And watch your sodium intake. I say that cause you are batching it currently, and taking a wild guess, my guess is you aren't eating quite as healthy as if the Missus was there watching you with her eagle eye...<br />Fluid retention is a thing, especially if you like chips, pickles, bacon, ham, canned soups, hungry man TV dinners, etc, etc, especially if you spend most of the day with your feet down while working on a computer--sound familiar?? Then you go to bed at night, putting your feet up so the heart is better able to pump ALL the fluid around, especially to the kidneys. Gravity is a law, not a guideline--feet down, gravity works against you, feet up, gravity is working for you. <br />Having said all that--Tuna is right--there are a lot of folks out there who have sleep apnea issues, and find a cpap is a magic invention that helps HUGELY with sleep quality. So, put it on your MD check list to discuss.<br /><br />Sending hugs to you, and Anya...it is so very difficult when the critters get older...but you are giving her what she needs most--lots of love, and pats, and attention, and love. Don't ya wish they could talk for even just a few minutes so you could find out what hurts if anything, and what they want you to do for them?? I miss my guy. Had him for 17 and a half years. Damn dusty in here suddenly...<br /><br />suz<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-40905792509174068742023-02-08T16:17:31.341-08:002023-02-08T16:17:31.341-08:00When you get to a certain age, having furry compan...When you get to a certain age, having furry companions can be a challenge.

It suits most of us here actually, until I read this kind of post. I begin (and so does Miss Jeanie) to miss the small furry ones. We’ve certainly had our share, the “main dog” and the “best cat” living with us almost as long as the kids. We were thinking about a brownish cat that Jeanie could wear around her neck to and from. But fur wraps are out of vogue here in Ormond-by-the-Sea.
