Reflections of My Life

I kept myself busy working on weatherizing my windows. I got the whole windowsill covered (which is where cold air blows in under it all winter) and 2 of the black out curtains up. It is already warmer in here even though it is not that cold outside yet. I will see during the night, that is when it gets cold.

kat,
Is someone able to visit and take care of Sonny’s pups, they will be lost and confused without him.

His daughter or her sons go there twice a day I think. His family will make sure they are fed, played with and pet. He even talks to them on the phone. Not sure what they think about that. He is missing them terribly. Keeps talking about what they will do when he gets home. His daughter said when she lets them out of the house into the yard they run to her car and sniff all around it looking for him. So when he comes home he said he will hide in the car till she lets them out and see how long it takes them to find him.

Sonny's daughter said he did infact get a pacemaker/defibrillator. She had been told by 2 different people he hadn't but they were wrong.

He mst have a fib as well as needing the pacemaker then. A pacemaker can stop the heart from going too slow, but not from going into a-fib, or just racing too fast.
If Sonny’s heart is just doing this occasionally, then the defibrillator might take care of it. My heart had gotten to the point where it no longer helped to stop the afib, because it just went right back into it again, and was permanently in afib.
Once it was like that and ablations and cardioversions could no longer help, my doctor did an AV node block, which means my pacemaker has total control of my heartbeat permanently.
Even tho part of my heart is still always in afib, the pacemaker somehow overrules it, so the heart beat is whatever the pacemaker tells it. If Sonny gets to the point where he is in afib even with the defibrillator, they might have to do that procedure for him also.
My pacemaker battery is good for 10 years, so that might be part of the reason they were changing out Sonny’s pacemaker, if the battery was getting too old.
 
He was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Seems too soon to me, but what do I know? His daughter took him to her house and that is where he was when I talked to him. He sounded horrible and I could not talk to him too long because he was drugged up and needed to sleep. So it is just a wait and see thing.

Thanks for the update Kat. Glad he was released, must be out of danger, Pain control is the thing now.
 
I have not been able to write or talk about this yet. My heart is broken forever. Last Wednesday, the 15th, my bunny boy died. I have been with many people and pets that died. His was the hardest yet for me. Maybe because he was with me all the time, all day, every day. I prayed for him to die because it was time. He was sleeping all day and not eating. But he fought it. Kicking his feet right at the end. He lived a long life for a bunny, 11 years. I am thankful I had him.

Just very hard to get used to my apartment without him. It is so quiet, not that he made much noise, but I knew he was there. My last pet.

kat,

So sorry for your loss.

You can take great comfort in the fact that you rescued him and gave him a comfortable life for those 11 years. 🫂

Oh Kat, what can I say?
You sure have been through hard times lately.
My heart goes out to you. ❤️
 
I am so sorry to hear you have to give us this sad news. I have noticed that you did not mention him the last few days, and you almost always include Rabbit in some part of your dialogue for the day, plus I knew you had been concerned that you might lose him soon.
As @Kika just mentioned, losing a beloved Furry-Person is just like losing any other person we have loved and shared our life with, and the sorrow is just as deep.
Sending you Love and Hugs as you grieve your loss, dear Katlupe.

Here is a Rabbit Angel for you…….
