Am Not Coping

Haha too cute Tobes supervising.

Is he going back to vet for his tooth removal @Zoe .

Luckily I can do most things with both hands @Anastasia so cutting the branches with my left hand.👍

I am being careful with my right - keeping it covered and only using it to guide the branches away from the saw so not using any pressure or holding anything. 👍

Cat doesn't like noise so is happy inside. She runs when I bring out the vacuum cleaner - doesn't even need to be turned on lol She is such a beautiful little girl - certainly a mummy's girl 😺 Tobes on the other hand would go to anyone, play with anyone and want attention from anyone but when it comes down to it he is also a mummy's boy. He does love my sister though and will happily sit with her ...she said he was wandering a bit whilst I was in hospital but for the most time he snuggled up with her. No doubt he wondered where I was but was in good hands with my sister.

Tomorrow is my GP appointment and Friday is the dentist. Not looking forward to either. I know we have more tests to do and a lot to find out when I see my GP. The anaesthetist told me the short version of what happened in the op but I was still pretty out of it so she said she would send everything to my GP and I can talk to her. I will of course be worrying about Tobes all day tomorrow but I have faith in his vet so know he is in great hands.

Yes vet tomorrow for Tobes @Anastasia Poor little sweetheart will no doubt be really sore for a few days. I am really hoping they do not have to take it out but the vet thinks it is more likely than not and I would rather it out now than continuing to get worse and cause issues futrther down the track for him.

Gosh @Zoe7

A busy and expensive week!

You are clever, my left hand is merely a decoration 🙂 🙂

My fur baby is Buddy and he is the same as Cat when it comes to noise although he's like Tobes when it comes to giving and receiving attention 🙂

How is your sister? Do you get to spend a lot of time together?

I will be thinking of you at your appointments, I am with you there I do not like the dentist AT ALL! I hope that your GP can provide you with some answers in realtion to what happened whilst under anasthetic 😞 Fingers crossed for you Zoe xox

My sister is up and down. I spoke to her yesterday and she was okay but has packed up all her baby's things and put them away (or thrown out) as she cannot look at anything to do with him. Luckily she has her other baby (dog) and is getting lots of cuddles. She has taken some time off also and they have moved a tree to plant where they buried him. They loved that litte fella so much and it is going to be hard for both her and her partner for a long time.

I don't spend much time with my sister these days. They moved earlier in the year. They used to live 5 minutes away so I would drop in often or she would come to my place - now it is a much longer drive and needs to be planned. She is now closer to my parents' though and spends more time with them and the horses so that is good for her ...I miss her being so close though.

I'm glad she's doing ok,

It will take time ☹️

Shame she has moved further away, it's so lovely that you have a good relationship with her. Something to treasure.

Tobes is a trooper let's hope the distraction doesn't cause him too much discomfort.

Love to you all x

Yeah Tobes is a trooper @Anastasia I am glad I am off this week though. If I was at work I would be worrying about him and dsitracted so this way I can pick him up as soon as he is ready and he won't have to wait at the vets until I finish work. It is his very back tooth and so quite a big one so the little fella will no doubt feel it afterwards. He most likely won't be able to eat his biscuits for a few days so I am going to buy him some roast chicken - Cat can have some too so she should also be happy.

My sister and I have had an up and down relationship over the years. There was a time we were very close but that changed when she moved up North for work. We kind of got that back when she moved back South but since she has been in this relationship it has become harder again. We were just starting to become closer once more when they moved. We have never had a relaltionship where I could talk to her about anything though - but she unloads on me all the time - that is frustrating but it is what it is.

I am glad you are off this week too rather than worrying about him whilst trying to work. They are very loved, I think they will love their roast chicken for dinner 🙂

Shame it is a one way street with your sister, I am sorry to hear that. It's funny I only have a brother, we aren't particularly close so I always longed for a sister to be close to. It just reinforces that even had I had a sister it does not guarantee a closeness.

Hope your gardening is going well...I am so unmotivated now, kinda lost my mojo for the rest of the day, nearly 5pm 🙂

@Zoe7

I have stacked most of the branches on the trailer @Anastasia Have a few more to cut up so they fit on but can't do that now until the saw is charged. I will wait now until after I feed the babies at 5pm then there should be enough charge to finish for today. Then I will have a shower, do the grocery shopping and go to the chemist. When I come home I will give Toby a bath. Tomorrow then it is just Tobes at the vet and GP visit in the morning. In the afternoon I am going to the school I was at last year to meet up with a friend. I have missed her terribly but we have not been able to connect in person because of covid and our respective after school meeting schedules - so whilst I have the opportunity I am going to take it. My pdoc is very concerned that I have lost touch with some people but it really has been difficult. The one person I would have talked to the most is gone and I have shut myself off from others a lot since then - that feeling of loss and pain both together is just too much at times.

@Anastasia All tree branches now cut down. Need to stack them all on the trailer and rake the grass then it is all done for now. The rest can be done another day.

Fur babies fed also so relaxing for a little while then I will finish stacking the trailer, tie it all down, put the tools away and have a shower before heading out to do the shopping etc. While I am on a roll I will keep going and maybe I will be exhausted enough to sleep early tonight.

Will catch up with you later
