I got a diagnosis for my cat finally. It means he needs to be on a prescription diet that costs a small fortune or a med that costs $100/month or more since it costs more to get in a liquid. I'll get used to it I guess but it is just so frustrating. Every time it seems like money should start to get easier something happens that makes it harder.

I have one thing I really want to do and that is pay my therapist at least a little bit for my sessions which he hasn't profited from in years. It seemed like I was at the place that should happen and then my cat got sick and my vet bills have been immense and I'm needing to pay more on my hospital bill from my surgery in February because the balance isn't coming down with my pdoc's bill added each month. I hate that I can't pay my therapist even though he says he is ok with it. And until I get this sorted out I just can't.

I think I'm heading for some depression anyway. Time to pull out the SAD lamp. I will do what my cat needs, it's that or he'll die of infection eventually, but I just never thought my 1 year old cat would have a serious health problem. I lost 2 senior cats 2 years ago and they had all sorts of health problems; I was expecting some drama free years before these 2 had issues.

I'm glad it isn't something fatal. I've been afraid of that. But more than double the food budget.....so difficult. And it's not like things are going to be easy monetarily for a while anyway; first I have to buy fall clothes, a fall coat and a winter coat because of weight loss (good problem but not cheap) and then it will be Christmas shopping. I have some of that done but lots to go.

Too much.....But at least we know what is wrong!
