This is huge. I look back, and before going on medication I felt as if I were drowning. Now I'm walking on solid earth. That doesn't mean there isn't the occasional puddle, rock, or tree branch in my way. There will always be challenges, and medication doesn't make them go away. What it does do, however, is remove the quicksand.
I'm not perfect by any means. I work on my mental health daily, and my general living practices as well, but things are certainly better than they were :)
On the Teddy front, he's holding steady. Today marked the second day he refused his breakfast, but his eating otherwise (dinner and ALL THE TREATS!!!) as well as his fluid consumption and medicating him remains good. I'm not certain the 2x/day Lasix dosage is going to cut it, but when we move up to 3x/day we know we're closer to the end. Whichever way it works (we'll hear from the vet's office tomorrow regarding his blood and urinalysis results), we'll take the best care of him we can, and accept the decision we will likely have to make when the time comes.
Hugs, sweet boy. Mama loves you.
