Rusty, that's a good idea. My mom gets the krill oil vitamins. I should take some too. I hope they will fit in my pill container. Her cholesterol is pretty good. She takes all sorts of supplements-- some sort of multivitamin for women over 50, glucosomine msm + condroiten, krill oil, & some other stuff. Between her meds & her vitamins she takes about 11 pills I think.
My doctor asked if I'm still taking Tramadol & I explained that I only used that for my tooth & I stopped once I had the tooth pulled. Said they tried to push stronger narcos on me after the procedure but I didn't need it. I've had dental procedures where I wasn't completely numb before so any pain I had after the tooth was pulled was very minor.
Took Temjin (my youngest female kitty) to the vet to be spayed. Had an appointment & almost didn't make it in time. 2 trucks in front of me were going way under speed limit and riding down the middle of the road to prevent people from passing. Then there was a wreck right before the turnoff to the vet's office. I could see the vet's office but couldn't get there bc I had to wait for traffic to clear. Finally made it just in time but then had to wait 15 minutes because none of the staff were at the desk & they pretty much ignored me when they did come out. They talked to people who came in after me bc they knew them & didn't look at the list. I was trying to keep my distance from people but finally walked up & said I'd been waiting there to drop off my cat for spaying & they apologized. Had me sign paperwork & took her to the back. Swung by to see my friend on my way home. Spotted him some cash for his bills bc govt garnished over 90% of his check. He had worked overtime to be able to pay his bills only to have them take almost all of it so he couldn't pay any of his bills. He has no idea why they took that large of a portion- they have been regularly taking 50% of his check & all of a sudden they took more without any explanation. Went straight home after that & took a nap. Mom woke me right after I got into a good sleep wanting me to go back in to go to the post office. She didn't realize my brother had gone to Lafayette, had taken her car, & he could have picked up mail on his way back. He stopped to visit our friend & stayed there until dark (despite having been told by my mom that if he uses her car to go places he needs to bring it right back & not go hang out with friends). I was too tired to convey anything about my brother to her & she got mad-- stayed mad for a few hours & snapped at me when I got food for her. First I got her salad & then I made steak. She calmed down after the steak. It was supposed to be medium rare but I think it was closer to medium once it rested.
Namir (Temjin's brother) has been losing his mind & crying for her. They've never been apart for more than a few minutes & he doesn't know what happened to her so he's freaking out. Vet called to say Temjin's surgery went fine & that she's doing well. I'll be picking her up after Mom's appointment with the foot doctor. I let them know I was coming in the afternoon-- I'd normally get her in the morning but that there was an appointment conflict & I didn't want to make two trips. I was much cheaper at this vet than at my other vet for spaying. Even with tax the price is less than the base spaying price at the other vet.
