Update: Pye fooled us again, that cat is going to outlive us both.
But I HATE preparing for that time and now Im still a mess, I bust into tears last night not because of Pye but because I felt like a total idiot that cant remember anything, or manage to screw something up.
I went out the day before yesterday to get 1/4 lb of Jamician Blue Mountion because Im a coffee slut for rare coffee $50 a pound, but just wanted a wee bit as a treat, I also had to pick up prescriptions. So I headed out walked to the pharmacy 1 1/2 blocks away to get my owed pills since they were low the day before. No wallet. This one was already paid for so not so bad. I walk back to the apt to get my wallet for the other script got side tracked with using the restroom, and headed out again. This time I went to the coffee place about 5 blocks away...guess what still no wallet. They had already ground it, so Back I go to the apt to get said stupid tinkerbell wallet, still sitting where I left it. Walked back to the coffee place picked up my teeny package of amazing coffee and went back to the other pharmacy to get my other scripts, they are out of one. ARGHHH so come back shy of one of them.
We get Pyes meds together in advance in pill form and seperate am from pm, instead of getting the ams 2 days in a row he got pm.
Over the last week I have left either my wallet, the bag, or change sitting at any counter I went to. Its amazing I still have that damn wallet.
I know with chronic depression it effect the memory as does the medication I take, but its never been this bad.
Now I have a shit load of literal vet asst duties for Pye, poor baby is getting sticked somehow 6 times a day with insulin 2x a day, antibiotics 2 times a day and 1/2 unit of saline sub dermal to hydrate him.
We totally trust the vet and especially the angel Michael the vet assistant who has cared for Pye for over 10 years..this man love this cat. He does have a bit of an infection, but the main thing was is keytones were off the chart because he wasnt hydrating enough making toxic levels in his sytem. His medical care was adjusted and he is already improving.
We are very aware of his quality of life if you are wondering and have total faith in the amazing clinic and the love they all have for this wee cat. They didnt charge us for several things they gave us, literly stuffing my purse with needles, more antibiotic that we needed, ect to hold costs down, still got hit with close to 400 in charges, plus over 150 getting new insuling, blood test strips and keytone strips.
The two bright points is of course we still have this precious cat, who handles all that we do without a squirm, and when my sister was reporting numbers to Michael today she to him that Im a cat whisperer and had got him to eat more this morning.
I absolutely dread losing this cat, he is what gets me up everyday to make sure he has what he needs....but other than that I feel like Im just existing waiting for sleep to just get through another day.
I know the memory thing is just a part of my condition, but I am petrified of early onset alhiezmers (sp)
because my memory has deterioated drasticly. I know Im just chasing ghosts but I just cant let go of the feeling.
Sorry to vent its just been an awful week and I guess situations and SAD (seasonal affective disorder) is getting the best of me.
Thanks all ya gals for your support.
Hugs and prayers and magic faerie sprinkles to all those that needs some.
