1. Luna spent the day at the vet and had her glucose levels checked throughout the day. They fell low enough that her twice daily dosage of insulin will be only one unit per shot. She came home in good spirits, went right to the food bowl, and, at least this evening, did not make frequent trips to the litter box. I am hopeful that the antibiotics are knocking out the infection. I will take Luna back to the vet on March 23rd for another all day visit to monitor her glucose levels. Right now, I have to say, she's doing great and I'm happy to help her get her glucose levels stabilized. (By the way, the high levels of glucose encourage the growth of bacteria and so there is a correlation between this condition and her urinary tract infection.)
2. The plumber arrived today and cut and jack hammered a small section of the basement floor in the utility area, removed deteriorating and deteriorated cast iron pipe that was about seventy years old, and replaced it with more durable, slightly larger piping. He cleaned up the debris and will return on Thursday to pour concrete into the areas he had dug up. The job seemed to go smoothly and I'm happy to have made this improvement in our house.
3. I grabbed a sandwich-sized Zip Lock bag of ground beef out of the freezer, thawed it and browned it in the cast iron pan, soon added chopped potatoes, frozen green beans, and frozen corn and this hodgepodge of foods cooked together tasted pretty good -- especially with a few dabs of catsup on top.
* It's Thursday morning as I write this. The Ken Lilyblad fund needs 470 dollars to reach its goal of 4000 dollars today. If you'd like to help Ken's family meet the costs of his memorial service, here's the link:
