Just got home and Pidge's vet visit went great. Her heart rate was 170; it was 189 last visit and Dr. Lee was thrilled w/that. She also gained a little weight, which pleased him too because he said that cats usually lose weight on the meds she takes. He heard no congestion whatsoever so he said he wouldn't even do a chest x-ray. He did say, though, that her lungs and heart could fill w/fluid at any time. He said "I don't want to be negative because she's doing so great but you have to know that it isn't always going to be this way. You remember how fast it went w/Puddy". I said "I know but let me enjoy this moment. Right now she's doing wonderfully and I'm thankful for that". He said "Well, you know how I am, Mary. Expect the best but prepare for the worst". I guess he had to tell me that but I really didn't want to hear it today. I was shocked when the bill came to $27. I looked around and said "Are you talking to me?" and they laughed and said "Yeah, that's kinda low for you, huh, Mary?" I can't even remember the last time I had a two digit vet bill, if ever.

She really carried on the entire drive there and when she started on the way home, I said "Hey, no need to fuss now. We're going home". She stopped immediately. LOL So all in all, a good visit.
