I’ve given my anger to God. Anger is not a good emotion to sit in for very long. I believe the reason I raged at Mike the other day IS because I care so very much about him. it was the first fight we have had in 30 years of marriage. I am glad the neighbors didn’t call the cops because I was out-of-control. 🙁 Not proud of it- but that’s what happened. I can’t even imagine why he doesn’t care that much about himself (or so it seemed to me)> Then I did some research and found out that Diabetes eats the white matter of the brain which controls cognitive thinking. The experts say that elderly people with Type 2 Diabetes also have 87% chance of contracting Altzheimers. 🙁
So I have calmed down and will deal with the tasks at hand currently on my plate. Cooper’s surgery (going on right now PLEASE PRAY for vet and dog) Copper won’t be home until Tuesday or Weds depending on how it goes.and coming up with the funds to have Brother’s kneecap fixed so he can enjoy a normal life as a cat. Hand’s down, Brother is the sweetest kitten I have ever encountered. All he wants me to do is rub his belly endlessly and unlike some cats who go into attack mode if you belly rub too long- he just wants more and more and more. he deserves a chance to be able to walk across his cage without falling down because his knee is so shattered. I hope someone out there answers his call for help- and on this end, locally, I am doing all I can to raise awareness that this kitty needs surgery.
Everything will get better from here on. Mike is being taken care of. Cooper will have his bones set and Brother will walk without pain. Just as importantly, you are in a better place to deal with all of it – though no one could blame you for losing your temper at Mike, or at anything else, really. There is much going on. But it will all improve now; slowly perhaps, but definitely.
I wish I was in a position to help you, all I have to offer you at this time is prayer and of course I will send many your way
I think I might have found his owner! And Sue, as for prayers- God Bless Em and send them on!
Cooper is out of surgery. My vet said it will be about 6-8 months before he will try to use his leg and even touch a toe to the floor. He is on Morphine and will be home tomorrow hopefully
