Tweed Oh WOW - she`s feeling good again! Thank god that another crises seems to have worked out. There are so many of them lately. I totally understand your "wrecked nerves". Since October last year I get nervous twitching eyebrows just if a cat of mine behaves slightly different. And my heart freezes everytime I assume that something might be wrong with one of them.. It is time that times get better. Yay - many, many more happy days for KFC and you! Bettina |

Tweed Ah yes - I forgot something. Don`t want to bother you with unwanted suggestions, but this one helped me soo damn good: Everytime my nerve costume has been down beyond anything I took lecithine pills - and they really helped me feel better. Sort of lubricates the brain cells and nerve costume. And the pressure at the temporal bones (?) easens up. Bettina |

No, I hadn't slept and yes the worry kept me up. Do you have to work today (Friday)? I crept into work on Wednesday after 3 hours sleep. I was still awake at 5 Friday morning so I decided not to go. It would not be a good idea to have me driving for 45 mins in the rush hour on two hours sleep. I did the necessary chicken/cat feeding/watering, rang in to work at 9 and crashed out until 3. Please take care of yourself, too, Tweed! I am a poor sleeper at the best of times. I also have far too much imagination for my own good. I have be careful about what I watch on the television, anything "scary psychological" will either keep me awake afterwards or give me nightmares. So when TED says to me, basically, that these are the last two injections he is prepared to give to KFC to prolong her life it's not surprising, I suppose, that it sends me into panic mode. My imagination takes me to the surgery, holding her for that last injection, feeling her slump in my arms as she dies. Tweed |

Tweed, try and take care of yourself, I know that is hard when you have so
much on your mind. When I knew I had two weeks left with my Scooter dog, I nearly wore myself out. What is in the cats book of life, like we humans, will be. You have done all you can so please look out for yourself. Your know KFC would want that. After all, she loves you as much as you love her. "Christina Websell" wrote in message ...

"Smokie Darling (Annie)" wrote in message ... I Ahhh, how sweet of the counsellor to listen to that. I imagine that he would understand though, seems the counsellors understand things that I would be raising my eyebrows over (or at least I *think* I'd raise my eyebrows) Counsellors are not allowed to raise their eyebrows at anything. If I said I wanted a gender reassignment (not that I do, you understand..) he would not bat an eyelid. It was him that persuaded me to seek medical attention for my awful abdominal pains. You know me, hop to the surgery on a severed leg.. He visited me in hospital and when I was diagnosed with ovarian ca, and when I told him, he turned away to hide his tears. He thought I didn't notice it. He changes my light bulbs, gives me his deceased father-in-law's slow cooker because he noticed I didn't have one, and his tripod for birdwatching he hasn't used in ages. I love this man in a platonic way. Bless his heart, this man has a beautiful soul. We meet monthly and he gets the lot about anything that is upsetting me. He takes it well ;-) My employers have to pay for him. Serves them right for letting me get bullied which I told them about and they did nothing. Must be thousands of pounds now. Am I bovvered? ;-) No. Tweed |

I disagree. If the medicine was specifically for diarrhea, it should be stopped as soon as the diarrhea has stopped. Joy I agree with your disagreement, having taken one too many doses of Pepto Bismol myself once. -- http://www.serenityscenes.com/ Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...dotes/200807/1 |
