Prayers for my Yodie, please; She has MRSA; *Update* 1/5; good/bad news; #269

Oh Mary-

I understand completely.

I'm not that busy but I know what you mean. My prays that Yodie feels better soon and that she heals up and leaves her incision alone.

Poor girl. Don't be too hard on yourself either.

Take care,
Melissa

Please don't beat yourself up. You've got so much going on with various kitty illnesses, and that's a lot of stress to be dealing with. Yodie will be OK, and you're certainly not a rotten mother.

I knew you all would say that because I would, too, if the situation were reversed. I didn't purposely leave off her collar; I was just in too much of a hurry to remember. I've cancelled tonight and tomorrow night. Sat. afternoon I must go for a couple of hours because it's my Xmas gift to a colleague and good friend but Yodie should be able to be left alone by then.

I'm just so upset w/myself. If anyone else had done this, heads would've rolled! I went into action mode this morning; I was only focused on getting Yodie in to Dr. Lee. (I was lucky that he was there. He fit me in between surgeries. I didn't get to speak to him but I don't think I really want to. He probably will scold me when I take her back to have the staples removed and I deserve every bit of it.) Then I became angry w/myself for being so stupid and forgetful. Now I just keep bursting into tears. I had to also drive 1 1/2 hours each way to my own dr. b/c I've been dodging a bullet for quite some time now but it appears that I'll probably need another bone graft done on my jaw but my dr. is trying to get me through the holidays. I've had that on my mind, that's no excuse, but I just feel overwhelmed right now.

I always say "people first" but what I mean by that is if you stress yourself or your family by taking in too many pets, if you can't pay your bills b/c you have too many pets, if you argue w/your family constantly about the pets, then you need to get your priorities straight. Well, I don't have any of those situations in my life but I still got my priorities skewed b/c I allowed myself to get stretched w/too many obligations. This is a wake up call for me. I'll never allow my cats to pay the price for my foolishness again.

Mary!! Even we we had permission to take the E collar off Tina, I knew we could not watch her 24/7. She was fairly good about not scratching the affected ear. PLEASE do not beat up yourself....you are a good cat mom....more prayers heading your way.....Sandra

Mary, you're a wonderful cat mom, but perfection is not part of the deal. You're human. Pick yourself up, and Yodie, dust you both off; start again. It's all you can do. Nothing can be accomplished by dwelling on anything. Yodie will benefit from the renewed attention.

Prayers from Pinot's house - and lots of love to help through the Holidays!!

If I ever grow up, I wanna be just like you.

Mary, you're a wonderful cat mom so please don't forget this. I'm so sorry to hear that you feel so overwhelmed right now. I hope that you'll be able to relax soon and take it easy. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are going out to you and all of your furkids. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
