I really can’t think about much else than Mimi. Today we had to take a syringe to force food into her. I’m scratched up and bitten for the umpteenth time. She may be sick, but she’s a damn strong cat when you’re trying to stick the tip of a syringe between her teeth.

In the morning I’ll head down to the vet and get the medication that’s supposed to increase her appetite. Two things on my mind about that stuff:

1. That it’s not expensive
2. That it works

If I had a couple thousand to spare, I’d have them hospitalize Mimi and get her fed and watered until this syndrome reversed. But, I don’t. So, if this last ditch effort doesn’t work, we’re going to have to do something we don’t want to do.

Is it any wonder then, if I were near death and only extraordinary and expensive treatments would save me, I’d rather die?

Recently my husband read a little interesting conspiracy article in which it was theorized that the government was behind rising health costs in a calculated bid to thin the American population of the terminally ill, people on disability, and those not covered by insurance. Kinda makes me wonder, too………
