I am very down. I had the epidural last week and I don't think it worked. The doc gave me the pain patch and I can't believe that with all that medication, I am still in pain.
On Friday, one of my cats were acting funny. I noticed that he was extremely skinny and was whimpering. Radar is under 2 years old and has had many growth spurts like this before. But this one was different. Joe took him to the vet on Saturday and they told me his kidney enzymes were way too high. Here we go again. They told me he needed iv fluids and to bring him back on Sunday so that they can do the drip for a whole day. We had to pick him up that afternoon, because there is no one at the animal hospital at nite. They gave us special food and medicine and Joe brought him back this morning. I am waiting to hear from them about his condition.
First my puppy and now my cat. What is going on with my life? I don't know, but hurt me all you want but leave my pets alone. Sometimes I feel that I have done something terrible to deserve all of this. I am on the verge of tears again after I cried all day yesterday. I hope everything turns out treatable with Radar. Maybe that will lift my spirits a bit.
Sorry I am so blah but I don 't have much left in me.

My God , it seems like when a person is down they just keep kicking dirt on top of you doesn\'t it ! I am so sorry to hear that Radar is so sick. Give the epidural alittle more time, and don\'t give up. You are depressed from the chronic pain, work crapping on you, and now this, gosh if you weren\'t upset there would be something wrong with you. There probably isn\'t much I can say to you to make you feel better, and I am sorry. How about if I send you a big ole soft hug? Let us know how things go ok? sandy
We are here for you. I also feel bad that all these things are happening to you. I have 3 dogs and a cat too and I love them. So sorry about the pain meds not working. Stress can make pain worse. That is what\'s happening to me right now. You are not alone. You have a lot of friends on DS that care about you. Here\'s some hugs for you.
You know, the two ladies are right, you are feeling normal considering everything you are going through. I think that maybe what we need to do is find a way to help you relief your stress. Might not be easy considering you are in bed with pain, but have you heard of mind over matter?? Sometimes when I have an evil migrane and nothing seems to help, I start thinking of vacations, events, parties, or just silly things, things that make me feel happy, once a bad thing comes to mind, I force myself to keep thinking my happy thoughts. Following that, I say a prayer and shortly afterwards, I sleep and wake up so refreshed. I wish this can help you. I know that it sounds like b.s. but I actually do this. Please take care and keep me posted. ~~xoxoxox
So sorry about your pets hope they get well soon for you. I know how important they are in our lives always there when you need them the most. Take care of your self, wish there was something more I could do for you.
