Fuzzy's Romp Room

dogeyed

WREN, long, long time ago, our family had to give up a little dog to a lady who had a farm, so we knew our dog would be okay, and it was all over allergy, too.  I once had allergy to a couple rabbits we had.  Anyhow, when that dog rode off with the lady to the farm in her car, our dog was wimpering, howling, yelping, crying, and barking his poor little head off.  It really is true, a lost or missing or moved dog is just as distraght as we are, and it's perfectly normal to be affected for it for an extremely long time.  I still cry, altho not so much that dog as i was a little child, but as I got older, I STILL cry over some of them that are gone now.

Our three major shelters (there are a lot of other smaller ones) are basically no-kill, so at least tht sorrow isn't on to of the whole thing.  Perhaps to help your cat get adopted, a writer for either a dog group(s) or the regular town paper, would be willing to use the angle of long cats are beginning to live as a norm now, 20 years.  Mine died about ten years ago, and she lived her entire life (shortly afer birth, a few weeks0 until she was 20 years old. Believe it or not, regular teeth brushing would have prevented her kidney failure.  I'm so sorry you were in this impossible situation.  MOVE OUT OF WHERE YOU ARE!!!  SMILE.

MISS FUZZY, is there anything we can send you or help you with, use he private message thing here, it's in the row of dashboard, privae messages, and so forth, on this very page. and to find anyone's PM name, just click on the linked name that says who wrote these posts here, and it'll guide you to send a message.  Fuzz, I know you use various ways of contact, I think I have the mall, except the last post a name or two were mentioned and ai have no clue.

FUZZY, why is it when we are the most vulnerable, that practically the worst possible thing can hapen?  Maybe it's becuz we do inded run into all sorts of BS every year practically of our lives; it's just a lot harder to deal with when we've been quite sick and it has run us down in every way, and it's HARD to get over the whole dang thing.  I don't know.  But I wantyou to know that I envsion you in a brand new soft, soft beautiful (stunning) flannel nightgown, lightweight to the knees, in blue perhaps orwhatever your fav colors are or the pant PJ style, and just gettting out of a long, relaxing tribal music bubble soakie in he tub, and you curl up with a little TV running, you and hubby and other visitors watching a fanstastic movie. 

I can make that come true, if you want.  Email me, yuou'll find the old ones in your email junk, or thru the message thing here, phone, etc.  Anyhoooooo, I am DYING to see the "Life of Pi" about the boy from India, I think, in a rather large but still boat situation with a glorious Bengal Tiger who is perfectly capable and appaently interested in ripping his head off!!!!!!    I think it has finally made it to where you call up and get 24 hours of that movie showingon several channels.

We are all very sad about what happened to your Mom, it's sort of hard to pull it all back together as something normal again, especially parent and child, but it CAN straighten up by conjuring up happy and funny memories of your Mom that you will SO miss. i happen to have an old tape recording of my grandparents talking in the living room, I was in the next room, and i absolutel y totally forgot how grandaddy's voice sounded as they talked about whether to cut on the A/C or not (the window kind).  Amazing how many things we can forget.  But you won't.  You will remember SO MUCH good stuff.  God bless your heart and soul, my owne true sister.  I shall do whatever you need that I am able to do.  Love, Gail

Some Steam Punk eyes for Fuzzy.  Fuzzy, fuzzy, my handsome husband of almost 30 yeasrs just waltzed hru, and for whatever reason I was thinking of him as i finally found you some eyes, I remembered when he and me were in our 30s. He gave me a hand hug.  I send you a hand hug, too, purty girl, some of these folk GOTS to see for at least a few days the one where you're sort of looking up and sideways from your pillow, your black hair, cool white skin, I did love thee since then.  Come on back, Fuzzy, come on back.  I know it's hard, so wait until you are ready.  But I need to know ONE THING ONLY:  Do you wear hats?

