Serious pain flare up today (and no pain meds I can safely take..yay), feeling very bleh. Just going to hole up in here with my angel Marmalady and cry some.

*gentle hugs* Aw, Mytical, I'm so sorry. Wish there was something concrete I could do ...

*virtual hugs to everyone*

I just wanna hide here for the next month or so. Many things going on. Latest is that I had to have my female kitty put to sleep sunday. She and her brother turned seven years old this month. I've had them since they were eight weeks old. She started having many many many petite seizures. I'm not sure if her brother has figured out she's not coming home... My cats would sleep with me and liked to escort me everywhere......

I'm so sorry for your loss! I've always had kitties since I've been out on my own -- there comes a time when you know there is nothing else to be done but it never makes it easier. Hugs to you and kitty's brother ...

I was just coming to this thread to say that I fear my 20-year-old cat's days on earth may be very limited. She's basically stopped eating again and today she can barely walk. She got her subcutaneous fluids yesterday, and I had them draw blood...her kidneys are bad again. It may just be her time...but I don't want to let her go...at the same time, I don't want her to suffer. Many hugs to all of you...and thinking of your precious furbabies who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge or are left behind to miss the ones who have.

*hugs to all* BTDT 20 years is a good long life for a cat. I know that is not any comfort, but I am assuming most if not all of them were spent with you? Then that pretty much guarantees they were very good years. Not much solace in that, but hopefully some.

Notmyproblem never easy losing a loved one, and I stink at giving advice so I will offer some virtual ice cream and hugs instead.

Can I crawl in for a while? Problems of all sorts, one thing after another for a couple of years now, should be getting better, but seems like everything that gets a bit better comes with a new set of problems. Financial, health, anxieties, you name it and then some. Some days are just harder to cope than others. Sigh.

[Mytical]

*offers Merriweather a hug* Life likes to kick a person when they are down. Just flip life the bird and keep at it.

I had to say goodbye to my beloved kitty cat this morning. She was not going to get any better and I knew it. I couldn't let her suffer so we took her to the vet and had her put to sleep. She was one of the best things that ever happened to me, and I already miss her like crazy.

[dragon_wings]

Aww BTDT! *huggles* I'm so sorry!

[Food Lady]

(((BTDT))) You did the humane thing; proud of you.

[Mytical]

I know you all are as tired of hearing about pain as I am in being in it..*sighs* Think I am going to have to ask doc to double my nerve medicine dosage..think getting immune to current dose, or neuropathy is getting worse..cause the current dose is just not working much now. Will be here in the corner with Marmalady, trying not to cry.

[FormerCallingCardRep]

Mytical, I wish I could take the pain that you and hubby are both having right now away. I hurts to see someone you love in pain.

I think I am going to start getting my corner ready for next weekend. It is going to be a rough weekend. Our second daughter would have turned 21 next weekend

[Pixilated]

to all who need one.

BDTD, I am so sorry for your loss. Knowing it was the only thing to do never makes it easier.

Mytical, that is what we are here for. You are doing what you can to cope and that is all anyone can ask. Don't think for a minute we are "tired" of listening if you need to talk.

FCCR ... we'll make sure your corner has soft cushions.

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Mytical, please don't ever think we don't want you to share your feelings with us, emotional or physical. We are so sad that this is happening to you but we are your friends and we will be here for you. (((HUGS)))

FCCR...those anniversaries are just so, so hard. My bad months are August (mostly) and September (the early part)...and they're coming around again already. My thoughts are with you and your family as you remember your beautiful daughter.

Thank you to all of you who have sent their condolences to me about my cat. It truly means a lot.

[Mytical]

Crud. Thanks to my memory issues..I forgot if I took my medicine at midnight or not. If I didn't pain will be serious soon (even if I take it, it can get bad..but guaranteed to if I haven't). Can't risk taking it again, that would be really really bad. Ah crud on a crud stick.

[Marmalady]

*plumps cushions up for Mytical and cuddles up close* Poor love...
BTDT and FCCR, big hugs for you both and everyone who wants one.

And I have cookies for anyone who needs chocolate therapy.....
