Kelly needs help with her kitties!!!

Hi everyone! Kelly wanted me to post this message in response to all of your kind posts.

**hugs**

****************************
Thank you all for your concern, prayers and ideas. First and formost, I wanted to let you all know that while what my "new" boss did, it is NOT illegal. I signed a form saying that I had a 6-month probationary period and could be let go for ANY reason whatsoever and they did NOT have to tell me why. I signed it, fully understood it and well, got to use it too!

With all things, I know it'll all work out. Yea, it sucked, I was doing very well. I was there early each day, the drive was fine and I was really looking forward to starting my life again. While working I was feeling pretty good, outside of the one day I had to go to the ER. (my ER visits do NOT mean I'm having an attack, its just the pain getting a bit too much for my meds. This normally only happens at night, so it shouldn't have indicated anything like an attack.) I was at work at 5:55 a.m. the following day, doing my work. While I was in the ER, after I was givin the meds, I was pacing my room and begging my ER doc to let me go back to work, for this exact reason.

But, like my mom says, things happen for a reason and the job, the boss and some of the co-workers really were dreadful. Like I said before, I had already spoke to HR about a transfer to another dept whenever available.

My main problem is paying for the boarding fees. I cannot volunteer time there, or work off any fees. They don't do that there, unfortunately. The cats will never, ever be welcome at my mom's house. I need to respect that, they've allowed me in their home and are providing me with food and shelter and are helping me with my bills so I don't have any further trouble. I'm elgible for unemployment and will be recieving that soon, so I can pay my bills and contribute.

I'm working with a temp agency that I've worked with before and I'm going to work at least temp jobs until the right thing comes along for me, and it will. I'm doing whatever I can to save myself and my cats.

I cannot let them go. I don't have anything else in my life, but my very small family and those cats (and of course my amazing PT family!!). The two at David's house are fine and able to stay as long as I need them too.

I'll just have to make it work. I'm relentless in my pursuits and I need to do this. Luckily, I'm feeling pretty OK. I have two appts in the next 2 weeks with my specialist and pain doc and will discuss strategy to keep me feeling OK.

I may be a candidate for disability, but, I wouldn't be able to work and I need to do that. Disability pay for me would only be approx $1200 a month and that is nowhere near enough to live on out here. I'm healthy and able *enough* to work, I just wont be running marathons or lifting heavy objects...I work a desk job, thankfully.

Thank you all so much for your concern, prayers and love. While its been really hard for me to get online recently, it'll be much easier in the next month. My parents are buying a computer and getting a high speed cable line so I'll be back on. Yay!!!

Um, what else?? I'm working with my temp agency and will make the rounds at all the local hospitals with my resume. Hopefully something will turn up. At least I have my temp agency that can offer me work anytime I need/want it, so that's really good. :)

Again, thank you all sooooo very much. You're wonderful and I will keep all your good wishes and great advice with me.

This also may insterest you...I'm going to be seeing a psychologist ASAP to help me deal with all this stuff. I know you've been worried for me, but I know this'll help. Its helped in the past and its something I need to help me be happy and healthy.

Love you!! I'll be back soon!!!

Love, Kelly :)

Thanks, Karen. I went looking for this thread the other day to see what was going on. Please let Kelly know that she remains in my prayers. Her attitude is magnificent and I know she's going to find her "place" soon.

Karen, thanks for posting this for Kelly.

Just look at our girl - just as determined as always to get right on top of things and make it positive and move forward.

We are all behind you Kelly with our prayers and love every step of the way.

Thanks for the update Karen.:) I'm glad to hear that Kelly is being so optimistic and positive.:) I hope that things start going her way so she will be able to eventually live with her cats again. I'm keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care Kelly. (((HUGS)))

It will also be great to have you back online again soon.;)
