Life events...

Life events

The cat that is diabetic is not doing well. He went to the vet for a glucose control and found that he continues to lose weight. He had some blood work drawn for the dreaded cancer diagnosis. The vet is considering dropping hos insulin and treating him with diet only due to the issues with his weight, and low values on glucose after one administration of 1 unit of insulin.  The new insulin vial is due to be refilled soon.

May car is due for it's 51,000 mile check up in a month or so. We have 49 thousand miles now. So we have a little bit of time.

My daughter went to her doc, new meds have been ordered.

The foot doc is being a regular, I need to get my blood work drawn tomorrow for Friday's appointment. I find out how much the insurance didn't cover for the needed x rays last week.

Our other cat, Pepper needs to get his immunizations in October.

My middle daughter and son are planning on going to the homecoming dance in October.

We went to the dentist yesterday. I made it out with ZERO cavities, as did my son. My two girls have two cavities each that need to be filled. One girl needs sedation to get the work done. My daughter needs to get her wisdom teeth out. We have been referred to an oral surgeon for general anesthesia and extraction of all four at once. I can't keep her awake to have the work done, she will not be able to handle the anxiety.

Times like this, I am worried about our income and being able to handle the ongoing stress that comes with having only my income.

On the other hand, I had a credit of 30 dollars at the dentist. I paid 34 dollars for fluoride treatments, 20 for gas in my car, and 137 for the vet. I didn't take any out of my savings account (which I am thankful). My bills are paid in full, there's not a lot left over right now to cover extra expenses. I did take some call time last night at work to help cover for emergencies. I get paid tomorrow, and have one OT shift in that check.
