I had to be rushed to the Er today. My B/P was off the charts and after speaking with me at length, my doctor informs me I am stressed! No really? LOL He was appalled at what was going on with Mike and he said for me to take it easy for awhile. Not sure how that is going to work out. But those were his instructions. I felt so funny and the only way I could describe it was when someone who is playing around, throws you in a pool of water and then holds you under a bit to long? I felt heavy and numb and was having problems catching my breath.
I am now on two drugs both are supposed to take the edge off. One, I take two of when I feel an anxiety attack coming (which is what the doctor said I had earlier today) The other, I take 1/2 tab for 6 days then one tab a day afterwards.
My kitties are supposed to keep my blood pressure down! I had a long talk with them this evening.
I wanted to say thank you once again for those who contributed to the last fees of the IRS regarding CATS Inc., I am $40.00 short still, but that is so much better than being $100.00 short that I was before. I’d get mad about their new fee increase, but it would do me no good. They have be over a barrel (as my dad would say.)
McKenzie is now in a new home and the woman just loves her so much! I also put McKenna into another home temporarily. I had to get her out of the room where her kittens were born (and passed). She was going crazy looking for them and I knew if I could just get her away from their smell, she would settle down, and she has. She is a in a very large dog crate at a riding stable nearby. She will get spayed on Friday and then be released on the 15 acres in a few days time after the spay and join the other animals at this riding and rescue facility.
. . . my doctor informs me I am stressed
d’oh!
Hey, Doc. What was your first clue?
Glad to hear McKenzie has a noo home with a bean of her own. Purrrrrrring that McKenna handles her V*T visit and recovers quickly.
Sending gentle headbuttttss to you.
We agree – duh doc!!! We agree those kitties need to be helping out a little more with the stress reduction. sigh….. We are glad to hear about McKenna – we hope she has fun at her new home. Please take care of yourself…..
Smacking my head. Been wondering how you were..well gee..checking your blog lets me find out . Wow. So glad you got this checked out, high bp is nothing to fiddle with, as I know from personal experience.
I do prescribe a quiet 5 minute sit with a purring kitty in your lap..carve that 5 minutes out for yourself, put on your most favorite music to listen do while doing chores, have a travel mug of a favorite tea…you can only push your body just so far…grab what you can to help relax you while doing what you need to do. Hugs.
Please take care of yourself Mary Anne. No wonder you are stressed with
all you have dealt with in recent months.
Glad you were able to place the two kitties. -2 & add 1, not to bad. lol
Hugs to you & chin scritches to your kitties.
