~T4 levels are still too high so we're increasing the dosage of Tapizole.
~She's tachycardic. Vet wants to listen again to make sure there's no murmur.
~Creatinine levels are too high. Vet wants her on a low protein, prescription diet. Hoping we can bring them down fast and avoid potential kidney failure.
~Another $110 blood test in one month to see how she's responding to the new dosage.
~She also needs a teeth cleaning, badly. Not sure if I'm going to be able to afford it all simultaneously.

Surprisingly, with all of this, she's the same old girl she's always been. Maybe a little cranky with my mom's two boy cats, but that's nothing new. She likes people, not cats. She's more energetic than most felines her age. I was asked by three separate people at the vet's if she was *really* 14 years old.

But the nagging worry about her health is there, in the back of my head...
