Good bye my love!!

Tonight 6/14/2010 11:30 PM Sweetpea has lost her battle. She has been so sick for so many months now. Just recently it was decided that we needed to just keep her comfortable. There is suspicions she had cancer that was not showing up on the many test that were done on her.

After a week of her being really ill, not being able to hold anything down, inclusive test, and intolerance to medications to make her comfortable and help get her levels to where they should be, I made the hard decision to allow my best friend in the world go home to God and allow him to make her well again, so she could play without pain.

With Sweetpea being my Service animal for depression this was the hardest decision for me to make. However, her illness, constant pain was not helping me as I worried about her which would cause her to feel worse trying to do what she was suppose to do be a support to me. IT was so unfair of me to ask her to keep fighting. So I did the right thing and my baby is at peace. I have no clue how to put her in the rainbow bridge but I know my baby is there.

She was the best service animal I could ask for. She will be hard to replace. She has been by my side for 11 years. Many which she spent ill fighting her own battles yet was still there for me. Momma loves you baby and already misses you.

Your in God's hands now. No more test. No more pokes, NO more trips the to the vet. You are meeting the wonderful healer of all.

Seems as though I only do good for a bit.....

I did really good for a few days. Last night got ill again. Not sure why but same symptoms. Momma is calling vet again on monday as directed and just keeping an eye on me today. However.... I am hiding from the thunderboomers today!!!!! Don't like them boomers... they just like light up the sky and make all that noise. it is as if the house is shaking to the foundation.....

anyways momma keeping tabs of me and we just taking an easy day today as she tries to make my tummy feel better.

Personality Transplant???

Momma says while I was at the vet they gave me a personality transplant. That I went in being the kitty she always knew and came home a completely different kitty. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't know about that.........

Lets see.....
before......
Ate a little bit
distant and unfriendly
only talked when I wanted something
played when convient

After....
Eating four cups a food a day (i know vet says You need to cut back on what you are giving me now. I will go down to two a day but I was catching up for all them days I didn't eat :) )
pawsitivity friendly, purring, pet me pet me
purring all the time
finding play time in everything

I am not sure I had a transplant. I think it was always there I just didn't feel good. Momma I have always been a fun cat just didn't feel up to being kitty I was old cat!!! remember I am not as old as you all think. I am still young at heart and now that I don't hurt all the time I am being myself.

Doesn't mean you can take me back there. I will still give them a hard way to go. I think jumping on their walls and knocking pictures off the wall is just pawisitivity fun..... I don't do that at home because I enjoy being here. There is no place like HOME. Just glad to be back and I know you will always know when I am not well and fight and fight for me to get care just as you have been doing. Love you momma!!!!! meoww meoww meoww

I AM HOME!!!

I am doing a happy little kitty dance. I got to come home today! I couldn't love on momma enough. She and I laid around for a bit and I just got all the lovings I could absourb. I am home feeling much better.

I have gained some weight. I am eating again. In fact I am eating more today than I have eaten in furrrever. I am just so happy to be feeling better to be home with my momma sitting on the couch. Sitting perched on momma. It is just great to be home and not be soooo sick.

I have some energy. AWWWW Life is purfect!!!

Thanks for all the power of the paws it worked I came home and I am feeling so much better. You made me a believer in the power of the paw.

They still to have keep an eye on me and I still have some nasty meds to take but I am HOME!!!!

Update: from Momma

Sweet Pea is still at the vets. She will be spending another night there. They can not get a urnine sample from her. They have given her more appatite stimulants. They are working hard to get her to give up a urine sample and so far the vet has not gotten what she needed. They said Sweetpea is fighting them rather hard. So they are keeping her another night hoping to get a urine sample.

Hope she gives up the sample so they can get the test run and her feeling better and home soon.

A few days away from home....

well I just aint getting better so I get to go spend a few days in "kitty jail" at the vets office to be watched and get more care. I really don't like going in there but I know they will make me feel better. They want me to go spend a few days there to get more subqfluids and the pain med injections since I can't tolerate the oral metacam. Momma is not happy but she is gonna take me in there in just a few hours when they open because she doesn't want to see me hurt anymore.

I have started to eat a bit. Not always keeping it down but I am eating and trying. I feel really bad momma took all that time today to make chicken broth for me and I just wouldn't eat it. :( didn't want no part of it but she does know I am not one to eat people food.

However, momma is really wondering if somehow she helped me get sick. See I have this love of pringles potato chips. She knew not to give animals chocolate but she never knew about onions or garlic. The potatoe chips I go nuts over are sour cream and onion. UMM YUMMY!! That was such a treat for me but since she learned this in the last two days she said it will be my love I can never have again! But she does wonder if that is what made me start to get sick anyways.
She said she will tell the vet in the morning that I got those about a week to a week and a half ago. ..... it is a bummer but IF i ate enough and that is what made me feel so horrible I wont eat them again and I don't blame my momma.

