Mike is quite ill. This abscess on his back reeks. To give you an example of how bad I have ceased changing out the litter pans hoping that their smell will overpower this one.
Although we are in a cold snap the bedroom windows are wide open during the day to get the smell out. I change his bandage 3 times a day and in order to do it without worshipping the porcelain god, I have to put vicks vaporub under my nose (thanks Kim for that idea).
I called the doctor yesterday to tell him mike isn't eating and he chewed mike out but good. That led us into a big argument as mike was mad i called him. The doctor basically said that if mike doesn't follow my directions (from the doctor) and doesn't eat- he will end up either in the hospital or the morgue. His blood sugar is to be monitored every 6 hours at last check it was 142.
Those of you fighting the weight fight and have not been diagnosed with Diabetes yet- I am pleading with you to address your obesity NOW before Diabetes becomes a issue for you. Mike seems to think that this wound is going to go away tomorrow and he will be able to spring up and resume life. I am looking at this ugly invader on his back and know that it is going to be months and months of him enduring pain and boredom before he will be able to move freely again.
I don't need anyone to say how sorry they are in this thread. This is put here for educational purposes. No one deserves this type of an invader in their body. If this doesn't scare this man who weighs 312 pounds to do something about his lifestyle, then I know I will be planning his funeral soon. This has scared me to death! I hope this doesn't lead to his!
Thanks for listening- and those who are pm'ing me and receiving less than nice responses from me, my apologies. I am stressed beyond imagination right now- dealing with mike, tazzy, christmas, and bailey. I just want the planet to stop for a minute so i can step out in space-
