getting dry cat food too, for times I may need to be out of the house for a longer period of time. Oh, and I will do a little research on which cat foods are best, by brand. Reading labels in the store is a quick way to simply burn out. Especially with products which seem to have no real requirement to be very open or possibly even honest.

Later or good night.