They have come up with a premilary dx for me Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC). Momma has been reading up on it all day trying to see how she can help me. I feel awful she is so tired trying to help me take care of me and yet I can't even get in her lap much to comfort her becuase I just feel so bad. I about drove her nuts this morning because I was just pacing between the food dish and the litter box crying the whole time.

This evening I did eat a bit of my kibble. I have gone to the litter box so I have been slowing down a bit and have had a good long nap on the couch all curled up. It has been a painful day for both of us since I couldn't keep down my metacam. Vet said my upchucking is not helping my pain. So they want me to visit with them to get me past the worst of this.

I have hardley spent that many nights away from my momma since I have been here in the past 10 years. It is gonna be weird curling up in a cage and not with momma. I so much would rather curl up with her but my vet lady told momma she has done all she can it is now their job to make me better. I feel for momma. She depends on me. She depends on me being here to have me to talk to. I hope she is ok till I get back home. I know first thing she will do is sleep from being exhausted from caring for me. I just hope I can be home soon.

I want to be able to come home and do my job and be there as a support to my momma and not have her so worried about me......

gotta go back.

well the vet just busted my bubble I get to go back tomorrow for more test and treatments....

we gotta try to understand all this but she agrees she wants me to feel better.......

sighs

We is going to school.....

I feel a bit better today. Still not myself but this afternoon I am up and moving and even played for a little bit... slow but steady.

So as we sat here on the computer today momma re-enrolled into school. So i get to sit and study with her again.... I love it when she is in school. I can lay across her books. I can fight with her pen as she tries to write.... Oh yeah and I really love to knock pens off the desk and bat at them till I get them under the um... what they called.... oh yeah the throw rugs!! Hehehehe time to get a good pen, pencil supply under the rugs again....

We get to go shopping for school supplies and I get to roll around in sticky notes.... oh the joys of life and the things that make us feel well....

So momma will be home more often and I get to play like I am an educated cat!

A trip to the vet

Well I had to go back to that vet place today... I had a period last night I couldn't get my legs to work. I couldn't get my hind feet up under me or if I did I didn't walk with steady feet, momma called it staggering, I call it a pain and hard work. Momma sat on the floor with me till she could get me to the vet this morning. She was there when they opened the doors. My momma loves me so much!!PUUUUUUURRRSSSSS Last night the tables were turned and she was comforting me.... hmmmmm this really is a two way relationship.

I didn't fight going in I felt so bad this morning. I am a tortie I have a distemperment that says I am my own person. I went willingly into the car, momma was able to just hand me over to a tech... I never let them strangers hold me without a fight! but there was no fight in me this morning.....

I have had alot of poking and prodding this morning. They still are not sure what is wrong with me but while we are waiting on lab work and I get to be home ..... they mentioned a stroke from a blood clot and that scares momma but she is just waiting for the results before she makes any decisions......she is trying so hard to be brave and not jump to the wrong conclusions.....

I was allowed to come home while we wait for the results. They couldn't find anything wrong with me from a normal exam and they feel I need to be home with my momma while we wait.......... I think that is just superterrific I get to be with momma and let her love on me while we wait...............I am not allowed on the furniture or to run and play (which I really don't feel like doing anyways) Momma says we are going to sleep on the living room floor the next few nights till we know I am ok again and wont have another episode or they find out what is causing me to act so funny....

So I get we get to have a slumber party the next few days.... I think that is sorta cool.... now just to get to feeling better so I can totally enjoy the experience...............

I have this bad habit.....

I have this bad habit that just makes momma crazy!!! I like to play in her scrabooking ribbons. I don't really play in it. I eat it. Today momma found ribbons on the floor so she knows I found my way to it again!!! She wasn't happy with me... But the peice she found shows that I didn't chew/eat it this time. At least what she found she doesn't know if I ate any or not. I think she is realizing I might have ate some so she is keeping an eye on me again.

I have been eating more food so she is hoping that I am getting better. I like the food she is giving me and I am eating lots of it. She is having to feed me more often so hopefully I am past this not feeling so well. However I have done alot more sleeping today that I normally do... this getting old is getting hard!

I did get to go out on the patio today. I refused to come in. I just layed out basking in the sun that was kinda cool today. Momma says if the weather is good tomorrow morning we will go out in the morning while she has her coffee and reads her book. We will spend all morning on the patio. Oh I can't wait!!!!! I just want morning to get here really quickly. I so love it out there. I feel better the more she lets me get out there and roll around and just lay in the sun...........
watch out momma I will get up at dawn!!!!!
