Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2004Request for purrs (kinda long)
I need some purrs for my parents, and maybe a few to soothe my nerves. Night before last, my parents (and their unbelievably kind neighbor) were at the ER. Short version: we think Mom had a mini-stroke, but they can't find anything to prove this. The only test they didn't do was an MRI (they did a CT, however). Her BP was slightly elevated, but not dangerously (i.e. normal for her) and all other tests came back normal/clear/negative/whatever means not a problem. She's seeing her regular Dr this morning. It's *vaguely* possible, based on her symptoms, that she had a sudden, horrendous migraine. She's never had one before and has a history of BP problems, so they'd naturally assume a stroke or cardiac problem. But with all the tests coming back clean, it's a possibility. I never thought I'd hope my mother had a migraine!! I didn't learn of this until after lunch yesterday, so I'm still kind of on edge. (And using "I won't yell at my dad" as my mantra last night and today.) So, please purr for us. Oh, and suggestions are welcome for a way to say thank you to my parents neighbor who voluntarily rode to the hospital with Dad and *stayed there* from 10:30 pm to 5:00 am!! Today is the annual "stuff the boot" fundraider for the local fire fighters (benefits the Muscular Dystrophy Assn.) so I'm going to go over at lunch and put in a donation as my thank you to them. Apparently they were great, and very patient with my 70ish year old parents in a very stressful situation. Well, tearing up again. Better go.

Does your parents' neighbor have a favorite charity? I have sometimes made donations "in honor of" (*not* "in memory of" - LOL!) friends who have done special favors for me. Be sure to ask the charitable organization you select to notify the person being honored. I used to get migraines, and it's hard to imagine wishing for one...but in this case, I agree that it would be far preferable to some of the alternatives. Anyway, here's wishing the best for your mothr.

Purrs for everyone. Scary situation, for sure. I hope it truly is "just" a migraine, although I know well those can be horrendous. Hopefully the right meds will take care of the problem.