Sincereely, yours forever and ever, my owne true siser,Gail

Thank you Dogeyed, much appreciated. It is a graduate college course  in pediatrics (Nurse Practitioner Program).The faculty are trying to be supportive, but they said there are other students who are having trouble and they need to be careful that they follow proper academic protocol. I recalculated my grade,  and it turns out I can still get a B if I ace the rest of my tests. I am meeting with the Disability Office of the college on Monday to see what type of documentation I can get for "reasonable accommodation," via the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I will be requesting extra time to do the tests. There is definately something affecting my cognitive function (do you think it is becasue I was diagnosed with BC 2 months ago, I wonder?). Also have an appt with psychiatry next week to see if medication will help. I have until April 5th to withdraw from the course, so will keep at it and let you all know how I'm doing.

Esther, I hope your pup is okay. My Olivia, whose picture is my avatar, is my best buddy ever. Right now while I am having a rough time she stays within 5 feet of me no matter what I'm doing at home. She sits on the bath mat when I take a shower! I hope your pup is doing okay.                  

Veggy, Dunes, Wren and everyone else, you are just too precious for words.

(((((((Hugs)))))))

They didn't tell me my diagnosis. They certainly didn't listen to anything about the breast cancer. The only thing they were interested in was the xanax I had been taking. It's not a good place to go, but I did manage to stop the suicidal thoughts. It really was not a good place to go. Really. We should all vow to take good care of ourselves so that we don't break. I was too worried about money to get the help I needed before it all spiraled out of control. I can't afford a lot of treatments, but I will be going for some acupuncture treatments. I will also go back to the naturopath so he can go over my supplements and medications again. I'm also going to look up shamans who might be in the area. I know that sounds weird, but I want to try it if I can afford it.

Glad to have you back Dunes.  Sounds like Peaches was very happy to see you!

Wren pets are part of our families and as such there is nothing wrong with grieving for them.  With time, you will be ok with your decision.

Quiz this morning - what kind of blossoms and how many critters do you see in the picture?

And one to make up for the weekend

kathindc

Ok Gma, I'm going out on a "limb" here and say cherry blossom and two critters - snail and bee.  Oh, how I love your pictures.

SHELLSHINE, love talking at ya, but this one is short.  As long as midterm is standardized, you can take the dang thing anywhere, anytime.   I wouldn't throw out ANY course until it was all dead and done.  DO YOU FEEL INSANE?  Hell no.  Did you just get your boob tore off?  Hell yes.  Your surgeon should give you one bottle of oxycodone, easy to stop when you run out, I don't care wht ANYONE says, and function is normal,naps off the charts.  But pain is our great distractor.  Keep studying, leariinng, you already know it all anywhoo.  Ease up pressure on yourself by watching "The Hospital" again with George C. Scott, and YOU are the teacher.

But gotta tell you thiis story, same thing.  Whole life's career writing & editing.  Bad back gets worse as I age, so I decide to try Nursing Assistant, no particular reason, just wanted to help others.  Reading test score says I am at 11th grade, destroyed me. Didn't matter I got HS diploma, university B.A degree, grad work writ&edit, and, like you, spent 20+ yrs on newspapers, editor of one of my papers, my own column, graphic layout skills, photography, etc..  So, you just got one question to choose to ask all these experts: Hang in or are you intrinsically wrong to work now and forever?  And YES, while once in a while a young lady on here takes helicopter lessons in the Sahara and joins Seal Team Six & helps kill Bin Laden, takes just a flesh wound, to wit: no foot now, all the RESTof US are whining, not adjusting, literally on an unattended roller coaster, and thus pretty much ready to strangle anyone who gets the eff in our way.  SMILE.  Am saving that work for when I can stay unconfused for about three or four hours straight. 

DUNES, DUNES, tooooooooo adorable, little budgie call you sweetheart.  He was WORRIED out of his regularity.  Me too.  I also went to the psych lockup, had an emergency escape route, wish I'd taken it first day, but the meds I got are MUCH better than b4, with nmore adjusts next month d/MY OWN FRIKKIN Psych Doc gonna keep an eye on the pills and see how they do.  I kept telling them apparently desperate-for-donations-for-hospital looney tunes to sign me out on MY DOC'S recognizance, etc.  I didn't sue for dumb rolller derby candystripers acidentally ripping out all my tubes, etc., to where my ex-boob has a bump I'll have to pay SOMEONE to fix, I GUESS, but this time, my writing at last will come in handy once again:  LAND OF GOSHEN, GREAT CONFUSION from copies of all doc sttuff & same note to free legal team in town, the head of the Mission ER, the EMT bunch (who nearly re-busted my back), and complain no way to go home at night (never to be seen again...hahaha) or be signned out by own  doc, etc., etc.  Let them bastards sort it out.  Oh, and a copy to the DA in town not on vacation for a few weeks, & copy to forewarn good ward psych who just followed PROTOCOL by leaving me there over weekend until they could "watch me" on a couple more meds changes.... a word never rto be used by me again...  it is now EFFATOL. 

