turpsThe vet phoned earlier and Milo's blood tests were fine, he still has minor kidney disease and his liver levels are a little off but nothing else serious at all. She thinks he may have had a gut infection or gum infection with him eating much more after the antibiotics, which is now getting better. As he is better, it's a case of finishing the tablets and going back if he does get ill again. He obviously does still have the hard growths she could feel and he can have a scan at a later date to investigate. But, as she said, it could be his kidneys working harder despite being abnormal or it could be tumours, but as he's well right now there's no point in finding out atm as they couldn't do anything whatever they find. So, as good news as possible I guess.
My MiL's hospital appointment went okay too. She needs a heart value replacement but previously the surgeons at Newcastle told her she'd need to lose half her body weight before she could have the op. While the doctor yesterday only said she had to lose some weight so I suppose that's a step in the right direction. She's happy not having it tbh and going on as she is.
The hospital phoned and James is on the afternoon list for tomorrow which is a bit of a pain as we would have preferred morning. But, the taxi is booked and we've stocked up on anything needed for the next week. I'm going for the hope for the best, prepare for the worst approach so we've more than enough easy to eat food and drink, the cats have food and litter and if need be we won't have to leave the house until he's ready to do so.
The litter trays are changed, and everything is cleaned, I'm going to change the bedding later. I have water and my book ready for tomorrow. It's two of my nephews' birthdays and also Kayleigh's this next week so presents and cards have been bought and written. If I could bottle this nervous energy my house would be spotless always.
But man, it was a pain to find cat litter yesterday. All the usual places were out of stock of the wood pellets and in the end, it cost me £15 for a 30l bag which is just ridiculous. That's nearly double what I'm used to paying. The woman in the shop said her boss realised there was going to be a shortage and had stocked up with pallets of the stuff months ago and it had been flying off the shelves. Apparently, he also took the chance to put the price way up, too.
And to show it hasn't all been medical stuff around here, two days ago we went to see Mrs Harris Goes to Paris and it was fabulous. Such a lovely, feel-good film. It was just what we needed to see.
