I AM SO STRESSED
OK, on top of all the mystery pain SH*T, monday my laptop died in the
middle of a raging blizzard with a class waiting for me. I went into the raging blizzard to my "day job" office 1/2 mile away and was lucky to make it back. I had to buy a new iBook Tuesday. I had my CT scan this a.m. and I suppose it will be MONDAY before I hear anything. And tonight Sugar threw up a hairball, OK, fine no big deal. Two hours later she began meowing manically and growled when I picked her up from hiding under the bed. I rushed her to the emergency vet and her blood work showed the same thing as back in January suggesting she was mounting some kind of infection. They gave her a shot of baytril to see if we can get a head start on it. She is home, looking miserable but at least she is looking miserable on the couch and not under the bed. I AM SO STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW I CANNOT TELL YOU. I know other people probably have a lot more to be stressed over. HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT???? |

"Karen" wrote SO STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW I CANNOT TELL YOU. I know other people probably have a lot more to be stressed over. HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT???? One thing that has really helped me is remembering that this earthly life, real as it often seems to us, is in fact quite ephemeral. It might even be a test or an exercise for us to learn how to 'rise above it all'. |

I AM SO STRESSED
(((((Karen))))) I know the feeling. Usually i ring up and whinge to a friend
or my mum, or here!!! Hope you are feeling a bit better. That is a very bad day indeed. Kick back, and have a long hot bath, light some candles and read your favourite book. Turn everything, phone, etc off for a half hour. Just sit back and cuddle your furbabies. I hope you feel better soon... "Karen" wrote in message news:2006032321401616807%kchuplis@alltelnet...

Do you have a sister? If not, I'm sure we can find you a bunch of surrogate sisters right here on this group. I"m so sorry, Karen. Sugar will get better, just like she did last time, and so will you. Be good to yourself. Don't take on anything "extra"...just do what you absolutely need to, to get by, until things level out. Still purring for you... Sherry |

I AM SO STRESSED OUT RIGHT NOW I CANNOT TELL YOU. I know other people probably have a lot more to be stressed over. HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT???? You've certainly had a bad week, Karen. Lots of purrs and hugs on the way. I don't have any advice on how to handle things. Make sure to cuddle with the cats a lot. Wish I could lend you Caliban for a while. He's a very good stress-reliever. In Finland we have something called Sisu; it's a mixture of chutzpah (sp?), tenacity (= stubborness), courage and plain refusal to give up. I wish you lots of Sisu to get you over this stretch of badness. And purrs for Sugar to feel better. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

Are you still experiencing pain, btw? And tonight Sugar threw up a hairball... later she began meowing manically...

Purrs for her to get better quickly! At least this time she got the shot early on, so maybe the infection won't have a chance to take hold. But you sure don't need all this! And having to buy a new computer on top of all that. More purrs for your CT scan to give you the all clear! Joyce |

UPDATE I AM SO STRESSED
You guys are the greatest. Sugar seems to be doing much better since
the anitbiotic shot. My scans came back normal. So, now I have something to treat IBS. To me that is such a vague thing, but we will see. If I don't feel better by Monday then I have another consultation. They did make it clear they did not think it was cancer, which was a relief all around. I still feel lousy, and it is still really a mystery but that at least seems ruled out. Thanks all soooooo much for your support. |

Thanks all soooooo much for your support. IBS isn't a vague thing at all. A lot of the time it can be treated fairly easily. Sending purrs that is the case for you. Yes stress will make it worse. But it can generate stress too, so don't feel like it is somehow your "fault" if you stress out. Jo |
