Update on my back

[Kirsten]

Thanks! I'm trying to keep the faith, for me and my girls, but it's not easy. During the past two years, it seems like everything good in my life has vanished, and things are getting harder and harder. I know I shouldn't say that because I still have my girls - and wonderful people on the internet, like those here on PetTalk, which is for sure a huge support!

I still have some friends left in my real life, but they all have families of their own now, so we're not so close like we used to be, especially since some have moved away. Same goes for my sister btw. And the one friend I considered to be something like my soulmate has betrayed me and spread lies behind my back, which eventually has cost me my job... I'm not over this yet, and I wonder if I ever will be. Something has broken inside of me when that happened... I don't have much faith left in humans, I now prefer my girls' company.

Catnapper, yes, sometimes the unemployment office pays for a new training. At this point, I don't know if this is an option for me. I think I first have to find out if physiotherapy (or whatever the doctors' plans are for my back) will improve my situation, so that I can do an office job again. What worries me is that I'm sure the job in the restaurant will make things worse, but I have no other choice but to do it. That's the worst about the entire situation at the moment.

As a victim of back issues I offer my sympathies...its so hard not to get mad at yourself for not being able to do things...at least for me. Happiness is a state of mind, not of circumstance my hubbster always tells me. It IS hard to put that smile on your face everyday but know that your furkids love you and there are a lot of people on PT that care about you too!!

Kirsten, I hope your doctors will be able to put together a course of treatment for you that will help and that you will not need surgery. I have had family members with back problems, so I know how awful they can be. I hope things start looking up soon for you. Get plenty of kitty cuddles. {{HUGS}}

Thanks, Steffi and Fyrewolf!

DJFyrewolf36, I know exactly what you mean, I'm mad at myself that I'm unable to do many things now, especially the restaurant job when on the other hand medical care is needed for Luna, because she's sick again!

Kirsten, we are all here for you, and so are your special girls! I wish I could do more to help, just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are such a special part of PT, and a great friend to me.
