  • What happened yesterday which led to the hospitalisation

    Here’s what happened after I finished disinfecting upstairs yesterday. Out of the blue, I felt cold. Very, very cold. I could not continue disinfecting downstairs. Husband took my temperature, it was 38.5 degrees. He decided something was very wrong and I simply had to go to the hospital, so he got a referral letter from…

  • Greetings from the hospital

    Hi everyone.  I’m writing from the hospital now.  Still admitted, and would be so probably (hopefully) for only one more day. I told husband to go home last night and stay with the cats. So he did. This morning, we texted so that I could tell him who to feed what. Luckily I had recently…

  • Kah Yein’s Update

    Hi. Joy here. This is an update from Kah Yein: *** 2.40am Fimally fever down. Feeling better. Could sleep for a few hours just now. Both lungs were badly infected, shown in X-Ray. Thank you very much for everyone’s kind wishes. *** Wishing you a speedy and full recovery Kah Yein ❤️

  • Kah Yein admitted due to lung infection

    Hi everyone. Joy here. Just to let you know that Kah Yein is admitted in hospital for lung infection. Her lung X-Ray looks like Juno’s or Hiro’s and is pretty badly infected. Luckily they have not collapsed yet. She is so cold and trembling at the moment. All aid payments put on hold until she…

  • Upstairs – all disinfected and some information about the SJS hazard

    Upstairs – all disinfected! I went to see my pharmacist to ask for advice. I’ve already been dosed with a medication that has the potential to cause Stevens-Johnson’s Syndrome for 3 days without being informed, so what can I do for myself now? The doctor did not inform me of the potential hazards. Probably didn’t…

  • Disinfecting the entire house

    We have three full days to disinfect the house before the boys come on Monday. This morning, I started cleaning since I couldn’t sleep anyway. Then I went out for my 2.5km walk which I do daily, but skipped while I was sick.  Made it without feeling tired. Then taiji with Gerald, did that too,…

  • I could not sleep all night again

    I wish the title could have been My Fair Lady’s “I could have danced all night”, literally, dancing ballet all night! But no. I could not sleep a wink again. It’s one of the IV-medications that is causing this and I don’t know which one, but I’m thankful I have said goodbye to the IV-port…

  • Juno needs sunshine

    A good knock on my head, a stark reminder – Juno needs sunshine. I recently got acquainted with a new nutritionist and we got talking yesterday. I told him I contracted mycoplasma pneumonia and I mentioned Juno had a mycoplasma infection too, in early October this year. His first question was: Mold? Fungi? Cold damp…

  • Goodbye IV-port (my mycoplasma infection and our brilliant vets)

    My mycoplasma relapsed last night (don’t worry please, I can still function). As the doctor had said, it’s a “marfan” bacteria. It will keep coming back. (But it didn’t come back for Juno, you know. 14 days on Doxy, kau-tim.) So, I consulted my brilliant pharmacist and also checked out all my cats’ antibiotics (I…

  • Way, way back in 2010….the Selayang pound rescue (Pepper)

    Way back in 2010, in our second year, we were very gung-ho and we did pound rescues. First, I joined another organisation in the Puchong Pound rescue, then we did the Klang Pound rescue and in 2010, we did the Selayang Pound rescue. And Klang again after that. Very gung-ho at that time. No more…

  • Juno and Gerald’s news and reflections

    Juno did not have any soft stools all day since the morning round yesterday. I think I should give her the Feline Gut Soothe for at least a week or so now. It’s so good of her to willingly lick up the probiotic mixed with Ciao treats. I don’t have to force feed her. Planning…

  • Our cats verdict on Equilibrio Adult Hairball

    I’ve decided to try Equilibrio since the Blondies and Riley still rely heavily on kibble. But first things first, if you search the web for the unbiased review on Equilibrio by cats.com, please take note that they are reviewing the Equilibrio produced in Europe, whereas the Malaysian importer is importing the Equilibrio from Brazil which…

  • More about my mycoplasma pneumonia

    I went for my fourth drip just now. This time I was seen by the head doctor and he explained that even though I am so much better, I have to complete the twice per day 3-day drip. So, no short cut there. The reason is, mycoplasma pneumonia is rare but very complicated (“marfan”, he…

  • Happy Meatless Tuesday with lazy-styled guacamole

    Guacamole Malaysian style (for dummies) I was going to make avocado pancakes with mashed avocado and green jackfruit flour, but it was too difficult to mash up the avocado. So I decided just make guacamole with tomatoes, without the mashing. Note: Tomatoes are better eaten cooked because the lycopene walls break down with heat and…

  • No “outings” for Juno today

    Because of her soft stools, Juno is being confined in the Safehouse today. No outing to Bunny’s Place for you, little one. Husband is at work, so I’m at home to ensure she doesn’t escape through the front door. She tried again this morning when husband left for work. She mooched around the cat tree,…
