Whine -- Another Ordeal (or Two) [LONG]
Kate and Jack were supposed to get their distemper vaccinations last
Wednesday, but the vet is only at the Petco closest to us every other Wednesday. So I had planned to go today, but realized over the weekend -- oops! It's Thanksgiving Thursday! They may not be there. I called, and sure enough, they weren't going to be. So I got them into that clinic yesterday for an appointment. Jack has a tapeworm. They both still have fleas and ear mites. Sigh. And I decided to go ahead and get them tested finally, so I could breathe easier (using the rest of that dental fund). They tested negative -- yeah!!!! Then I asked for a prescription for Prednisone for Arthur's asthma. And that's when things began to fall apart. I pay the bill, and find out first that they have given them the combo distemper-feleuk shot, which I NEVER do and did NOT want. I have had to be very clear and insist on this in the past, but I was just tired and not thinking yesterday that I had to make it clear. I wish they (and other vets, too -- it isn't just them) would STOP pushing this! The feleuk vaccine has been noted as a culprit in VAS (vaccine associated sarcoma), and I did NOT want to put these kittens as risk for this. :-( Now they are. Plus it cost me $26 I didn't intent to spend. Then they tell me they charge a $10 prescription fee. What???!! I am getting Prednisone, which is $5 at the pharmacy, $20 at the vet, and they're making it cost $15. I just lost it. It's been a hard year, I am very stressed out, and I'm sorry, but I just fell apart and burst into tears like a silly girl and lost it. My mother-in-law had taken me there, and went in to talk to them. The vet tech said she would cover the $26 for the feleuk vaccinations, and put it on as a credit at the clinic (like I'm ever going back there!). She was very disgusted. My MIL decided to cover the script fee, and I pretty much demanded three refills on it instead of the one he said he would do. So, crap. What a lousy experience. And after that, I've decided I'm keeping Kate and Jack. Just don't tell DH, okay? ;-) The second ordeal? DH talked me into buying a used organ for $10 at a yard sale. Why I went along with this, I have no idea. I shouldn't have. It didn't work right, and I could find no one interested in taking a look at it to see if it was fixable. So it's been sitting in the middle of the dining room, collecting dusty for several months. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I like to do a big feast and invite friends over. Which means we need room. Which means that organ HAS GOT TO GO! DH can't get it by himself. I ask Banjo, our neighbor, if he could help get it out tonight. He sounds less than enthused, and tells me he'll come over after he eats and see if he can move it by himself. He never shows up. After the day I have had (hell, the YEAR I have had), I am sitting there at midnight, with no way to get the stupid organ out of here, and thinking I may just have to cancel Thanksgiving. But no. I'm not gonna do that. Okay, I have asthma and emphysema. Okay, I hurt my back last week. But no one else is going to help me out, so what am I going to do? I am going to drag the #$%^^ organ, by myself, all the way across two rooms to the front door. Then I am going to lift it (use your arm and leg muscles! Not your back!) over the theshhold, and push it out the door onto the porch. So this middle-aged woman who falls down walking down the street managed to get an organ out the door. It's sitting there on the front porch now, covered in snow. Should be an interesting conversation piece for our dinner guests tomorrow. Tomorrow had better be peaceful and lovely. And I wish the same for all of you, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not.

): Tomorrow had better be peaceful and lovely. And I wish the same for all of you, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. Happy Thanksgiving to you too GL. I'm sorry about Jack and Kate, and it wasn't what you wanted, and both Shamrock and Bonnie had to have FeLV shots for 2 years while Shadow was alive and I'm hoping they'll never develope VAS, too. Of course theirs was because they were at risk for FeLV. About your asthma and emphysema, did you ever quit smoking for good? I now also have a very good reason to quit smoking. I was diagnosed with macular degeneration, and there's a vitamin/mineral therapy that has been shown to slow down the progress, but one of the vitamins is A (beta-carotene) which, in the high doses necessary to help with AMD, can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Hmmm...that's a tough decision - blindness or lung cancer. **sigh** Time for both of us to quit! -- Cheryl |
