Time for a change in meds

So, finally got Haku on phenobarb. I'm a little nervous about it and I hate the drug, but if it can prevent him from clustering like he did all day yesterday and this morning, then I'll deal with it. He had three seizures yesterday, and one this morning at 2:30. (Consequently I was up till 5 AM worrying about if he had another one, and another, and another.) I called his vet first thing this morning. She wasn't in but I spoke to another great vet who I'd never spoken to before, and he took the whole thing very seriously and was quite helpful. Cool thing: He also does Chinese medicine, and he gave me a powder to add to Haku's food to hold him over until the Phenobarb kicks in (usually about two weeks.) My fingers are crossed because another cluster like that and he will end up in the hospital to prevent anything worse. Now, he's on: Potassium Bromide (Kbr from now on,) Phenobarb, chelated magnesium, taurine, melatonin, vitamin C and the Chinese powder stuff.

Seriously, this had all better work. I'm really damn tired and poor Haku is exhausted.

Tonight in Kung Fu was more, and more intense sparring. I started getting into some of my favorite kicks and really trying to use my legs. I threw a spinning hook kick and it landed!

However, is it healthy that I have the Nine Inch Nails song “The Only Time” going through my head when I'm sparring? Probably not.

Tomorrow: hugeass myology test on pelvic girdle and the surrounding eighteen muscles. Then Swedish 2 tech. It's a long, long day.
