Someone’s got to have it…

I was talking to a friend I haven’t seen for ages and started telling her my recent history and illnesses. She asked how I coped and I said “well someone’s got to have these things, if I do then I’m taking on something so someone else doesn’t have to”. And I realised that’s exactly how I feel!

I don’t feel crushed or annoyed. I don’t feel too hard done by. I just think “OK, so let me just deal with it”, take the medication. So what if I rattle as long as I can keep going.

Don’t get me wrong, I am really fed up at the moment. The world is flummoxing  me. It’s crazy, and selfish, and cruel. We can’t escape the creators of the chaos. But I will accept my life for now.

Headache

My heads been aching all day….

I don’t normally get headaches. I have a pain behind my eyes, a thudding. I hope it goes soon. I think its caused by tension. I also ache, I hope it’s not some sort of bug. I’ve had a buzzing in my ears for a few days, maybe I need my ears syringing?

I’ve had some tablets, I hope they kick in soon. It feels scary. But it will pass. I’ll see how I feel in a bit x

Pharmacy blues

Something is going wrong at the pharmacy I get my medication from. Last week there was a sign saying they were short staffed and that they were installing a new computer system. All the staff were different so I couldn’t really ask what was happening. I ordered my medication on Thursday and was told it would be ready for Tuesday. I went down today as I’d got soaked yesterday. The usual assistant was back, but she only had one set of tablets for me. She said come back in an hour for the rest. I gave them a bit longer and went back after a couple of hours. Unfortunately two lots of tablets were still missing. Could I go back tomorrow at 1?

I wouldn’t mind but about five other people were complaining of having to return for missing medication. I wished the assistant a quieter time and that things would get better!

Medicating the cat

What are you doing this evening?

Waiting to give my cat his medicine… My cat has had an abscess, probably swiped by another cat. He’s got antibiotic tablets, but he won’t take them crushed up with food. They are big and I have to quarter them then crush each bit up and give them to him twice a day.

I need my hubbys help. We wrap him up in a towel then I’ve dissolved the tablet in a bit of water and I’ve got a small pet syringe, so we have to use that to squirt the medication in his mouth. The trouble is I have to wear gloves as I’m allergic to the medicine. So it’s a bit of a fight. I’ve got a bite to my finger, but I can’t blame the cat for being scared.

We managed to give him his tablet this morning and now this evening, He’s not impressed, only another six days to go! He’s getting a nice treat afterwards. That seems to help a bit. He needs to take the full course.

Kitten

One of my cats kittens from three years ago, popped up on my Facebook page a few weeks ago. She was rehomed with her sister and they are grown up and happy. We are thinking about taking in another adult stray cat, but he needs checking over at the vets, and my male cat is going to the vets for treatment in the morning. Life is complicated. Then if my cat is OK I need to find out about treatment, tablets, worst case scenario.

Oh dear.
