No, I don't think the cats are scratching the furniture because they are picking up on any of my stress/negative energy. We have been struggling with this issue for years. They scratched our last couch down to the wood frame. Dottie is the worst. Corey's ready to drown her in the lake. I would like to take her, really all of them, to get soft paws put on, but I can't carry any of them to the groomer's alone, and Corey doesn't like the idea. I don't know if I could get someone to come over here to do it, or how expensive it would be. I will look into it tho because this situation is untenable.

Since the last time I took the mag. citrate, I have been going to the BR on my own most days, which is unbelievable. But it's mostly diarrhea, and I've been having A LOT of abdominal pain. Yesterday when I went to clean the toilet, it looked like there were blood spots stuck all over the toilet bowl. I've been even more fatigued than usual, have been having constant headaches, and been having some shortness of breath, so that may be from anemia. I can never go to the BR without taking extraordinary measures, so I should have known that something was wrong. I don't have a fever. I've been watching that.

I didn't do anything about it yesterday. I've never seen my PCP before, and was afraid if I called his office, they would just tell me to go to the ER. The last thing I want to do is go to the ER. I have a good gastroenterologist, but didn't think about calling him. I think I will do that today tho. He and the NP are very busy, but at least the medical assistants can relay the info and get back to me to tell me what to do- because I obviously have to do something.

Just what I needed...
Seriously, WTF!!!
