Update

Sandy cat is doing well!  I took him to the Vet about 2 weeks ago and had some labwork rechecked.  His thyroid function is completely within normal limits - AND his liver and kidney functions are too!!

His recovery was fairly uneventful here at home.  I was told to keep him interested in eating by giving him the 'crappy junk food' cans...he ate them - but that also resulted in blow out diarrhea for about 3 weeks.  Not so fun.

In addition to his chemistries and Thyroid function - he had gained ONE FULL POUND too!  My skinny cat is slowly gaining more weight.  I take him back for another recheck in December.

Cola is also doing ok.  I have the vet comming over on November 15th for another recheck.  I am not doing labwork - she's just going to check Cola's quality of life - and give us a refill of pain meds for her hind legs.  They're starting to give out on her and she's taken a few stumbles.  My poor old girl.

Work is going ok.  Our Clinical Department has grown by leaps and bounds lately.  There are now 6 of us.  We moved last week to another location - just across the parking lot from the main office.  I am going to Montréal next week for a couple of days for my first Monitoring Visit.  I'm pretty stoked - I hope I learn a lot.

I went to Vancouver last month for Thanksgiving weekend.  It was fun to surprise everyone.  I got some good quality time with my mom and Rick.  It was perfect.  I don't know when I'll be going back - I have another long weekend coming up this month - November 25'ish for American Thanksgiving; but I'm really trying to save my money for myself.

I tried to trade my truck in last week - but I am upside down in the finances there.  They would give me $14,000 for it - but I owe $18,000.  Super bummed about that.  I want something less expensive to drive - something that doesn't cost me $600/month, (that includes gas).
