Furballsmom has good ideas and so do you! I remember one time sleeping with so many layers on I couldn't believe it -- and it doesn't even get cold in L.A. Metro! so I must have been sick. I get cold easily. Water sure can't hurt! Does Krista sleep with you? That's the best -- C.A.T. (Cat-Assisted Therapy) for whatever ails you!
Beyond tastes more like meat than Boca and Morning Star never tasted like meat. But what I really like about the Beyond BBQ is that it has cheese, BBQ sauce, and onion rings. It's the Western Cheeseburger. Even though I think Impossible makes a better patty, Burger King ruins it with their sad, soggy produce, and too much thousand island or whatever gross and lazy sauce they use.EXCELLENT! Krista is adorable, BTW, in her latest pic.
Are those pretty good? I haven't had one yet. I like the Morning Star Farms and Boca Burgers. That pic makes me hungry!
I mostly feel medicated or possibly over-medicated today. I took a TheraFlu in the morning that probably should have worn off by now. I also took a Mucinex because I've been taking Mucinex since the fires have fouled the air. Between the two medicines, I got two doses of the cough suppressant. It was the only overlap. I figured I'd sleep it off if it got weird. I don't feel particularly feverish. But I'm also not breaking a sweat bundled up under blankets. Since I get so few opportunities to just sleep, I may go back down for another nap or three.Furballsmom has good ideas and so do you!

It sounds really good!
I know the feeling, being an insomniac! Hope you get that opPURR-TUNA-ty
I’ll contact the dentist tomorrow.
*Hoping your prediction is surpassed, by a lot.* *Prayers and best thoughts of wellness for you both.* How are you feeling today?I think I did a better job with the bupe this time. I didn’t wear any of it. I don’t think she’s wearing it either. I plated an all tuna portion to see if she might eat it better. I also plated a smaller portion of rabbit by itself to see if that might appeal to her. We can try turkey tomorrow. I tried duck earlier and she nibbled. I’ll be surprised if she makes it to two ounces today.
Sounds like she's doing well. Hope you soon will be, too. I know how you feel about being sick. I can't afford to be sick, either, and will drag myself on all fours if necessary to get my work done.
Oh no! I’m the opposite. If I get sick, I shutdown and employ the fever-break protocol: take TheraFlu (usually the nighttime), drink water, and sleep under every blanket I can muster until I wake in a pool of sweat. This usually doesn’t take more than a day or two. Then it’s Mucinex for a month until the drip is gone.
I hope it ends up working for you! I can't be in bed during the day and I don't really ever get sick. My meds consist of aspirin, Vicks vaporub, and some Ayurvedic cream for back pain, along with some triple antibiotic cream, and most recent additions are anti-itch stuff and a box of generic Benadryl which hasn't been used yet and probably won't ever be because I don't take drugs, except for aspirin.Oh no!

I’ve been trying fever-break protocol this weekend. But my back is getting sore from being in bed all weekend. And I’m not sure if I’m sick or just (over?)medicated. I have been doubling up the cough suppressant because it is in both the Theraflu and the Mucinex. I should probably switch to the one without cough suppressant. But I figure if I’m going to sleep anyway, what difference does a little extra loopy make?
I don’t like to fight against being sick. I would rather go down and get through it as quick as I can. Unfortunately, I have a work project that requires results in two weeks in addition to returning to the dentist. Though I imagine that could be rescheduled if necessary as it is just a follow up. Mostly I need to get better so I can work outside of home again. I only get so much done with Krista doing laps between my lap, food, under the bookcase, and repeat. Since my lap is always the transit point before food, I grudgingly accept my role in her routine.
That sounds like a good plan, and good choices/amounts under the present circumstances. As for emergency foods, there are the Gerber second stages or Beech-nut meat-only baby foods, and things like Clinicare, and also it's helpful in some cases to blend or food process some of what she normally likes/eats and making a slurry, with water, which could be syringe-fed. Baby cereal and/or KMR mixed in are also choices. So it's not like there's nowhere to go from tuna, if necessary.
She doesn't like any of those. I'm hoping she can eat enough tuna to get through her recovery and I can hopefully add turkey back into her diet as and when she tires of tuna. That's how it happened last year with pancreatitis. After a month or two of tuna, she got tired of tuna and took to turkey like it was her new favorite food. I'm hoping with a long enough turkey break, she'll have the same reaction again.
Well, maybe you could puree the two of those together and make a slurry if she doesn't want other things. Just a thought, for if needed.
