Mike’s Frustration

Today, Mike was supposed to go to OHSU for an appointment, but he still can’t transfer from his wheelchair to a bed or vice-versus. I cancelled his appointment and I could tell he is frustrated. But this has to be a safe journey or it doesn’t get made. Medical Transport to Portland is horribly expensive and his incision is clean, no drainage looks good according to his new doctor. I saw his face yesterday when Physical Therapy told him there was no way he couldĀ  make the transfer into the truck from the wheelchair. He insisted we try and he set his face in such anger. Everybody left us alone and I talked his anger away. Now, he is just frustrated. I think this will just make him work harder now to gain some independence.

This is my last day with the kittens. I shall miss them all. But tomorrow they get spayed and go off to lovely homes with their new owners who are chomping at the bit to get these babies in their homes. Aurora will take up residence in the bedroom for now as she still doesn’t get along well enough with the group here.

  1. I can only imagine Mike’s frustration, but this may be the end of a long road of suffering for him, so it has to be travelled carefully. He’s been waiting for relief for a long time; a little longer will make it worthwhile.
