Extremely Urgent Phred Needs Our Prayers

**Vermontcat** · 11-20-2005, 09:42 PM

Phred, thanks for posting a picture of Mr Bear.
If he ever gets tired of running around in his bathrobe and fuzzy slippers he can always get another outfit to wear from the Teddy Bear Co.
They even have a firefighter uniform that he can wear.
Have you looked at their website yet?

Tell Boots that Samantha was not happy when I brought my first bear home either.
I think because there are airholes in the box that cats are afraid that there might be another cat in there instead of a teddy bear.

It sounds like you are feeling better now that you are home with your furkids again.

Phred I'm glad to hear that your up and feeling better

I think Debbie's advice of a shot at bedtime wouldn't be such a bad thing

PS
Bon says "Sleep tight".

Awwwww, what a cute sleepy-pup!
Phred, you must be feeling well to keep up to all these PTer's comments! Bout that chamomille tea...I used to drink it "straight", the secret was to sip it, not guzzle it down. Really didn't taste so bad. Hey, how's Boots da kat at body massage, does he do that kneading thing kitty kats do? My kitty used to walk on my back (and my head) and knead it, always felt warm & relaxing -maybe you could make an appointmenst with Boots da masseuse before beddie-bye.

The Bon Appproach to sleepin ~
BigBed isn't Looooong enuff ... maybe I should try the floor?

*Guzzle* that tea stuff?

If I *sipped* it any slower - it'd evaporate!
I guess I didn't understand I had to FILL the Teacup with sugar or honey ...
never tried *chewing* a cup-a-tea before.

Dunno how a Sugar-BUZZ can help with sleepin.

KAT da Masseuse?
He usually falls asleeep HIMself before much of a massage happens.

Hee hee hee!!

Phred, you are just a riot and that bear is soo cute! Glad to hear you are doing better.

Hope you had a good night's sleeperz last night, Phred. If I remember correctly you always have been somewhat of a night owl, so seems like getting your inner clock readjusted to that of regular folks may take a bit of time. Add to that a bit of WORRY and it upsets the whole ball game, even for the good sleepers like me. Nothing worse than waking up at 2:22 am when all the worries come out to play anyways.

Don't expect you're drinking any caffinated beverages like coke, coffee, or re
gular tea. They can wreak havoc with a good sleep too.

Anyway, keep us up dated on how things are going.

Phred, I hope you are feeling better and have someone to have Thanksgiving dinner with or at the very least, bring it to you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
It will be lots happier for all of us now you are on the mend!

I could not have expressed this in a better way.
It is indeed a Happy Thanksgiving for many reasons - but foremost is that Phred is home with the critters and getting better each day. We all give thanks for this.

We're still alive & kickin!

Not kickin very high - but functional.
Chased the Doc again yesterday ... squalked about the NO sleep problemo.
Doc's Secretary called back: "Take 50 mg Benadryl."

I've taken 25 mg Benadryl for bee stings (very alergic to them kritters!) and
one tablet knocks me out!
Took 25 mg last night ... sorta helped - I actually SLEPT in the BigBed for a few hours!

Down side is the effect last about 12 hours = sluggish all day.
Took another Beny about an hour ago ... starting to "fade" ... BigBed tyme soon!

Turkey Day?
I've had a couple offers - I asked that we just *skip it* this year -
I just do NOT feel like "socializing" right now!
Between what I suspect is a Hoppsbittle-sourced cold (little stuffed up + koffin)
and my general run-down / no energy condition - I'm happy just *chillin*
with the FurKids and stayin Home!

THANKS again for all the Kind Thoughts, Purrayers, and notes being sent my way!!

I'll check in after the Peerade tomorrow.

{{{Hugs}}} to y'all!!

Happy Thanksgiving Phred to you and yours!! Chilling out sounds like a good idea. I'm a certified insomniac so I feel your pain. Nothing really helps me sleep except for just forgetting that I have a problem and then I usually sleep well about every 4th day. What can we do? I figure we go with the flow and hope for the best. Take it easy and enjoy your day.

**RobiLee** · 11-24-2005, 07:57 AM

Thinking about you today, Phred and wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Please make sure you are resting up and healing. I'm sending out lots of hugs for you and your furbabies.

**momoffuzzyfaces** · 11-24-2005, 08:06 AM

HAPPY THANKSGIVING PHRED!!!

I totally understand wanting to just chill! Enjoy the parade, your furry kids, and the day!

**anna_66** · 11-24-2005, 10:26 AM

Wishing you and the furkids a "Chillin" Thanksgiving

Love Anna
