I'm feeling very unwell since..

I can't add much to what has already been said @Rose65, other than to say I know what it's like to lose a pet. When we euthanized our cat, Toby, I was in a funk for a long time. Weird, but there were even songs I could no longer listen to. We swore we couldn't think about another cat but we adopted Bugsy 6 months later. He has been a tremendous companion to Andy, just like Toby was, and has lifted our spirits immensely. He was already 6 years old when we adopted him but he constantly keeps us entertained.

You are in my thoughts at this difficult time. đź«‚

this is the only problem to me with regard adopting an older dog, is the high cost of the Vet fees.... as they age...

My daughter at the moment and also in the past with her elder dog is paying out fortunes for medication for her 15 year old chihuaha every month..not to mention the 2 dogs ( she has a puppy as well now ).. regular visits to the vet for teeth cleaning and claw clipping etc...

I'd jump at the chance of adopting an older dog, but I just wouldn't be able to afford the Vet fees...

If you foster a pet I believe the vet bills are taken care of.

Our dog died.
My husband and I had her put to sleep as severe illness had set in and we couldn't let her suffer.

Since then, about a month ago, my already fragile health has deteriorated. My blood pressure rose so high I had to go to hospital. Now my well controlled vertigo has come back along with tinnitus.

I am seeking and getting proper medical attention but, what else can I do? I am just so low.

I have a fuzzy pillow and a velvet pillow. Sometimes hugging one of those helps just a little.
 
My GP, on a telephone appointment a few days ago, ordered an ambulance as my BP had gone very dangerously high and I was dizzy. I couldn't walk properly.
We waited 12 hours, chased it up, it did not come and it was now almost midnight. So we cancelled it and went to bed. I thought if I have a stroke or heart attack, at least I shall be safe in my own bed.
This is now the NHS.

Jeez!! I feel like that a lot, even at getting important appointments 3 months away! I am so sorry, the world is such a mess these days I just try to survive each hour. :)

I had that happen with Uber but not with an ambulance. That is really unacceptable.
 
Rose I am just now reading your post and want to say how very
sorry I am for your loss. Our pets carry our hearts forever. And
it deeply hurts when we must say goodbye. I am thinking of you
and keeping you in my thoughts. Take extra good care dear Rose.

That's very sad, all that has been happening to you.
Thank you for letting us know how you are doing, even though we wish it was better for you.
