I brought Taylor to the vet yesterday because she was throwing up for several days now, and they did a full blood panel on her to see if they could find anything. The vet said that he could feel her thyroid thinking there's a tumor, so it might be hyperthyroidism. He said it could be as simple...

I have a question for those of you who get heartburn and have acid reflux issues... How do you deal with it? I've been in the hospital for almost two weeks and I didn't realize until now that they haven't been giving me my Protonix... I've had heartburn/acid reflux issues since I had...

So, as some of you know, I'm sitting in a hospital right now and have been here since last week Monday. Anyhoo- last night I had a horrible headache and I think that low CSF was the cause (I know what it feels like when it's low or high, or in between). They even had to call the house doctor to...

I'm not sure exactly where I should post this, so I put it here lol. So mods feel free to move it if it's in the wrong place. I miss my kitties! I'm in a hospital down in Chicago right now for my headaches (as some of you remember I have headaches 24/7 and have been to this hospital/program...

I just need to vent a little, sorry guys. I've been in the hospital since Monday in a specialized headache unit and I'm getting fed up with the dang nurses.... I'm supposed to be getting round the clock IV medication every six hours, but most of the nurses aren't following that. Instead they are...

Hey TCS peeps! I don't know how many people even realized I was gone or know me , but I was gone for a few months and now I'm back and ready to roll once again. I have three cats: Taylor, Pirate, Mama Mia, plus two new ones that came today. One is a cat that I had originally rehomed named...

Hey everyone- Just wanted to let the people that knew I was in the hospital that I'm being released to go home. Yippee!! Here's my question: Does anyone on here ever have to give self-injections/IM injections? I just did one for me with a muscle relaxant, and I was sooooo scared I was shaking...

I'm missing my babies soooooo much, it's ridiculous. I keep trying to tell my mom to try and sneak Pirate into the hospital here in Chicago, possibly going undercover as a therapy cat , but that would be a wee bit hard seeing as I'm like 2 hours away from my house right now. I think about them...

For those of you who remember me : So, I know I haven't been online for a long time... And I really regret it because this site is awesome. Well, I'm kinda back now. I've been in and out of the hospital, and now I'm in a state-of-the-art headache program/clinic in a private 5-star hospital in...

It's getting darker and darker outside, and the news is saying that we're supposed to get in the next few minutes a horrible storm- tons of lightning and straight-line winds in excess of 60 mph. It looks like it's 8 at night outside right now- I'm starting to FREAK OUT. I always panic when...

I just got the results of Mama Mia's blood test for becoming a blood donor, and even though she was cleared to become a blood donor, the results did say that she had a slight increase in albumin. What is that, and what does this mean? It can't be anything serious because she is ok to donate...

I'm watching a news program, and they just announced the average cost of raising a child from 0 to 18 years old in 2008. It's $291,570! Holy Stinkin' Cow! No wonder I don't want to have any kids... Sheesh! And then get this- the average cost for raising a child in 1960 was $25,000. I think that...

On Friday I bought a laser pointer at Petsmart for the kitties (especially fatty Mia to burn off the calories ), and that afternoon/evening I opened it and started playing with them with it. Pirate was absolutely great with it- LOVED chasing it around, loved it when it went up the wall, just...

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so I put it here. Mods- if it's in the wrong place, move it cuz I'm not sure if this is the right place. I was just wondering what type of food/water bowls everyone uses. Or if you use a different type for each type of food and a different type for...

So... one of the neighbors across the street lately has CONSTANTLY been arguing with everyone that she knows. I don't know her, thank GOD, but I'm really worried. She screams so loud it has woken me up in the morning with all my windows closed, which is nuts. I don't try to eavesdrop, but it's...

My mom just gave me her camera (for Ebay, lol) but the first thing I started snapping pictures of were my children, naturally. There were still some pictures on the camera that were from before, so they all kinda got mixed together. And sorry about most of them, with the eyes- I still haven't...

I was just thinking, while on the couch doing my daily cuddle with my Pirate baby, about what I would miss if for some reason I had to leave my cats, they had to leave me, they passed away, I went on vacation, stuff like that. Any situation where you have to be away from your cats for an...

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS......... 1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me 3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. 4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me...

As many of you may know, I was thinking of fostering again. Well, those plans fell through due to my medical crud (had to choose a "safe" word there, . If I'd used the word I wanted to, I'd be in t-r-o-u-b-l-e!!!). So, instead of fostering, I'm volunteering for a local cat rescue It's a...

I am having a HUGE beef with someone online who wanted to trade a Wii for a boston terrier puppy. Well, after an exchange of words, they decided to threaten me and use VERY choice words. I must say that I wasn't very nice, but not NEARLY as mean as what this person had to say. I never cursed...
