My cat Olive turns 13 years old in a few months and he’s starting to have some health problems that are scaring me. Mitchell passed in the middle-ish of last year at about 16 or 17 years of age I believe and Duster two years prior that at 15. That’s a lot of death of beloved family members in a few short years. I’m not ready to go through that pain again so soon.

This part has been even harder to get started writing.. I have to talk more specifically about my personal experience with BPD which has always been really hard and shameful for me ‒ NOTE: having BPD is not shameful!

This was perhaps the easiest injection yet. I just had to go it, no thinking, just put it in and go. And that worked so well. Hopefully next week I’ll have no issues at all though! First time I tried to inject too quickly and the pressure caused the needle to separate from the syringe. Second time I nearly fainted and had to try injecting three times! And today, my third time, I accidentally stabbed my hand trying to uncap the injection needle (how?!).. sigh 😪 Next week I’ll get it without issue.
