Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Rob fell out of bed
I was woke up at about 6:30 yesterday by a thump sound. I looked over and, no Rob. He'd fallen out of bed, hitting his head on a corner table that we use as a night stand. I couldn't wake him up at first, but finally got him to respond to me. Then he couldn't get up for a while. By this time, I was starting a shower, waking Mike and Jim up to help convince Rob to go to the hospital ER, and thanking Bast that we'd finally gotten our errant car battery replaced on Wednesday. It took a half hour to convince him to go to the ER, another fifteen minutes to convince him that he couldn't go in his underwear, and then about ten minutes to get him into street clothing. (can you see where I'm going with this? I knew you could) Then he threw up. Multiple times. He refused to go by ambulance, so I finally convinced him to let me drive him. At least I was able to grab a shower while the boys talked to him. We finally got to the hospital around 8 am and I had to explain the reason for the delay. Well, Rob went stubborn on the ER staff, so they kinda understand what I was dealing with. Finally, by 9 am he was in the ER exam cubicle. I jollied him into behaving with the help of the ER staff at Womack (military hospital) They took C-T scans, blood tests, urine tests, and so forth. Results? Rob knocked himself silly falling out of bed and gave himself a mild concussion. We got home around 4:30 yesterday afternoon (I was going to go grocery shopping anyway, and having a captive Rob made things easier). Turns out that we were at the hospital from 8 am to 3:30 pm. I have further teasing rights, and Rob is on a bland diet until tonight. I told him that I'm going to insist on a hospital bed if he keeps it up. Sing it with me: One old Robby sleeping on the bed He fell off and bumped his head. Took him to the Doctor and the doctor said No more Robbies falling off the bed...

Aren't men the worst when it comes to doctors? I'm glad it looks like he will be okay.

All those years of feline company have definitely taught Rob a thing or two. ;-) Love Jeanette cancer <snip> > Sing it with me: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Pam S still tired from the emotional roller coaster of cancer I think you must be a very strong woman, Pam, you've gone through so much and can still smile.

A concussion is no fun (I've had one), and an injured, uncooperative husband is even less fun. An extra hug for you. Joy > I was woke up at about 6:30 yesterday by a thump sound.

It must seem bizarre when someone who has a major illness, who could have a medical crisis from that at any time, has an ordinary accident like anyone else. Teasing rights are very important - be sure to take full advantage. :) > Sing it with me: > > One old Robby sleeping on the bed > He fell off and bumped his head. > Took him to the Doctor and the doctor said > No more Robbies falling off the bed... Or how about this one, depending on how many cats are on the bed: There were <X> in the bed And the little one said "Roll over, roll over" So they all rolled over and one fell out There were <X-1> in the bed And the little one said... I'm glad it was nothing terrible! Purrs for your nerves, Joyce What a roller coaster of a day. But all are home and groceries bought. Charlie thrashes in his sleep and has fallen out of bed a couple of times. I cannot even think about how exhausting all this is. You do seem to have a pretty good grip on dealing with life as if comes. But I'm thinking you don't have a lot of choice in the matter either. And hopefully a lot of testing got over and done with and won't be needed again for a while. Medical appointments have to be exhausting. For all of you. Get somebody to feed the cats and clean of the litter boxes. Curl up in a corner for a while if you need to. (For reference, when you just cannot worry about diabetic food, a McD double cheeseburger with no catsup and don't eat the bun or at least throw away the top half of the bun is low carb fast food. ) Jo >I was woke up at about 6:30 yesterday by a thump sound.

What was he dreaming about? I thrash around too, but and i have had violent dreams where i've ended up punching the nightstand (ow) but don't think i've rolled out of the bed. Purrs for you and Rob.

I hope Rob will be O.K. Rosie and Cinder are revving up the purrs for both of you. Internet service here is spotty. I'll try to get that email out to you. Annie > I was just going to email you, but decided to check RPCA first. I hope Rob > will be O.K. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Annie Thanks Annie, Rob is doing fine. I ended back at the ER today because Mandy gave Huey a flea bath, and he took exception to it. She's on a course of antibiotics and so forth for the next ten days. Some of the same staff were at the ER and asked how Rob is doing. I suspect the cute medic that treated Mandy thinks that I secretly injure my family and pass it off onto other causes. Mandy is fine now, and Huey has forgiven her for his undignified trip to the tub. The rest get bathed tomorrow. Jim is planning on using his welding gloves to hold them with. Pam S. > Rob is doing fine. I ended back at the ER today because Mandy gave Huey a > flea bath, ... I suspect the cute medic that treated Mandy thinks that I > secretly injure my family and pass it off onto other causes. ... > Pam S. I went through a period of a couple of months when our children were young and Jim, of course, was away, when the ER people got to know me and our kids by name. I suppose these days they might call child protective services if you show up with too many odd injuries. We are good friends with one couple who went to the ER because she had fallen down the basement stairs and got a nasty black eye. She said the medics kept asking her questions that seem to imply that her husband did it and she was protecting him. But, knowing them, I would not hesitate to believe that she fell down the stairs all by herself. We've got the kitties purring for Mandy, but they did express some sympathy for Huey. Cinder hisses and growls when we put Revolution drops between her shoulder blades. I can't imagine having to give her a bath. I hope the rest of the gang is more cooperative for your Jim and his welding gloves. Annie > We've got the kitties purring for Mandy, but they did express some sympathy > for Huey.

While I'm one of those, this task sucks so let's get it over with type people; Mike, Jim, and Mandy scheduled doing two cats a day, but took Huey out of turn, because I insisted as Huey isn't ordinarily a grumpy sort. I think Mandy has convinced herself that it is my fault that she got bit. The cats already believed it. Sonya keeps coming to me for comfort with a "why did you let them do this to me" look. Qui Gun Kit still, even after being dried off, looks like a drowned rat. He's very disgruntled. Pam S. > Thanks Annie, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Pam S. Lots and lots of purrs for Rob and Mandy, Polonca and Soncek <snipped> OMG, Pam! What an ordeal. Sending purrs for you all. SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe Hi Pam, I've been out of town these past few days and am just catching up on rpca -- so many heartfelt purrs for you all! I hope Rob is recovering well and YOU can try and step down from your latest adrenaline surge from all the events you've had. Purrs for the Shirk kitties, too. hugs and love, Christine > I was woke up at about 6:30 yesterday by a thump sound. I looked over > and, no Rob.
