Persey (nickname for Persephone), a little schipperke was put to rest today after the vet diagnosed her with kidney failure. She was 16 years old. She also suffered from Cushings. She was a puppy that I got those many years ago, but could not care for her and almost immediately gave her to a friend. She’s no longer suffering, and we will see her again one day.

For reasons I can’t elaborate too much on, I want to urge everyone (no matter where you are) to keep you pets indoors. If you MUST have them out, do not do so without being there to supervise them. I have a good reason for saying this. A few weeks ago, my mom’s cat was killed by a human being. Her cat was taken from her yard and killed. She was brought back after having been cut in half. There was NO blood left. Only the back half of the cat was returned. I can’t say anymore, because I don’t want to interfere with the investigation. Please, please, please! Keep your pets indoors! This is something that is happening all over the country. It doesn’t matter where you live. If you love your pets, don’t allow them outsinde unless you’re willing to stay with them. If you don’t love your pets enough to do this, please take them to a rescue or no-kill shelter so they can be loved by someone who will care about them.

After I took the 5 days’ rx of Levaquin for my sinus infection, I felt fine for a few days. I think I need to stop swimming for a while though, because the sinus infection is back again. Maybe it never was really all the way gone. Anyway, from what I’ve been reading, I’ve gathered that swimming is bad for someone prone to sinus infections. Not that I’ve ever been prone to them, but, when you have myeloma, you may find yourself suffering from various infections that never bothered you in LBM (life before myeloma).
Here’s some good info on sinusitis:

Last week I called my doctor about my never-ending cold. I had a sore throat for what seemed forever, and evidence of a sinus infection. Like a lot of people, I just thought if I waited long enough, it would go away. It didn’t. I got a prescription for Levaquin (500 mg) for 5 days. I have one more day to go. I have to say the stuff works! It’s not without its own set of side effects though. Who can tell what cause what when you’re on a bunch of different drugs though? Anyway, learn from my mistake (even though I never do). If you get a cold and it doesn’t seem to want to go away, call your doctor!

I’ve been reading things about coffee, such as it can help regulate blood glucose levels and that 4 cups a day can reduce the odds of getting cirrhosis of the liver by 80 percent. The reports never say if decaf works as well as caffeinated coffee. I quit drinking coffee because the caffeine makes me have PVCs and it usually makes me feel kind of sick anyway. But, I saw some coffee in the store made by Folgers that’s supposed to be stomach friendly. Has anyone tried it? I am about to get some, to see if it makes a difference. It’s called Simply Smooth.
I know that sometimes studies are funded by the industry, so I am going to try to look into that.
