hi everyone,
its been a while since i have been on the site. i have been overwhelmed with life. first, my good friend was diagnosed with cervical cancer. she is unable to have a hysterectomy due to a variety of health reasons. (overweight, diabetic, etc.) she has been getting radiation and is getting chemo. during this time, i found out my adopted dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. i met this man and his wife at the park in 1999 and "adopted" them. we plan to have him walk me down the isle at my wedding on dec 2. ( my real father passed away). he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow at nyu. about 3 weeks ago, my cat alice got sick. she stopped eating and i thought i was going to have to put her down. i know she is going to be 20 in october, but this was just the straw that broke the camels back. i was a mess, and havent cried this much in a very long time. i felt like i was losing everything and everyone important to me. i wanted to postpone the wedding, but richies wife told me that this is what is keeping him strong and gave him a goal to look forward to.
the good news is that alice got fluids and her blood work was normal. her meds were working, so after almost a week of starving herself, i gave up. i decided to forgo her kidney food and i got her what i know she likes. my princess chowed on fancy feast. she was either going to starve herself or eat the wrong foods and die happy. she has since had more blood work and is ok, except for a slight ulcer. now we have added a 1/4 tablet of pepcid to the mix. slowly we are trying to get her back to her food.
i am sorry to chew your ears off, but it seems so easy to listen to others. yet, i felt like i was bothering you all to share my problems. my insides are ripping right now with the surgery tomorrow. he has already had two major bypass surgeries. the fact that he is not my real father doesnt make my love for him any less. i love him just as much.
please pray for him and for my good friend. i will let you know how the surgery goes when i get home in the afternoon. it is going to be a very long day.
thank you all for listening.
