Hello family! The other night my 6 month old kitty was really sick. My hubby and I felt sooo powerless!! I think I felt more powerless over this than alchol, maybe not but close. Anyway, we had not a single dime to our name and my hubby was getting paid the next day but we felt she couldnt wait. I called several vets and vet hospitals and they all were unsympothetic and wanted cash up fromt. We were so wrought with pain and powerlesssnes. Finally my hubby took over the phone and called someone and they said bring her in imediately and we will take a post dated check! What releif! But then in the car her crying tortured me,, I was crying as hard as she was. Anyway,.the people were soooo friendly and the doc was gentle and kind. I couldnt believe how well she was with the exam. Here is a real funny,,, he had his stethascope trying to listen to her chest and he started laughing he said he couldnt hear over her purring!! Anyway, today her and her brother are playing hard once again and it is soooo good for my heart to watch them. Oh, here is the other great thing,,,,they gave us a $9.00 discount because we rescued her!!
I'm so glad things worked out and the kitty is OK.
You're post, however, made an old resentment new again, for me.
I had a beautiful English Springer many years ago. I loved, loved, loved that damned dog! I always let her out right before bed. One night ex hubby went out on the porch to call her in. She was wasn't ready! He called and called and called, she continued to ignore him. Finally when she made her way onto the porch he SCREAMED at her, picked her up and threw her over the railing onto the ground, approx. 4 feet. Not long after that her back legs 'stopped working'. The xrays showed degenerative back problems, which, according to the vet were 'set off' by the fall. Many vet bills and lots of medications later, she died. I grieved that loss for a long time and I blamed ex hubby. That was over 10 yrs ago.
Ex hubby has (finally) been put on my 8th step, but after reading your post and being reminded of what happened, it feels as fresh as the day it happened. I'm back to square one on that amend!
Didn't mean to hijack your post, just needed to share.................and guess I needed to revisit this resentment.
((hugs))

Oooooh, honey. Noooo. No apologies needed. I'm glad you posted this, really. I have a resentment still that I was not aware of. Had it not come up today, it would have come up at some point. I'm truely glad it was here and not when I could have been blindsided.
Thank you, for your post. You helped me today.
