Good afternoon everyone,
The last time I talked to you guys, Holden was sneezing, and Frank's appointment for another round of bloodwork was just around the corner. When I took Frank to the vet for bloodwork, my veterinarian gave me an antibiotic shot for Holden. Hours later, my veterinarian called me at work to let me know that Frank's bloodwork results had improved. To this day, Holden continues to feel better.
Yesterday, Hope's stool was loose and had a little bit of blood in it. Frank has had the same issue with loose stool, but without the blood. This morning, my veterinarian suggested that I give everyone the c/d Multicare Urinary Care Stress dry food and not mix it with the Friskies Seafood Sensations dry food this weekend to see if the Friskies is causing the issues.
Frank is getting neutered on Monday. After Monday, all of our five indoor cats will be spayed/neutered.
Things are going well for my cats, but not for my husband. He walked out of his job early Thursday morning. Since I have known him, this seems to be a pattern for him. I am feeling immense pressure right now because I am the only one with a job/career. We are waiting to hear back from a place he applied to, but we may not hear anything until next week.
I lost faith this week, and I even thought of saying "Screw it..."
My friends, I am scared. My sponsor shared with me that she gets scared when she does not have control and does not know what will happen next. That is where I am at today. I know that what I am feeling is normal. I am putting myself out there and trying to be more social online because I need all the support that I can get. I do not want to lose myself in my husband's problems. As my sponsor told me, "That is his sh*t, not yours." I have only shared with my sponsor and with my coworker/friend Carrie, and now you guys, what happened with my husband this week.
I just need to continue to:
-lean on to my H.P. and ask what I need to see
-be me and try to stay positive
-cuddle with my fur babies and be the best cat mom that I can be for them
-reach out to my support circle and not be ashamed
