Cat and the Doctors

How happy am I to be doing almost nothing today? So very very happy a load of laundry, dinner and some quick cleaning here and there! If only I could sneak a nap in sometime but I'm most certain that wont be happening.

My day yesterday was spent chasing down hospitals, fainting on purpose, quietly cursing the parking attendant out and trying not to run out of gas!!!

So those of you are "Keeping Up With Facebook" (totally knockoff of the kardashians) and know that I've been spending allot of my days at the doctors! Well the ultimate test was yesterday...dun dun dun! I was scheduled for a tilt test, I was strapped to a table and then elevated until I had a dizzy/fainting spell. Well my body preformed very well, I was told it could take up to 20 minutes and if it took that long they would give me a drug to encourage a dizzy/fainting spell, it took less than 2 minutes. My bloodpressure went from 100 down to a whopping 40!!! Yes I said 40. I was a rather scary moment for but I lived to tell you all about it. The Dr has come to the answer that I have

Vasovagal syncope, most people have experience this at some point in their life me on the other hand experience it on a daily basis! For those of you wondering its basically just fainting...dads sometimes do it when they watch their wives give birth or some people faint at the slight of blood. Just basic fainting spells for you all, for me its like an everyday party!!!

So what do I do to fix this...

1. Eat more salt, can't be done I'm a Butler at heart and we eat salt with everything

2. Wear these sweet things called Compression Stockings, most people get the ones that only come up to the knee, but I get the thigh high ones

3. Take in more fluids, cause the gallon of water I drink a day is enough and add gatorade to that

4. If that list doesn't curb my "spells" then I will go to the option of medicine!!!

It is most certainly something I can handle and deal with the only problem with it was trying to figure out what was going on. So now we know and we can get on with our wild life!

This of course would be Sir Rascal! For those of you who have both worlds of children (human and animals) you will understand this! I bought this bed for Rascal because he seemed to have no bed to call "home". Most nights he spent sleeping at the foot of our bed but night and night he got kicked out, so he decided to take over poor Blus bed! He lost that rather quickly cause we threw him out of Blus bed...every night Rascal would snuggle up in Blus bed and Blu would just get up and go sleep on the couch a big NO NO in this house! I brought this bed home and he was intrigued for the first few hours and then said "Screw This" and had nothing to do with it for a week or two. So as any mother would do I told him I would be taking it back to the store if he didn't start using it...$30 is alot for a cat bed! And guess who started sleeping in his bed that very night!!! Just like a child, you threaten to take something away and then they either use it or start taking better care of it!!!
