Treatment #5

Treatment #5 is over and done. The good news is I remained at a 50% dosage. The disappointing news is I only gained 1/2 pound, so really I didn't gain any weight. I've been eating good so I was really not happy with the scale. I had two really good weeks, back to work one night a week and a bonus from being on call at the hospital. For some reason this past week I've had the blahs, tired, stomach not in great shape. I didn't do any IV treatments again, maybe a mistake, but I want to make it on my own. I hope I don't have to call the clinic this week. Next week I should be half way through, unless the lower dosage means more weeks. I think a CT scan is due after the next treatment. Last time I got sick from drinking that junk you have to have. I can hardly wait!! So much to do and nice weather right now and me with no energy. The "mystery" illness hit both my young llamas this week. That is a death sentence for them and that is hard to take. We don't have a male now, so I guess we may be out of the llama business for awhile at least. I tried to bottle feed my last baby donkey with no luck. She even rubbed her mouth on the ground and ate some dirt. Is cow milk really that different?? I'm still concerned she is not getting enough to eat and need to try something else with her. I hope I can get back to "normal" in the next day or two. I'm still commited to work on Thursday. I guess that's about all I can say right now. Next week may be more interesting.
