Will go to hospital for a long time (update #46)

Kirsten, I think the break and rest will do you so much good! You will feel so rested and full of energy when you get back to your girls! I know it's hard to think of leaving them right now, but they will be fine!

HUGS,
Kim

Here is hoping the rest does you a world of good. I'll miss you and your gorgeous pictures (you must tell Luna and Lilly to post for you )

*HUGS!!!*

Your girls want their Meowmie to feel better, like we all do. Look forward to having you "home" again soon.

Take care

Thank you all very much for your replies, your encouragement means a lot to me! I'm sorry I did not reply sooner but I was having problems with my computer the last couple of days. Very annoying.

I still don't know the details. The clinic I wanted to go to (in the Black Forest in the South of Germany) has a waiting list of 4 months, which is way too long. but it would have been great because two friends of mine and also my sister are living nearby, so it would have been a great opportunity to spend some time with them. But with such a long time to wait, it's no longer an option.

There's also a clinic very close to where I live, and I could even go home at the weekends, which would be great because I could see my girls, but on the other hand, I fear it wouldn't give me the distance I need. It's really hard to tell what's better, going to a nearby clinic or to one that's far away. I fear I will miss my girls so much that I'm getting really homesick.

The more days are passing, the harder it is for me to imagine to be without my girls. Even now they are very attached to me, and they are so cute... I don't want to leave them but I feel so burnt out... It's really hard!

I will give you an adress as soon as I know where I'm going, I will send it to Karen, as she suggested. And Tenna (Uniqueviking) will keep you updated, also on Luna and Lily. I will probably have internet access too (most clinics/hospital have it), but you have to pay for using it, so I will probably just check my emails every couple of days).

Will tell you more as soon as I get any news.

Are there only two clinics available, Kirsten? It would be great if you could get in to the Black Forest one earlier...but I guess your doctor could only move you up the list if is was a real emergency. I don't know how that works.

If you went to the one closer to you, would you have the discipline to NOT go home on weekends? You could ask your doctor to specify no weekend release! Or is the clinic just too close anyway?

{{{{hugs}}}}

There are many more clinics than these two, my doctor wanted to call today and tell me about some more, but she didn't. We'll probably discuss that on Monday now.

I think when I'm in one close to my home, I would go home at the weekends (it's what people usually do as there are no treatments at the weekends).

And btw, the 4 months waiting list is actually for emergency cases.

Well, I guess I'll wait and see what my doctor has to offer. I would actually prefer one with a holistic treatment but I'm not sure if my health insurance would cover that up...
