Couch 74

Hang in there and be strong, Ready. Have faith and confidence you deserve better.

I am equally frustrated and grateful for our public health system, but I was discharged on Monday, told an outpatients appt would be made for Thursday it is now nearly midday on Wednesday still no call. The clerk on the ward i was on said she faxed my request yesterday morning and also sent it via internal mail. I know I should be grateful we have a health system that runs as well as it does but I still see areas where it can be improved and the new govt want cut funding it again. I certainly didn't vote them in.

SRV on a Tuesday nite. Sometimes I forget how good he was.

((RTS))

I didn't .he woke us up at 2am with meowing every time he moved so I knew he was in a lot of pain because he is not a cat to meow .i could also see his abdominal muscles contract. we rushed him to the 24 trauma animal hospital . and they catheterized him and gave him pain meds and fluids through an iv .he will be there now until Thursday. right now the doc said he is not producing the amount of urine she would like to see so she is keeping him and loading him with fluids but needs to monitor it because they also found he has fluid around his heart .they did an ultrasound today and we are waiting to hear about that.

Severe Sore Throat right now

hugs to all of the cat mommas ... so hard. Granite I hope Sir Donut gets better.
(is that his name? I am so bad with names)

Ike...thanks for the SRV tune...love him. He's one of my son's favs. Speaking of my S, he's been building his own electric. He's so funny, every part that came in got paraded around the house for everyone to admire. I think he's almost done, it's basically a strat, with the absolute best of everything (according to him). The body is a '62, I guess that pre 65 is best? Or something like that. I just can't wait to hear him play it.

I am feeling a bit better today...the sun is out here on the east coast, so maybe it's warm. I wish I could get outside and soak it in, but that's just not in the cards today.
At least I'll sit by the window though.

crap crap crap the vet just called me and said my cat is doing ok but the catheter they have still shows that there is still blood in his urine. they may want to keep him in the hosp until Friday now. I know he is just a cat but I love him and he wants to come home .I go visit him and he is so lovey to my hubby and I and so glad to see us . I want him to feel better and come home

where is everyone today?

Aw granite! I started therapy bc my kitten of 8 mos died suddenly of cancer, so i understand. Hang in there.

Feeling a little better but still fairly sick.

Went to the doctor and they gave me something to help it out.

just got home from crafting and the cat update is that his urine is cleared up but he has a fever and that might have to do with the pain medication he is on so they are changing it . going to visit the little baby soon. he will be so happy to see us

I went to T today. T apologised for the poor choice of phrasing re 50 minutes with her being 'a luxury'. She said she meant it in the way that I don't have any other support so it is a luxury in that respect?! I think I believed her and I did feel a closeness today which I haven't felt before. I am so grateful to everyone here for your feedback and support and encouragement. I was pleased I found the courage to discuss it again today.

I left feeling tearful but didn't manage to show any emotion in session which saddens me. I then received a toxic text from two friends and was shouted at by my H for spending money (he doesn't know it went on T)! All feels too much tonight and I feel very depressed. I really want to see T before next Wed. It feels too long to wait.

I am struggling. Thanks again for all your support Couch Peeps. Xx

Is it only Wednesday? This week is soo so so so long.
Granite, hope your cat comes home soon..fur kids are the best.
AAA-Glad you cleared up the "luxury" speak with T.
RTerroni hope you get to feeling better.
Wiki glad to hear you are feeling better today.

Well, this makes me feel good; I was born in 1961, so I guess a '61 body is one of the best?

Mr T said he was sad I might leave. But I'm not leaving yet!

Healed - So very sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Deepest sympathy.

Healed...I'm very sorry for your loss...

I am really struggling today. Have just left one job (pushed out and left badly) and starting another job which isnt going well. I am feeling pathetic, idiotic and vulnerable. Totally out of my comfort zone. I was in the last job for 11 years and feel totally used and abused. Added to this I had a nasty situation last night with two friends. I am fed up of being used. I am a door mat. They all acknowledge this and treat me differently to our other friends. This hurts and I feel invisibe, as if they can go on hurting me because I dont matter. My H is a bully. My teenage sons are behaving like him. I am not eating because I am stressed and I feel so ill. I am anxious, trying to hold it all together but feel on the verge of tears (I am at work) this wouldnt be good. I cant go on like this.

I am such a loser in life.

hi alone . you are not invisible at all. are you getting along any better with your T? starting any new job is going to be hard but seems especially hard for us with self esteem issues. it was probably the same when you started your last job. give it time and I bet you will get more confident as you go . it will be hard at first but you'll get it
