hi everyone, i'm in need of some help. i hate asking others for anything, but this is different. as it concerns my babygirl of 13 years, apple. this cat has been with me thru everything. my parent's divorce, horrendous bullying throughout junior high, a couple breakups, a svicide attempt, loss, and much more. she is my rock and i wouldn't be here today without her. she got diagnosed with "kidney failure" by a vet on friday, and they swarmed my boyfriend in the clinic and urged us to put her down. that she wouldn't make it a week. i wanted some more time with her, so i took her home that day. when we got home, i started to panic because i was scared she was suffering, and got my boyfriend to contact his family vet to put her down that same day instead. to spare her from suffering. however, as we were in the patient room, about to sedate her to put her down, the doctor came in and looked at the bloodwork we received from the other vet. he immediately stopped the euthanasia-procedure and explained to me that she was not in kidney failure. that she was about in stage 2 of chronic kidney disease, and that she did not need to be put down. apparently some vets refuse to help cats with CKD and insist that there is no hope and that they should be put down upon diagnosis. but he didn't want to do that. so now here we are, she's back home with me and being just-about her usual self. however, CKD is common in senior cats and apple has it. it cannot be cured, and it is terminal, but cats with CKD can live happy, normal lives if they are given treatment and special care. (i've done lots of reading since thursday-friday.) of course though, vet bills and special food for apple is going to be expensive. so i would like to ask, if you can afford to commission me, or if you would like to donate at all, please check out my ko-fi. it would mean the absolute world to me, my boyfriend, my family, and apple. thank you so very much for reading ♥. please don't feel obligated to do anything, just keep her in your thoughts for me.

Had another silly tangent with the co-conspirator, stemming from him sending me this:

Me: i'm just thinking abt shit gymrat!virgil mighta sent to ro maybe a few years after the ckd dx when ro's got more of his shit together y'know since guy's on a low-sodium diet + has The Depression (and at that pt is able to shitpost abt it) Him: but sending it while roman is actively enjoying a grapefruit Me: granted… i'm stopping to think abt whether it'll fuck w/ ro's meds tho now i need to go look at that medications post to see if they say anything abt grapefruit interaction because gdi pharmacology is always fascinating olmesartan - looks like no bueno metformin - seems okay various diuretics - seems okay SSRIs - not a great idea adderall - more of an acidity issue right after than related to those pesky furanocoumarins so on safe side ro's probably not abt to be eating no grapefruit if anyone knowledgeable has anything to say abt it Him: Janus running into the room and ripping it out of his hand swallows the entire thing in one go to prevent him from whining Visible bulge in his throat as it goes down With roman drooling "that's hot."

today’s my nephrology appt where i get to find out if my liver is also having problems or if the cold meds I took the week of the blood draws fucked up the results! My kidneys think their job is optional and I’m really hoping they didn’t get evangelical with my liver

Also if I’m still so vitamin D deficient I legally qualify as a vampire!

May come out of the appt with fun new dietary restrictions but I’m less worried about that as I am about my liver tbh

So. A lot had happened since I last posted...

In April of 2022 I tested positive for HIV. Not long after that I was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney failure. Over the course of 6mo, those kidney issues escalated to 0% functionality and in December I was sent to the ER for emergency dialysis. I’ve been on dialysis for 6 months, home dialysis for about 2 weeks now.

I’ll be moving home to Texas to be near family in the next few weeks. My boyfriend and I decided that this was the best way to go, as I need the support and he’s unable to move due to his job. Still amicable, still 100% civil, we just realized it’s time.

Pics are from the last year or so

A fun little tiktok I threw together if my dialysis set up. Sadly my chair is out of commission and in need of repair, but the set up is still pretty similar

Our cat is still breathing, but only thanks to daily medical interventions. I was in tears when we heard he had days left, but that was weeks ago. And truly, he will never leave my heart

I often forget that I am technically chronically ill, because we’re at the “monitor for changes/small dietary changes” stage, but then sometimes I remember, ah yes, the C in CKD *does* in fact stand for chronic. I got two little slackers falling down on the job, tsk tsk.

I’m absolutely not complaining and I’m doing my best to keep it that way, but it’s a very weird feeling to *feel* totally healthy (albeit out of shape lmao) when I know I’m not. The dissonance is real
