How Are You Feeling Now?, 🤔,😀🥺

Judycat said:
I had to have another cat put down yesterday so I am feeling sad. It seems throughout the last 10 years all I've been doing is dealing with the death of those close to me and it is taking its toll. I am now down to two cats and one of them isn't doing well. I'll deal with it though, as always.

I'm sorry for your loss Judy. Grief is such a hard time to get through.

In a darker place. General sadness. Have an eye appointment tomorrow because honestly, my right eye is giving up. But it's not that, just a gloomy outlook that would need a very long post to explain. Sometimes life is a slog, isn't it? I mean, every damn hour feels like you need to smash through a wall. If I think too much, I got worse.

So music is playing right now. Some orchestral stuff, with lots of strings. Not uplifting, but about the tone I feel at.

Sometimes it's alright to stay with the sadness. With time feelings dissipate. Can you imagine how you would like to feel?

Hate to be a drag, but
Awful. Depressed. Sad. Miss Buffy so much. Not because of what she was but who she was. The sweetest best girl ever. Have a lump in my throat and pain in my heart.

Even though I mostly had 4 dogs at a time Cassie was my heart dog. When she died in 2017 I was heartbroken despite having 3 other dogs whom I loved.

I grieved for 3 months and then asked the universe to send me another heart dog and baby max came into my life. All my older dogs are gone and I also adopted Max’s half sister. She has a serious heart condition and I am worried. My advice is to open your heart to another baby that needs you. You will change the world for one sweet kitty.

Thank you for responding. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Some will be revealed then. But I also have a rather large personal issue going on, and I see no end to it. It would take a novel of a post to explain.

Tonight I am sitting in near darkness with music playing, and it's wonderful. But I know, outside of this cocoon, pressing issues need to be addressed. Such is being old.

You know pressing 'like' means I understand. Life is just do downright depressing and hard at times.
I'm sorry.

Back from the doctors. For the most part, it was really good news! I have some blood tests to do, but as of right this moment, I'm in better than I had feared, and by a long way! I'm having more tests, but hey, I feel better knowing I'm Mr. Average (that is, I'm in normal ranges given my age). Phew!

I struggle knowing that I have fewer years ahead of my than I do in the rear view mirror. That and another, personal issue (which means non-medical) that seems to have no resolution. But we soldier on because - what else is there to do?

Thanks again.

Although I am going through a painful illness with possible bad effects I’m facing, I keep a positive attitude. I know somewhere out there is someone out there that can help me and when I find him or her, I will be there.

Just saw your message. I'm sorry you're going through that. Having an upbeat attitude helps. I wish you well.
 
Happy. My cast is off my wrist. Sitches have been removed.
I have a removeable splint. Doc says all looks great, come back Aug 15th.
He asked me if I needed more pain medication. Really? Never used the first batch. Well only because the emergency room gave me 10 pills and that's all I needed for the entire ordeal.
I'm moving my wrist pretty well. Doubt I'll need PT. Never needed it with my broken elbow either.
I also feel grateful.
Good doctor!

My back is really bad. I'm in pain all the time, painkillers every few hours.
Pulled muscle.

I'm so sorry Rose! I wish I could help.
I didn't read this before I posted.
Every situation is different. I'm always grateful because I know that next it could be me. I'm just sorry this time it's you and others going through real pain.

You did really well! A lot better than I did. When I started PT, I couldn't touch my thumb to my index finger! More pain, too. I did have hardware installed, did you?

I'm glad you're recovering so quickly.

Yes. I have a plate in there. Looks good. My elbow has always looked a little bit weird but it was a bigger break.
We all need to be careful!
 
Tonight I am feeling very content and grateful. Me and doggie took our longest walk this year. My hip didn't hurt for a change. It was so nice outside and it was one of those days where everything went well.

I've been longing for an evening like this to take a long walk. We both got some much needed exercise. I need to walk or exercise somehow every day because of diabetes and also for my other ailments. It's so good for the spirit too. I looked at the moon and all the greenery and it was invigorating and refreshing.

That’s great Ruthanne! I try to walk my dogs daily which either means early or at 8 pm. I am lucky that we usually cool off in the evening.

I like to walk my dog either very early or in the evening, too. Often, I'm not up real early. That's just lately. So evening walks are really nice. I like to go out as the sun in setting. We had such a nice walk tonight. I know my doggie is happy with me today!
 
Feeling strange. I'm going to take doggie out early but there are warnings about Canadian wildfire smoke again. I worry amount the dog being effected by it so it won't be a long walk today.

I'm feeling curious. I'm wondering what everyone is feeling today and how they are doing. I'm fine btw.

I'm glad to hear you're fine, Ruthie. :) I had a pretty good day despite running around a bit in the heat doing a few errands. Later, I made myself a Moscow Mule, put my feet up, and wished someone else would cook me dinner. 😁 Fat chance of that! All in all, I'm AOK. Thanks for asking! 🤗

It's nice you had a good day. That Moscow Mule sounds good! Wouldn't it be great if someone would cook for us all the time?😀
