Chat and support

Thanks Liz. I saw the nurse last Thursday. She said my throat looked good, no swollen glands, no temp etc. a virus. I know other people have had stuff that’s lasted awhile. It may be the stress finally catching up.

Sandra - I think we all feel guilt. I slept in the guest bedroom for the last few nights because I needed sleep. On his last night I slept in our room & he was in the lounge, as nurse suggested. I was with him when he died but he had a DNR but I couldn’t find it. So the paramedics still did it for a bit. I feel guilt about not staying with him, not finding the DNR paper quicker ( it was behind the drawer I looked in). We all loved our partners & I am sure they knew that too. So let’s try to focus on that.

Love and hugs to all. I managed to fall back asleep this morning after my earlier post.

Was the two month anniversary yesterday…so I was deep in the swamp……today I’m grabbing everyone’s hands and I’m halfway out again! Need Jane to give me another boot up the backside with her sparkly wellies when she is better!

Hi everyone,

Sorry to interrupt, but I’m just letting you know I’ve unlisted this thread. This means it can be seen by people who have already posted on it, but won’t be visible to non-members.

I’ve done this to protect your privacy. Naturally, in threads like this which evolve into chats, people tend to share more personal details about themselves, such as names. This makes it easier for members to be identified, and staying anonymous is the best way to remain safe. By unlisting the thread, you can continue the conversation in a safer way. The thread won’t show up on the homepage for you, but you can access it by your notifications, a direct link, or by bookmarking the thread. Please do have a read of our thread on protecting your privacy on the community.

I hope this makes sense, please do drop me a PM if you have any questions.

Take care,

Hello Lisa,

thank you so much for contacting me when you are trying to get out of the swamp.

That is so very kind and caring.

I am afraid I have not got any sparkly wellies.

Tony definitely has not given up.

He is such a lovely boy with quite a determined streak at times.

He also does not have a voice, so does not meow. I thought that was unusual but years ago a vet told me it is not that uncommon.

Sending a big hug xx

Thanks. I always just click on a post but did as the admin suggested, saved as a bookmark.

Sorry all but in the swamp. I have mouth ulcers as well as my sore throat. I think I am just really rundown.

Feeling sorry for myself.
