It seems 2007 is continuing into 2008. Termie is now at the vet because his urethra is completely blocked. His bladder is full but all that comes out is little drops of blood. We brought him in on Friday because he was peeing everywhere and they found that he had crystals in his urine and a urinary tract infection. I've been giving him antibiotics twice a day since and put him on the vet recommended diet. Unfortunately, it seems it wasn't soon enough, which is why the poor guy today was straining to pee with nothing coming out, throwing up, and crying in pain when I picked him up. I looked him over and saw that there was blood down there. =(
If we hadn't brought him to the vet tonight he would have been dead by morning. I hate that I'm upset about the $2000 this is costing us. It is yet another medical trauma in our lives. And as all medical traumas, it costs a lot. I just hope soo soo badly that he'll be alright and I'll have my lovely Termie home in 3 days!

I am a graduate student at GATech. I study physical oceanography and am particularly interested in biological systems. For those that don't know, it's basically physics, and no going "eww math!" at me.
In the beginning of March '07 during my second semester, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's actually not that bad... or at least it's not as traumatic as I'd have thought something like this would be before actually getting it. So I made a blog spot to kinda keep track of everything that's going on and post nice baldie photos of myself. =)
Edit: Ok, it's August now and I'll admit it has been somewhat traumatic. But I've been managing.
