Feline Diabetes

Okay... so last week we found out one of my cat has diabetes. She's 7 years old... never had any other health problems, and suddenly she has diabetes. We've never had any experience treating anyone with diabetes so this was going to be a new thing for us.

The vet bill to get her glucose level down to a reasonable level and for keeping her up there for about a week was 440 bux. Ouch.. and that's not including buying 51 bux in insulin and syringes. Her prescription food is going to cost $1.18 a tiny ass can... and we'll be feeding her a whole can each day and also part of another 1 dollar can of food that adds flavor.

You know what this sounds like to me? a NEW bill! And I didn't ask for it. When the hell am I ever going to catch up with all the things I want to be able to pay off or pay for. It always seems like a new financial situation comes up as soon as I think I'll be able to manage to live off what I have. What would life be w/o bills anyway? :P

Oh well... in the end, it'll be worth it. We'll still have the company of our sweet little kitty... and we're not going to feel like guilty bastards since we didn't decide to put her down or put her up for adoption.
