I just got back from the hospital ER.
My neighbor from across the street, I have spoken of her before, her husband died of pancreatic cancer 1 1/2 years ago....took an over dose and gave the same to her dog.
Her dog lady has severe hip dysplasia and other back problems.
She is having her put down as soon as she gets out of the psych unit.
It is all so sad...she has no one.
She is enraged at her POA friends for calling 911 on her.
I went with her to the er and stayed until they had a room for her....She will have to call me for contact I can't call her.
Poor lady is at the emergency vets clinic, charcoal etc.
very sad....

Oh Bizi, I can only imagine how sad she is, but oh it is so difficult for her alone. But, I hope that they can help her see even a new life, alone is better then no life. Too many days to feel the warm sun on our face, puppies to fallin love with, I will pray for her and Lady.
Huge Hugs to you Beth, I am sorry for this to happen.

Dear Bizi,

"It is all so sad...she has no one."

No Bizi, she has you. You did more for that woman in those awful moments than a lot of family members would. You're a good neighbour and a great person.

She's not yet in a position where she can thank you, so I wanted to do it for her.

Beth, Hockey is right. Your neighbor has you. I will pray for your neighbor. It is sad though.

Dear Beth,

You are a good neighbor.
The hospital will help her.

Take time to do something for yourself.
M.


PS
That is sad about the dog too.

Dear Bizi,

Mari's right about the dog. Losing her ailing canine friend is going to make things a lot worse for your neighbour. Clearly, this poor soul needs some companionship and a reason to live. It might be worth mentioning the Purina Pets for People/Seniors program to the social worker assigned to her case.

Take Care of Yourself

Does she go to a church or anything? Maybe she needs some socialization of some sort, it's hard to be alone...I'm so sorry she was this upset and hopeless that she thought what she was doing was the best thing.

You're a wonderful person Beth for caring like you do.

Leslie has stabilized and is under constaint observation until they transfer her to the unit. I brought her some clothes and things that she will need.
She had a friend there visiting with her and leslie has agreed to go into counseling that she realizes she needs help. Lady the dog is doing fair but will not be put to sleep. a friend of hers is going to stay with lady at her house while leslie is in the hospital.
This has not been a good weekend, I accidently ran over our next door nighbors cat, it was terrible, everybody loved cinnomon....been a heart breaking weekend.

THis sure has been a rough weekend for you. I can relate to how you
feel after hitting the cat. I'm so sorry its been so bad.

I'm glad someone stepped up to take care of Lady the dog too.
That will brighten the neighbors days till she is out of the hospital.
