Of health and happiness

I haven’t posted in a while but actually quite a lot has happened.

I guess the main thing is that I am still off work sick. I am due to return next week but hopefully only for the afternoons. As for my health, well to be honest there has not really been hat much improvement. My doctor has decided that the burst cyst was a ‘red herring’, something that occurred coincidentally but was not the real cause of my symptoms. However as yet the real cause has not yet been discovered.

I have had a large number of blood tests, the only thing showing so far is that my liver function is impaired. The doctor said that my inflammatory markers are normal so that rules out Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The next step is for me to have another ultrasound tomorrow to check the state of my gallbladder. Will wait and see what that shows.

The main highlight of my days at the moment is my 2 new kittens, Tortie and Tiber. On the Thursday after I was released from hospital, we had to have my old cat Heather put down. She was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid along with heart failure and a blockage in her lungs. It ws absolutely heartbreaking to have to make the decision but it really was the tight thing to do.

As I am off work at the moment, we decided that we should get a couple of kittens almost immediately so they can settle in whilst I am home. On that Saturday we visited a rescue place called Wellcat and picked out two 8 week old kittens (well Tiber really picked us!). They are now 10 weeks old and truly a joy to have around.
