First Day

Mama's first day at Cardio Rehab. She said it wasn't bad. She got a lot of information and then had to walk 6 minutes and that was it for the day. They took her blood pressure before and after. She goes back three times a week for 3 months or less. She also gotted a pointment with the Doctor that put her stents in her, but that isn't for a while yet.
Then she wented to get a cold drink and wented to Target for some stuff. She even bought me some Dentabites. Hooray!
She said the stents that were put in her heart are on the back of the heart, not the front.
She thought it would be warmer today, and it was in the sun, but she turned the air thingy on and shut the windows and it actually got cold in here. I told her off when she camed home. Mama, too cold!

Tuesday Stuff

When mama camed home from the bean vets today she threw something at me (well, not at me, really, but that sounds better than "brandi, you got a package" and mama putting it by where I was snoozing). And I sniffed it, and it smelled special, and since I don't have thumbs I made her open it for me right away. And it was from my Sugar Pie, and it was Tartar Control Temptations! No, it's not Dentabites (Mr. Hendrix made his mama go 3 different places to look and she couldn't find any), but they are good, and since they are a little smaller than Dentabites, I think I get more of them. Now isn't my sweetie special? And his mama?
Plus, when my mama was out she did get some Dentabites, so now I have both! Mama is special, too.
We have Dentabites in our Target, but apparently they aren't in all Targets. That is sad.
Mama goes to something called Cardio Rehab Thursday afternoon. But she stays home tomorrow.
Love,

Thursday Update

Much better here today. Air thingy gets a break for the next few days. Temperature is no where near 90! Fresh air!
Mama is feeling better, and thinks she may try cleaning the next few days. She was told no for 10 days, and it is past that. I know she wants to sweep the floor (my fur keeps falling everywhere. I can't help it. I'm growing new stuff).
We, of course, eat a lot of chick-hen around here. Mama and I had a baked chick-hen leg for lunch. It has no crunchies on it, just seasoning, so it is better for mama than crunchies or frying or lots of salt. All those she has to watch out for now. She told me there wouldn't be as much hamm around here now, cause it is salty, and she can't "do" much salt. Oh dear. But I guess I will make the sacrifice for her good health. *sigh*
More nappies in the window,

Wordy Wednesday

I maded mama turn down the air thingy. Even though it's in the 90's again, too. It just was too cold for me. I am an older kitty and I do love warm toesies. She was sitting on the love seat and I came and sat on her shoulder and stared out at the sun this morning so she would get the hint. All that cold made me hungry, too, so I maded her give me more foodies, too. And made her share her chick-hen sammich at lunch.
Well, okay, she decided it was too cold by herself, and she fed me like she always does, and she always shares her chick-hen. But wouldn't it be nice if she had to?? Cause I said??
What power I would have then! Well, I have it anyway, so there.

Tuesday Stuff

Mama wented for her walk today, but it was very warm out. Over 90 degrees! Before she left she turned the air thingy on for me, and remembered to take some water with her. She wented to the library and a lot of children were there. Mama once worked in a children's library years and years ago, and she is always happy when she sees children using the library! One little girl had a huge armload of books to check out, and that reminded mama of when she was a little girl. She loved reading, and had to get her daddy to drive her to the library cause it was in the next town, and he would take her every couple of weeks. Now mama can just walk there.
She ran into some ladies she knows from our building (one was the daughter of one of our neighbors, the one with Lizzie the cute poodle woofie) on the way home.
Mama has a several bean vet pointments next week, so she will get me some more dentabites soon. I still have some left. There is a Target store right by where she catches the bus back to our neighborhood, and they have dentabites.
It is still 91 degrees and the sun is just going down. Whew. Mama decided to leave the air thingy on until it cools down a lot.

Sunday Snooze

Whoo hoo. Beautiful day out. Nice sunny day. Snooze snooze.
Mama ordered a bunch of groceries so that she doesn't have to carry them (she has a weight limitation on carrying now). Including foodies and litter for me! They will come tomorrow afternoon. But that place doesn't have dentabites:-(
So she has to go somewhere for dentabites. But then, they don't weigh that much!
Tuesday she goes to the library for her first longer walk. No dentabites in that direction, but I still have a backup bag or two!

Friday again

Just a week ago mama wented into the hospital. Now she is at home and doing better. We so appreciate all the good thoughts and purrs from all the bloggers, and of course the attentions of my sweet Sugar Pie. They are all really helping. Last Friday night was so scary, and then I was so worried and alone for days. The manager of our partment building camed in to make sure I had water and foodies (nice bean, huh?). And when mama camed home I was soooo happy.

Today the lectricians camed. My mama already had my harness on, but the nice beans said we didn't have to leave, it wouldn't take long, but it would be very loud. I wented under the bed. But not before one of the beans said, "we like kitty cats", and he sounded really nice. But it was loud, so I stayed under the bed. We now have new ceiling lights in the main room, the pantry and in the bedroom.

Gotta chase down mama again.

love,
brandi

Mama is home

Mama is home from the bean hospital. She had a heart attack and two stints put in her heart....We will update soon. Right now she is taking things slow, and will be getting some help to move stuff for the lectricians. I yelled at her for several hours when she camed home. She scared me a lot with her really bloody nose which wouldn't stop bleeding, and I sat on her so she would sleep some. I rubbed up against her a lot, too.
Whew. We appreaciate the kind words and good thoughts and purrayers. They help.
Back soon.
love,
brandi
