Purrs Needed For Me...(maybe I'm being selfish)

Kyla  =^..^= - 04 Feb 2008 21:19 GMT
I'm just feeling so sad and blue today, and my blasted crippling knees are
hurting so bad, and I just don't know what to do.  I know my BP is up, I
also have to take  narcotic PK's for my knees,which I hate with a passion,
thus making me sleep and I can't spend much quality time with my 4 cute
little fuzzy friends, or my husband....I'm NO good to 'anyone' when I'm like
this and it makes me feel worse.  When I DO go to a store, I always carry
some  beautiful credit card size laminated  23rd Psalm cards my husband made
and offer them to people.
That uplifts my spirits, but the dang knees make it nearly imposssible to
get out...and the cold weather doesn't help either.
I'm sorry to unload on you like this....
Love and PURRs to all who are going thru worse things than me.
I guess I AM just being selfish...IDK..
There ARE people worse off than I am.
And also my prayers are going out to them as well.

Kyla I am sending you the best purrs and prayers I can spare for you.  I am
in the same mood you are.  I feel really bad for my furballs specially
Ka'shay since spirit was her best friend. I have notice all of them are not
eating as much even limo who hated spirit.  So it is rough all around

My mother has whispered in my ear to tell you  there is always a brighter
tomorrow it just today that sucks

If you haven't considered knee replacement, please do so.  They are doing
wonders with knee replacements now.  Of course it hurts like all get out
for a while, but in the end it is worth it.  best wishes.   MLB

I had both my knees replaced in Dec 2001, due to rheumatoid arthritis, and
was doing quite well with Psychical Therapy, and then in May 2002, on the
way home from a really well PT session, we were stopped at a red light and
got rear-ended by a large pick-up truck, doing 25-30 mph, our small car was
totaled and my knees were re-injured....I went into shock..which was really
scary..thank God my husband wasn't injured.
I've no medical insurance to have them re-done :(
Thank you for your kindness

My mom had knee replacement surgery three  years ago, and her surgeon
said for the first three months, people aren't sure they've done the
right thing, but then they turn a corner in their recuperation after
that period and THEN they're sure they did. =o)

It's hard to be cheerful when an important body part like your knees
hurt. And long spells of cold gloomy weather don't help, either!

Don't feel bad about unloading on us and don't feel selfish. One of the
things families do is supporting those in need, and we're all family. I
wish I could offer concrete help, but I can't. All I can do is send purrs
and prayers your way for the knees to cooperate.

Prayers and purrs coming you way from me and mine,

And no you are not being selfish.  I know where you are coming from.

I am going on 64 and have had a stroke in '99, had triple by-pass
surgery last year plus my one knee is so bad I have all I can do to
climb the simplest steps.  Not to mention my memory is going also.
The kids make me carry a cell phone anymore so they can contact me to
check on me.  Don't know why.  They all have their own life and do not
have time to be bothered with an oldie like me except when they want
something.

If it was not for my furbabies I honestly do not know what I would do.
They are what keeps me going and not giving up anymore.  My babies and
the strays I feed.  

I did try to take my life one time but my ex called the medics and  I
was brought back.  For what?!?!?  Of course that was before I took in
my furbabies.

Anyways good luck to you and as I said prayers and purrs are coming
your way.

I'd thought about 'offing myself' at times, but that IS being selfish
because I do have people who care about me and love me.  My husband, my kids
and grandkids,  mt 2 sisters and of course, my 4  furbabies....

Strays doing good considering the weather and all.  I picked up a

now I am feeding them also!!  I know where they live so I know they
are not strays.  Just a couple free loaders,  :-)

Perhaps but constant pain is about the worst thing.  What did the doctors
say about accident so soon after the new knees?  There is nothing they
can do?

They took X-Rays, and
they were just 'bruised' back then...even after I took a fall.
and the knees  have gotten worse over the years:(

Purrs and hugs, Kyla!

Everybody is entitled to a pity party once in a while.  The trick is not to
stay there too long.  I'm sure you won't.

My pity parties, though rare, usually include a good cigar and at least a

Well, I don't like cigars and don't drink wine;)
I don't get 'down' like this often...at least I try  not too,
and take things one day at a time and count my blessings.
And this group has been a real blessing to me:)

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I know ALL about chronic pain. It
just wears you down; physically and mentally.

Purrs are on the way.

We all have bad days, Kyla, and thats what prayers & purrs are for - the bad
days. Most of cope most of the time with the lot we've been given, whatever
that may be. Its just the bad days when we need that extra love & support to
get through.

Hugs & purrs,

Yowie, I know that now.  I took an hour 'off' went back into the bedroom for
my knees, and was remembering all the wonderful purrs, prayers and support
that was sent my way, who is somebody new, (I almost typed nobody)  who has
been  here only about a week, getting all these positive 'vibes'...and purrs
DO vibe..and as  I was lying there, my kitty Mosey came running joyfully
down the long hall, jumped up on the bed, purring like crazy started
'marching, and then flopped down and began purring VERY loudly...he was the
purr-messenger...and I felt all those purrs you all sent, and it made me
just...cry, I was just...just...IDK..overwhelmed??
Thank you ALL soooo much.
Wow, I am indeed overwhelmed
And thank you to those who sent me such nice e-mails:)
I feel warm safe and cared about here
Thanks to all of you.

Thank you so much sam....I really appreciate that.

BTW, you live near me, have you heard the latest weather reports?
Channel 7.  Snoqualmi Pass has 50 feet of snow piled up, the pass is a mess
and in danger of being closed again, etc.  YOU stay safe and warm.
They're predicitng high winds, rain and snow for our area.

It's nice that you're back and thank you for the purrs.  I'm still feeling a
little blue , about different things, but I'm okay, but I'm  tense about
mosey and his teeth thingy.  And my health isn't doing too well either:(
