➸ felis corvus: I feel so weird.

youneedacat:

When I close my eyes all these images run by.

And I keep expecting my picc to be hooked to an IV pole. Except there’s a dressing where the picc used to be.

It’s hard to remember I am home. Even though it was short stay. Feel weird.

Now that I’m officially confirmed to have…

Yeah the radiology people can be really stupid about stomach tests. They once yelled at my friend with an intestinal blockage because she couldn’t keep down enough tracer liquid to show the blockage. And then she got charted as refusing food and almost died. They get really single minded about results at all costs and forget you can’t force humans to be machines just by yelling at them for not functioning like machines. I’m just glad they had the sense to send me to the ER.

Fey is very much fussing. I just wish she’d keep her claws away from my picc dressing. There’s sort of a hole going all the way to my heart in there AFAIK, so I have to keep her from puncturing my dressing. When I first got home she kept rubbing her entire body all over mine and rolling over and being completely beside herself with relief and worry.

Of course I always worry about her, given its hard to explain hospitals to a cat and its not like she saw paramedics pick me up this time. And last time she was traumatized, I think she may have thought I died when I was gone five weeks. At least this time I came home soon.

She smells wonderful though. Even if she’s sitting right over my picc area and making it sore as fuck. (Not damaging it, just uncomfortable. They had to dig really deep to find a suitable vein and not only am I insensitive to anesthesia, but their anesthetic had barely worked for the last person either. And taking it out and sterilizing and dressing it hurt like hell too.)

Her head is on my chest now and we are just snuggling thoroughly.
