Hi Sue—The main difference between your experiences and my recent episode is the investment of time involved. My experience, barring any unforeseen complications, will be over in a relative short period; whereas yours, as you’ve chronicled, is an experience, which has encompassed your entire lifetime in one sense or another. In other words, you suffered much more on all levels over time, physically and spiritually, and I’m sure you’re grown from your experiences immensely; I endured a short period of pain and perhaps learned a few things, yet undefined, from mine.I can very much relate to your experiences in the ICU–a time of misery for sure. I hated the dreams and hallucinations that the morphine induced so much that opted for the pain. I’ve always been a cat person. More than once, in times of deep despair, my cats became my sole reason for wanting to continue—doing anything. If I were not around, my partner can take care of herself. But, I’m afraid no one would take care of my cats the way that I do. Since each has been with us, they’ve never known want. I feel that if I were to do anything consciously to abandon them, it would be an unforgivable betrayal. What you can tell your hostess’s father, the wise old man, for me, is this—cats treat you as an equal, you negotiate their trust and friendship, much as you do with people—dogs are ass-kissers. Lol –M |

I am happy we BOTH are ok! I enjoyed your cat comment. Quite honestly, I’ve seen the “wise older man” since, and he was just as obnoxious in other ways. He’ll never learn. I don’t think he’ll ever get it or a lot of other stuff. |
