Audrey & I are both sick... meh

I just got back from taking Audrey to the vet on an emergency visit.  She was running a temp of 106 when she got there (105.8 at home).  Her feline leukemia & aids test was negative.  She got shots for her fever & an antibiotic as well as meds for both to bring home.  I'll take her back on Monday.

When I got home I was feeling warm myself.  My temp was 99.6.  meh.  I hope it's just allergies.

Two Things...

First, my 'baby' Star isn't feeling well.  I took him to the vet yesterday for an emergency visit because his eye was looking bad.  The vet gave him some drops & told me to call if he started getting worse over the weekend.  So, of course, last night he got out (he's an indoor/outdoor cat, which I'd tried to avoid when we moved here in '05 to no avail) and returned with a wet head with two sores.  ::head:laptop::  Since it's Easter and he seems to be feeling okay otherwise I may wait until tomorrow morning to take him back into our vet.

I'd also like to share one of my favorite books on fibromyalgia & chronic myofasical pain.  A friend of ours recommended it to me and I found a copy on eBay.  It's called Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain: A Survival Manual (Second Edition) by Devin Starlanyl & Mary Ellen Copeland. (ISBN 1-57224-238-8).  It's got good sections on trigger points, comorbid disorders and so on.

Okay, gotta run.
