interesting week

To say this has been an eventful week; and its only Wednesday, would hit the nail on the head.
Monday got up feeling great and planning on changing the beds and washing the blankets. Fed the cats, got my coffee, went potty, (this is essential info) washed cat food cans, got ready to take my shower. Washed my hair and was putting on creme rinse and the water stopped. Arggg, pipes froze ???? after all that water usage it seemed impossible but they had. Rinsed my hair with cold water saved for when the power goes off, really awake now. Okay, I can still do the beds just have to wait to wash everything until the water comes back no problem. Get one bed changed and have the comforter in the dryer de-hairing (with ten cats you do this often). Go in to change the other bed and I had noticed this one had an air bubble (water beds), so while I had the sheets off, I wrapped a towel around the opening and laid down to roll down the bed to get the bubble. Took one roll and it looked like old faithful; water everywhere. I got soaked and so did everything else. Okay, change my clothes and go get an arm load of towels to clean up all the water. One extra load of wash when the water decides to unfreeze; sigh. I am still able to laugh which is nothing short of miraculous at this point.
Tuesday didn't go too bad but one of my kitties didn't eat and he is usually a big eater. So I called the vet to take him in the next day.
Wednesday; kitty still has not eaten and am really starting to get worried, his appointment is this afternoon. He is diabetic and afternoons is when they always want to see him so they can check his sugar more accurately. And this morning I am off to the plastic surgeon to see what he says about this lesion. He says not good and does a biopsy; we will know something the first of the week and he wants me back on Tuesday to see how much of my face they will have to take. Ha ha! Chin hurts like crazy tonight; he had to put a stitch in it after the biopsy.
Take my kitty to the vet and they want to keep him for the night. He not only hasn't eaten he also has not drank much water. They are going to be giving him IVs and run blood test to see if they can find out what is wrong. I can't bear the thought of losing him when I just lost my precious Miss B only three months ago.
I've posted a picture of the two of them. I always called it the big and the little. She was a normal size cat of about 8 pounds and he is a not so normal 20 pounds.
