pudgie
 

she seems a lot better. she is sitting on her usual spot, the printer. before she was showing interest in the laster. I don't want to cancel the appt for tomorrow. My stomach is still upset. I don't know if i will go to the senior center. last night i had the ac on. I don't know if cecilia is upset with me. she said why not go to the p,t. four times a week since you mostly lie in bed. I told her she had no compassion. she on the other had pushes herself so much

It is good to hear that Pudge is doing o.k.

Cecilia may just want what she thinks is best for you vs. being mad at you. It may be more of frustration and a lack of understanding on her part, rather than a lack of compassion. I'm sorry that you feel like there's a rift between you :hug::hug::hug:

I still think 4 days a week of PT is asking too much of you, especially with the fatigue you're experiencing since the stroke.

I'm glad that Pudge seems to be doing better :hug::hug::hug:

I really find it interesting that they are suggesting 4 times a week of
PT. I know that when I went the therapist would not even do two
days in a row.

Unless I was in the inpatient center.

bizi suggested o.t and i would also need p.t. so that is where the four times a week came from

Bobby
Many outpatient centers schedule OT and PT back to back. You might
check on that.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

thatwould be way too tiring

the only place i went to only about 15 minutes at most was spent on my hands.ten minutes was spent each on different bicycles also using hands and then laying down and lifting legs with weights. I got up to two pounds thirty times on each leg plus more. then there was balancing where he tried to have me lose my balance by my standing up and closing my eyes and his pushing me. i still have trobble dialing the phone.

What ever therapy / exercise that you can get is better than none.
I would encourage you to go for it.

glad pudge is better.

If you go to a new center, you will need a new prescription for the therapy, and can ask the doctor to write it for your legs and hands. If you go back to the same place, the doctor can send an additional script there. You will be evaluated/reevaluated, and they will come up with a new plan. If the facility doesn't offer OT, and they think you need it, they can refer you out.

Being seen for two different problems doesn't mean going to therapy four times a week.

i just spent 300 dollars on pudge and had blood tests. will call tomorrow for results

still haven't seen her eat and he gave her an eating stimulant but she is on the printer and not under the table. I feel relieved that i took her but wonder if it just a case of abbitis. I still feel rotten.

sorry you feel rotten bobby.
(((((HUGS)))))
bizi:hug:

i am really scared. pudge still isn't eating. I put out new food for them. I don't know how long the appetite stimulate takes

she ate the appetite stimulant ok?
How old is pudge? How much does she weigh? Has she lost weight?
((((HUGS))))
bizi

not really. it looked like she started to eat then stopped. she is about fine. I have her papers somewhere.she lost almost 1 1/2 and now weight 8 1/4. she was ijected with the stimulannt.

the vet isn;t coming back til three

The vet comes to you?
wow!
bizi

of course not. he as such a busy practice

sorry what was I thinking.
We used to have a vet make house calls 15 years ago until he built an office and well established by then. It was great because our cats hated riding in the car.
bizi:o

stillnoting-really scared=made appt with heart doctor and pt

the blood test came out okay so toorrow sshe will have xrays

i can't sleep. I am feeling so much pain over Pudge

I'm sorry you are so sick with worry right now, Bobby. I hope everything is okay :hug::hug::hug:

i don't think so. she is still not eating or drinking.

she drank a little water and ate a little just a little. I keep on forgetting to think of God. I feel bad. I had a chance to see the regular vet late in the day but i was too tired so I am seeing another vet. the regular vet is awesome so i feel so much guilt.

i am going to the vet sshortly. iam so scared

What happened at the vets?
bizi

spent 700 dollars...nothing

I am sorry....
I wish they could figure out what is going on with her.
Does she play?
bizi

she sleeps

I am sorry.
((((HUGS))))
bizi
how old is she? I forget.

about nine

My cats sleep most of the day with occasional appearances lasting varying times. I think Rocky's 11, Buddy is 10, and Dottie is 9. I see them eat, but never see them use the litter boxes, but I don't have a studio apartment like you.

I'm so sorry that you spent all that money, and got nothing out of the visit.

Did the run any tests?
What did the vet say to you?

i asked him if he thought it was because of abby and he didn't think so. he didn;t come up with any answers. He did a blood test that ruled out a lot of things such as liver.n I now thinjk it is becaaaause of abby and her aggressiveness or playfulness

I am feeling so much pain. I am binging so much I am now afraid to get on the scale. I hardly see her eat. the vet is calling tonite about the urinalysis. abby is staying away from her and isn't acting playful

What did the vet think about Pudge's general condition when he saw her, and how was her weight?

I think if the urinalysis comes back okay, you should try the best you can to stop fixating on Pudge's eating and pooping. I know that seems like an impossible thing to do right now though... :hug::hug::hug:

You may be able to start doing it if you can find a way to distract yourself (such as reading). It may be helpful to see your pdoc about your anxiety because it seems like it's pretty high right now and making life difficult and uncomfortable for you :hug::hug::hug:

he hasn't found anything wrong. he says to bring her in i another month and weigh her and see if she has lost weight.if so he will run another test. I am terrified aabout money. yesterday maricia was over and together we saw her eat six times! small amounts but it was still six times. today she was on my bed. I can only liken her to your husband. that is how important she is to me. I don't have a family. Yesterday I started thinking she was getting better. I got on the scale and it wasn't that bad I am so tired. I think the stroke took a lot out of me.. when I see the pdoc I will ask for help. this is no life. my bipolar is so bad.

I am sorry it is so hard on you bobby.
I wish your anxiety was better and less of a burden to bear.
