Eva’s Byte #278 – At a Crossroads
Perchance you’ve already been there. Sooner or later, we all arrive at a crossroads—a critical juncture at which to make an irrevocable, life-altering decision. There’s no turning back. Hence, the mind toll.
In my capacity as a pet parent, that journey toward a crossroads began today. Hope, my fifteen-year-old, black&white, female feline exhibited the same symptoms that started us on our veterinary odyssey over a month ago. While some of her medications had little discerning effect, one seems to be helping to keep food down. Until this morning. I also surmised she had a fever, so took immediate action.
The outcome of this today’s emergency visit gives us a window of opportunity for the duration of a month to see if reinstating the antibacterial liquid and Prednisone offer any improvement. It’s a straw to grasp. She’d already had an ultrasound, ruling out anything we didn’t already know about.
At Hope’s advanced age, I just want to maintain her quality of life: to be able to enjoy what she eats and not regurgitate it.
In my capacity as a writer, not always in the “write” frame of mind, I’m currently drafting chapter 54, part 3 of my Contemporary Work in Progress. Unless my characters tell me otherwise, I’ll be at a crossroads at the juncture of chapter 60. At least, that’s my tentative plan.
*Should you find yourself at a crossroads, may you make the right decision without any regrets.

Your Hope is fortunate to have your love. Her name tells the story. Where there is hope, good results are possible. All my most heartfelt wishes.
