I’d like to say I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been super busy…but I think that super lazy might be a more accurate reason. It has been ridiculously hot for about two weeks…it doesn’t help motivate me to do much.
I came down with the flu over the weekend…it was horrible, and I managed to pass it on to Dylan, so he was sick Tuesday. Luckily it was only a 12 hour bug, so even though you were completely miserable for 12 hours, it passed relatively quickly. I have been trying to disinfect our compartment ever since, becuase I refuse to get it again.
I went to the doctor on Monday, not for my flu, but for one of my other various issues and got my steroid dosage reduced to 20 mg. Woohoo! Maybe I will turn into Saroid now, instead of SaROID! Dylan admitted I have been less grumpy lately….I didn’t realize I was in a constant state of mild crankiness, but maybe I was. I hope that I will continue to shrink as a result of the decrease, I actually wore some of my own clothes last week, which was nice.
And yesterday, I went back to the doctor with Dylan. We thought he might have an ulcer due to some stomach pain he was experiencing. It turns out that he actually has something called caustocondritis, which is an inflammation of the cartilidge between your ribs. It is a relief that it was nothing more serious…this is a pretty typical Dylan injury. He can take aleve for a couple of weeks to help reduce the inflammation, but it should go away on its own in a few months. After his appointment we went to the hospital cafeteria, because they have pretty good breakfast there. I was super happy because they had one cinnamon donut left, and those are my favorite. It was our reward for going to our doctor’s appointments.
A crash has just sounded from down the hall…my little ginger cat has probably just attempted to destroy something. He is seriously crabby since we haven’t let him out in a while…it is just too hot right now. But I best go see what he has gotten himself into.
