The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.-Murphy's law

I am probably the most impatient person alive. I called the animal shelter today, and asked about my kitty. He is only 1 lb so I will be waiting at least one more week! We can still go and see him there, but I can't wait to bring him home.

We have also been thinking about names, and I came up with one I really like. Here is the short list of names I had been doing a bit of thinking on. :)
  • Orion ( It would match somewhat with my other kitty, Comet.)
  • Moose ( I have always been obsessed with moose, but I think that name if more fitting for a dog.)
  • Tonks ( A name I got from one of my favorite series, Harry Potter.)
  • Phoenix ( A phoenix is a bird of myth; they usually live for 1000 years. When the bird dies, a new one is born from it's ashes. It is usually known for its immortality and beauty.)

We finally decided on Phoenix; I really love that name.:) And I love the exotic aspect of the name.

I also went to the doctor today for a check-up on my eye, and the news scared me a bit. It seems that my vision change is due to some swelling inside of my eye. The doctor is not sure what is causing the swelling, and he is hopeful that it will go away on its own.
I will have to wait about another week and hope for a change, but if there is none or it gets worst, I will have to go back. He told me the next step will have to be a CAT scan or MRI.
His biggest worry with the swelling is that enough pressure could cause retinal detachment, a very scary term for me.

I seem to have the absolute worst luck when it comes to medical conditions, but I'm praying it will clear up soon! :)

Pheonix is such a neat name! That's really scary news about your vision. :( I'm sure everything will work out fine though. Talk to you soon!

I'm so sorry you're having that scare right now :( I've had several MRI's done with my tumor, so call me if you need moral support or want someone to go with you!
