Note to self, do not attempt to air dry clothes on the deck, on a hot, VERY HUMID day.   2 hours later still very wet.  Put in drier on high, 40 minutes later, dry.   ::)

Can a cat just go to bed peacefully?

Youngest cat is making a hell of a racket in there and I don't know how. There's nothing loose or on the floor. He can get the overhead cupboard cabinet doors open now so maybe he's trying to get in there again. I found a bottle of poisonous ant bait on the floor from the cupboard the other day. Thankfully he didn't ingest any granules :facepalm2:

Now she's trying to be controlling of crush boi.
Overheard in one phone call during the raffle tonight:
"Where are you? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Who are you with (he didn't dare say I was sitting at the table)? When will you be home?......."
When that sort of stuff comes from a GF it's concerning but when it's just from a female friend he's not interested in its batshit crazy

I think my wife has an ulcer again. This seems to happen about every eight or ten years.

She can't eat anything, big fever, dizzy, throws up everything for two or three days, even water.

Called off work of course, but she has to have two negative Covid tests before she can return.
Did the home tests, both negative, and she was feeling better, but today she went downhill again.

We're going to the hospital in the morning.

Find the cat a box that just barely fits him. It almost always works for a while.

I hope she'll be ok. What is the treatment for an ulcer?

If I can go through the rest of this month without a call from things 1 and 2.. that would be beautiful. DAMN IT! I wasn't suppose to think about it -_-

The doctors eliminated ulcers as a diagnosis.
The brown, half digested blood in her vomit (yes, I helped her collect samples last night to take to the doc) was caused from an esophageal tear from gagging so hard for three days. That can be quite serious, but hers seems to be minor. They took pics.

After a day of tests and scans they determined that she has a small pocket of kidney stones causing problems.
One specialist told us that about half the population have some form of kidney stones for most of their lives, but with a healthy immune system they are kept under control until they grow so large as to cause blockages in the kidneys or ruptures in the blood vessels running through the kidneys.

A compromise to the immune system  (my wife has worked nights for fifteen years, does not get enough rest during the day = compromised immunity)  and the smallest stones can begin to harbor harmful bacterial infections. Once the stones, infected with bacteria, become large enough to begin to rupture blood vessels in the kidneys, the bacteria enter the blood stream and many varied symptoms begin to occur.
Vomiting, fever, nausea, reduced bile output and other liver issues are most common, often accompanied by pancreatic and thyroidal compromises as well.

In other words, you can't eat much without throwing up, but if you can keep food down, it does not digest properly. Sugars go out of control, either way high or way low and the good fats turn into bad fats before you gain any benefit from the food.

SO, you are hungry all the time, can barely hold food down and you are starving yourself no matter how much "good food" you eat. All that from a few pebbles of calcium salts that have begun to be colonized by bacteria.

Yep, the specialists took us to kidney stone school today.

They're keeping her in the hospital for a day or two until they break the fever, get the infection under controll and get her electrolyte balance back to normal.

Jesus. I never knew that about kidney stones. Only thing I knew is that passing them can be more painful than childbirth. So I've been told by my mum.

Are they going to do anything about the stones? So there's no repeat of what your wife has been through. Because that sounds really awful. I think there's lithotripsy which I've never heard of anyone having.

Yes, that's the plan. First they have to use a series of antibiotics focused on this particular bacteria for at least a day or two, more blood work every hour  (EDIT: toward the end of the second day, it's every three hours, now). Then another series of chemicals intended to soften and eventually dislodge some of the stones.
She has to pea into a tea strainer looking thing for the rest of her stay.
The stones were already beginning to move and that is a good sign, but it led to a runaway infection that has made her so sick.

Then after a day or two of all that, they do imaging again and make a decision as to whether or not the "machine" will be needed. Fortunately hers are small enough that the ultrasonic treatments have a good possibility of working, which means no surgery will be necessary.

Her mom had to have surgery twice for kidney stones. We don't want that!
