Of course one of them cost us 2,000 dollars in January, and we are still getting him through recovery requiring 1:1 time with him as he relearning how to eat. He is doing better every week. He has become a real love bug wanting to stay with husband d all he time. He knows we are trying to help him. All this to say giving our cat extra care has helped my mood
Are you still seeing the psychologist. At least call him to make him aware what you are dealing with these last days. Info in real time as opposed to waiting until the next visit is helpful in a proper diagnosis.
Here's hoping tomorrow will be better than today.

No, the psychologist terminated working in my healthcare system back in September.
Pets can be a comfort. I'm sorry your kitty has been so sick. Back when I did have a dog, she went through being very sick with cancer. I spent about $3000 on her in the last month of her life. A veterinarian talked me into letting him do surgery, which was kind of foolish. After opening her tummy, he called me to say the cancer was spread much further than he anticipated and was inoperable. We decided to euthanize her right then and not let her wake up. I didn't want her to wake up with a painful incision. He had told me the surgery might give her another 3 years of life. It was ridiculous for him to hold out that hope. This was a very prestigious veterinary practice. I never expected to be hustled like that. At the time, I had a much higher income, and I could handle the expense. I chalk it up as a lesson learned. I won't let that experience discourage me from getting another dog.
I don't hear anything from my sisters. I'm trying to let go of caring very much. We're just not close anymore. My neighbors have been nice and have offered rides, if I need them. I haven't, but I appreciate them.
I guess I'll watch the president's speech now.
I hope we both sleep better tonight. I hope you're managing to get nourishment into your little "love bug." Caring for another being that needs special attention can be rewarding, whether it's a family member or a pet. The dog I'm interested in is in foster care right now. They haven't gotten back to me about him lately, but I suppose they will.
Life moves on.
