Recovery

Hi Everyone,

I’ve missed blogging on here. Got hit with a bad bug that took me out for about 2 weeks. Recovery came about the 9th day when I was finally able to keep water/Pediaylyte etc down. Looking back, probably a lot had to do with stress, lack of sleep and just not taking proper care of myself since Mike died. But I made it and other than getting fluids IV I did manage to stay out of the hospital.

Through it all, the cats kept me company, especially Pigeon. He is also on the road to mending FINALLY and doesn’t look like Franken-Kitty much at all anymore. Here is where he is today:

He and his brother are still at war with each other. Even though I made the re-introductions slow, they still have their moments where they are out for blood. But Pigeon’s smell has changed tremendously for PITA to accept him 24/7.it’s slow-going and hopefully in a few weeks, they will be back to best buds again.

Like most of America, we are dealing with severe and out-of-the-ordinary weather. 3 of our 5 acres are now flooded, and Little Creek, well it isn’t little anymore. We have another week of virtually non-stop rain and yesterday water came pouring into the bedroom- sigh… I moved the bed and dresser out of the way and set up buckets. Now I just have to find someone who can help me out. Pulling down the ceiling tile, I see dry-rot up there, so I know that the insurance company is going to tell me to go and pound sand when it comes to coverage.

Above the bedroom is the attic so I need to go up there today and see just where the leak is located. I hate going in the attic, but at least now it is emptied out. So that’s pretty much why I haven’t been around- and despite being so sick, I still did manage to feed and care for the cats. With the water getting so close to one of the enclosures, I just let the cats out and hoped for the best. Everyone is here and accounted for,

  1. Here’s hoping your insurance co. does the right thing! Glad you are better; whatever it is that everyone is getting, it’s a true 2-week bug.

  2. As usual with you, Mary Anne, it’s one thing after another. You really deserve a break. At least you stayed out of hospital, thanks to your own will-power, I believe.
