Okay, quick update. Spent the day after Thanksgiving at the ER finding out if I had or was having a heart attack. All the tests came back negative. Thanks God. Had my stress test a week later and that came back negative as well. The pain I feel in my chest (yes, still have it!), apparently is acid reflex. REALLLLY bad acid reflex. Also my blood pressure is now in the hypertension range. I t varies from 149 to 179!!!! I have given up the Chinese food, and it has gone back to being three points in the PRE-hypertension.
I lost twenty pounds doing the Chinese food for dinner. But I don't want to have a heart attack or stroke out. Must find something else that I can portion control.

I had to put little Miss Jilly to sleep. She just faded away in a space of a week. Stopped eating, and I started feeding her chicken broth with a syringe. She didn't want it, but she perked up. I thought maybe she was sick, but no money for vet. Then I realized how SKINNY she was. I knew she had lost some weight, and I thought it was because she was gambling around the backyard. The fourth morning she couldn't walk and I knew, she wasn't sick , but dieing. I knew it was time to put her to sleep. I knew it had to be cancer.
My sister took her in for me. I can't really afford to LOSE any more work. The vet examined her after she was dead, and yes, she had a mass in her abdomen, and he knew there was one on her liver, because the skin around her ears was yellow. She was in liver failure. No amount of money could have saved her. I wouldn't have put her to sleep until this week anyway, even if I had know. She was doing well until Tuesday. She was so happy in the backyard. I'm so glad I let her out.
