Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008And yet more purrs needed- you think you're having a bad day!
A friend of mine (Hugh the guy who took little (now not so little) Bandit in) was supposed to be having his 50th birthday celebrations tonight only he got the tummy bug that is doing the rounds... And he's just heard that his 19-year old nephew is being investigated for Hodgkin's disease or some other lympatic cancer... We know what to do don't we?

No fun with the stomach bug... me, I just had a nasty sinus thing going on, and it wasn't my birthday. Mega purrs for his nephew. But keep thinking positive thoughts. My 83 year old father is a two time non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor. Jill > Mega purrs for his nephew. But keep thinking positive thoughts. My 83 year > old father is a two time non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor. One of our mutual friends survived Hodgkins lymphoma when he was 13 and treatments have got a lot better since then so he's trying to be positive although when you haven't felt safe leaving the toilet for 24 hours (as Terry Pratchett put it through one of his character "I know every knot hole on the privy door!") it's not that easy Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > A friend of mine (Hugh the guy who took little (now not so little) > Bandit in) was supposed to be having his 50th birthday celebrations [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Indeed. Purrs for Hugh's improved health and for his nephew's finding to be non-cancerous.

The purrs worked! Apparently his nephew has some form of TB of the lymph nodes which is not infectious (he's back at university) and will respond to drug treatment Alas Hugh still needs a lot of purrs, His mum has had heart disease for most of the 15 years I have known him, She only survived one heart attack because she had the good timing to be in the ambulance went she went into cardiac arrest! Her main carer is his sister who has fought (not too hard by all accounts) a battle with drink. Most people I know like a drink but we'd all say a bottle of scotch before an early lunch is more than a bt much! Last year her dad spent serious money getting her into the Priory but she got expelled from there On Saturday, she flipped after two bottles in about as many hours, the police got called, she threatened to kill herself so they took her to the police station and as a precaution they took all her clothes off of her and she had to wait 12 hours to be seen and taken to hospital. So Hugh's mum is now on whatever form of care can be worked out between the rest of him and his siblings and has said she doesn't want her daughter back in the house Hugh's at his wits end I guess we purr some more Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > On Saturday, she flipped after two bottles in about as many hours, the > police got called, she threatened to kill herself so they took her to > the police station and as a precaution they took all her clothes off > of her and she had to wait 12 hours to be seen and taken to hospital. I'm sorry, but that is just bizarre. And very cruel. If they were afraid she'd run away, she could have been put in a holding tank or something, but to strip her naked and leave her that way for 12 hours?? That's awful. Purrs that she is able to get help, and that she finds the strength to use it! Joyce On Feb 1, 11:09 am, bastXXXe...@sonic.net wrote: > I'm sorry, but that is just bizarre. And very cruel.

They had to keep her in a cell whilst waiting for the duty doctor who was busy elsewhere and she had threatened to kill herself so I guess removing her clothes was so she didn't have anything to hand herslef with > Purrs that she is able to get help, and that she finds the strength to > use it! As I gather she has been in rehab and detox more times than Brittney/ Lindsay etc but she doesn't seem to want to stop, Last year as I said her dad paid about fifty thousand pounds to get her into the the Priory Clinic and they had to discharge her because she was telling the therapists to F-off etc Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Purrs and Prayers coming your way Kyla "Lesley" < On Jan 5, 2:14 pm, Lesley > A friend of mine (Hugh the guy who took little (now not so little) > Bandit in) > And he's just heard that his 19-year old nephew is being > investigated > for Hodgkin's disease or some other lympatic cancer...
