Thank you to all your kind thoughts and comments for my Mindy, I appreciate it. The appointment well really well actually. To start with the vet was able to take her temperature, which no vet has been able to do in YEARS, and when we weighed her she was 7.3 pounds. So since she was last at the vet 2 months ago she has gained a whole poind, and is now back to her ideal healthy weight. And the tech was amazing. She sprayed the towel I always bring with nice calming kitty pheremones to help Mindy relax a bit, then wrapped her in a nice tight kitty burrito. And the vet was able to quickly pull the blood, and get enough to run a full body panel. So yay!
Mindy suffers from hyperthyroidism, which has no cure. Her meds (which the vet called today to let me know were working and her dosgae was perfect) are slowing the damage, but isn't stopping it. They can give her another 3-5 years of happy life before the disease takes her away from me.
But on a happeir note, I had dinner with my parents last night before heading to choir practice (both of which were lots of fun). And today I subbed for a math teacher that had a great group of students. All I had to do was give them their assignment, and they just sat down and quietly worked. I didn't have to get on to anybody to stay on task. So I actually spent most of the day reading a new book, Serephina. It's about a medieval land that has a peace truce with the dragons, and the main character happens to be from a dragon mother and a human father. And it's all about the struggles she's facing trying to keep this secret while trying to solve a murder of the prince. I'm only half way through but I can't wait to finish it.