NEW AND OLD TOPIC:  EVERYONE, pleeeeze, do the call up Pay Per View thing and watch either "Life of Pi" (with tiger) or "Aragon" (Iran hostage thing).  Not sure of second name.  On for at least 24 hrs from call, and avail at least next two days, patientce is gone.  Gail

Hi Gail. Why is your patience gone? Are you OK?

Forgot to take my antidepressant yesterday. Very messed up today. Either want to take a nap or run away or both.

dunesleeper

((( Veggy ))) What antidepressant do you take? When I was on the SSRI's I couldn't miss a dose without feeling really weird. I recommend taking a nap over running away -- unless you are running away to Aruba or some such place.

Im on cymbalta. Even if  wanted to run away I don't think I could muster the strength. I have two different emothions going on at the same time. Im sitting here crying (sad) and watching stupid Ellen videos and laughing through the tears. I've calmed down some since I took my pills this morning but I'm still not me.

thefuzzylemon

Hello all....Its been a rough two weeks. Mom passed yesterday morning and I have much to take care of. She did not deserve two weeks of torture. She was a great woman.

On top of this...I have another mammogram scheduled for Wednesday with an ultrasound to follow....fucking shit never fucking ends....

GG. ...more visions please oh Please...

kathindc

Oh Fuzzy, I am so sorry to hear about your mom.  She must have been a strong woman to have stayed on for so long, a real fighter.  She is in my prayers as well as you.  It's not like you don't have enough on your plate with dealing with arrangements but to have to have a mammogram and ultrasound on top of it!  ((((HUGS))))

Fuzzy, I am so sorry for your loss.

((((((Fuzzy)))))! I am so sorry about your mom. You have been a wonderfully loving daughter, and I know you will miss her terribly, and I know you are grateful that her suffering has ended.  I have a very gentle suggestion: do your mammogram next month if possible. I have found that when life is overwhelming, I stop and ditch activities that are not critical to give myself a little breathing room.  Will the mammogram delay make any difference in YOUR care?  If so, get it!  If not, reschedule!

I arrived home from long trip, found that today is just not a good day for me, so I cancelled my housecleaner (was told that in the future I would be charged for this, but not this time) and rescheduled for next week (I have every other week help).  I just couldn't face having someone in my home today - I need to rest, take care of my aches and pains, and besides that, my cat needed a lap to sleep on all day. So I called a time-out, drinking tea, watching cooking shows, catching up on BCO buddies.

Veggy and Dunes, you have both been on my mind and in my prayers as you have had a rough time as well. 

And in keeping this short & sweet, much lovingkindess to all of you today.

Dear Fuzzy _ Sweet ((((HUGS)))) for you.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  You are a great daughter and your mom is proud of you.  Sail thru the mammo/sono and get some rest.  Or better yet put the mammo/sono off till next week if you can.

Alyson

Dearest Fuzzy, great big hugs from this side of the world. Losing your mother is really the hardest thing and you have been wonderful - a real inspiration of devotion and love.

ptdreamers

Fuzzy, Sorry for your loss. I am with the others who suggest rescheduling if possible. You have enough on your plate right now and need the space to breathe. do you have siblings who can help with details regarding Mom?

thefuzzylemon

Oh man I love you all. "Mama Fuzzy" made me LOL. Hugs to everyone. I Really appreciate all of your thoughts, hugs, words, and love. Smooches all around!

I will do that damn mammogram/ultrasound Wednesday or I'd lose my mind wondering. I'm never going to be ready for it but this is one of the tougher weeks to do it for sure. Damn shit anyway.

My mom would thank all of you for being so sweet to me...I've talked with her many times about my sisters.

XOXO
