Ziyal's Surgery Update

^ Have I gone blind?

 

[RJDiogenes]

I hate being dependent! I hate how anxious I get when I'm alone for more than a couple hours. I am not by nature a particularly anxious person. "By nature" basically meaning prior to rape/PTSD/cancer. A friend visited this evening while my FFH was out; that helped enormously, but unfortunately it was also a rare luxury.

I'm very independent by nature as well, so I understand how you feel; but it's also good to have people you can depend on when you need them. And you will get your independence back.

I don't know, have you? I can see it. *shrug*


Here's more cuteness for Ziyal.

Cat pictures are healing; thank you. :-)

Good point. Problem is, I don't have enough of those people for the amount of care I need. That's part of what makes me so anxious.

Here's a cute little guy. He kind of understands how you're feeling, not being 100% in shape yet. I'm sure he'd love to work his way into your heart.

(I like how they gave him something a lot softer and more comfortable than a normal cone. )

I hope you like him too. I think his suggestion would be to find one small fun thing to do, that is worth enjoying even when you're still not up to more strenuous things.

BTW--apparently Tetris has some weird, interesting (positive) effects specifically related to PTSD. Normally it applies to people who just experienced a traumatic event. But I know I find games like that very relaxing. (Tetris, Bejeweled, etc.) Whereas I do not find other types of video games relaxing and generally avoid them.

The Tetris effect: it's REEEEAL!

(I've had it with Bejeweled, too.)

I love that pillow cone. I've never seen that before.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Nerys Ghemor, the kitty is adorable. I love that soft collar!

Might check out Bejeweled. I haven't played that (or any other game) in years. Thanks for the suggestion.

I hear you... my best friend's mom just died and workers comp is already trying to cut funding and get her dad tossed into a home- 2 days after her mom's funeral! I'm frankly surprised that it's lasted this long, the nurses here that are supposed to come to your home were incompetent- they wandered in whenever they wanted- if they showed up at all! Bah!! Hope you're able to manage without them soon!

I'm glad you liked that. Not only was he cute--but I thought that was a much kinder and more humane solution than what you usually see, to keeping animals from aggravating their wounds.

Might check out Bejeweled. I haven't played that (or any other game) in years. Thanks for the suggestion.

You're welcome...certainly no promises, of course. Just a thought worth exactly what you paid for it.

This is how curiosity kills the cat.

Kitty has a message for you...

[Nerys Ghemor]

Hey! How have you been? Any news to share with us?

 

[JayOwl]

Sorry about the lack of pics....

 

[Niorah]

Hope she's busy getting back in shape and getting better and stronger every day.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I hope so. We haven't heard from her in a few days.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Thanks for checking in, guys. I had some good stuff going on, and then a setback...

Just got "home" to my FFH's house a couple hours ago after two nights back in the hospital. Had a vicious UTI. Three days of IV antibiotics, to be followed up by five days of oral antibiotics will hopefully do the trick.

God, I hated being back in the hospital!!!!!

 

[RJDiogenes]

We hate knowing that you were back in the hospital, but are happy you're doing better now. Hopefully, there will be no more setbacks, only continuous improvement.
