okay
I am still here.
Thank you for being my frins. I have had a tough time with this.
Caesar was an amazing kittyboy and I am sorry, I am a softie for animals.
I still miss him terribly.Princess is doing okay
A lot of things have happened since I last blogged here.Blizzie was home and we took Prin to the vet. She is doing okay. she needs subq’s one day a week… I havenot been able to do that.
Prinnie only liked getting the subq’s in that little round bed… and now she refuses to use that bed.
She is making the adjustment to being an only kitty.I have only skated one day this week. Just tired. do not feel like it.
Hubby and I are watching tv right now. we just watched Atlantis blast off. That was major cool.
What else.
So, if Hillary moves back into the white house, do you think she will bring back all that stuff she stole when they moved out?Yesterday it was 71 degrees here. I went for a walk but had to cut it very short and come home because I was boiling hot.
Today it is 50. Very strange weather for Northern Virginia.My mom. She has been doing fine. Last week the doc office called her in the middle of the day (she was having a nice day until….) they told her to change the dosages of her several heart meds and “come in for another cardioversion next week” (yesterday). My mom…. I am a lot like her, she got really bummed and mad. She said she was feeling fine. I saw her last week at Joyce’s house. We went there for Joyce’s b-day. I took her pulse, it was pretty normal, certainly not irregular.
So, they showed up yesterday, mom and dad. Mom was NPO since the night before and here it is 11AM. The procedure was to be at 1:00PM.
Good grief there is no consideration for 84 year olds is there?… well, so they wait in this room, mom in a gown in a bed and dad with her…. for 4 hours. My mom was getting really cranky — I mean very anxious, bored and upset and HUNGRY.
I tried to call dad’s phone but they do not work in the hospital.
Anyway, finally that doclady showed up … looked at mom and told her never mind they were not going to do the cardioversion because her heart was fine and regular.Okay I did not know any of this until dad called me when they finally got home at 4PM!
I would have gone out there yesterday morning but the weather here was kinda horrible. Now it is probably a good thing I did not go because I would have been very mean to them.Okay. This is really all I have to share.
I will try to visit your bloggies. I have been reading them in my subs but not commenting… sorry.
Here is a picture of my Princess Curliepantsclick to biggify
I am going to take good care of this sweet kittyAgain, thank you for being here for me. Thank you for the prayers and all of your kindness.

Hey, hey! If I was your mom, I might have *punched* somebody… I’d tell you to tell her she did well to behave, but she’d prolly get all riled up again. Glad she didn’t have to have anything done, but what a hassle!
Princess Curliepants is funny… she is berry curly and cute. I want to talk about Hillary at all, muchless regarding the White House… I don’t want to think about the antics her husband will get in to. Glad to hear from you! 
Okay, that should have DON’T WANT to talk about Hills at all.
Hey there! That’s awful the way they made your mom wait. I would have been furious. It has been warm here these past couple of days. I was riding around with my windows down yesterday. Unreal. Your princess looks so comfy…not to mention spoiled.
Funny about Hillary. I wonder, if she wins does that make Bill “First Lady?” *snort*
lol…come on……71 is not boiling hot. You’re tough, you can handle it. Man, you’d melt down here.
Stoopid hospitals!!!!!! Outrageous!!! Now is she really needs one she might not have it done because she got fed up!!!
Prinnie won’t allow her treatment? That’s not a good thing. She better behave herself and be a good girl!!
I hope you’re feeling better now and that things are getting back to normal emotionally for you. I know how tough it can be. Keep on keeping on!
They better not send her a bill for that!!! Gosh I’d have had a total FIT.
That really wasn’t good treatment of your mum at all. Some people have no consideration (or respect) at all.
If we live long enough we will have alot of scars from all the loses. Yes, she looks so sweet. You know she has to miss him,alot.
Well, I can’t believe you said that about Hillary-did you hear it from someone else? that didn’t sound like you but it was funny.
Yes, I agree with your mom -if she feels fine but who knows what is the right thing to do-I just always try to follow my dr. orders cause he knows more then I do.
Oh dear. I really DO suck. I didn’t even know about Caesar.
I am so sorry, Rosemarie. I love you lots and lots.
I feel so sorry for old…heck, all of us…people who need medical attention nowdays.
sometimes, those medical people can be soooo insensitive!
I am so mad for your parents. They act like she doesn’t have good sense. I have found that also with my mom and hospitals.
AUGH!!! The right hand does not know what the left is doing,either.
Scars. Yep, you’re right. I think I haven’t had any biggies since 96-2001. I think maybe one is due. Waiting for the other shoe to fall.
Prin is so like me with hurt – I put it in a box and store it on the shelf and pretend it never happened because it’s too much work and pain to deal. But it falls off later and makes a huge mess.
You are still in my prayers.
Hugs, dearie!
Oh, I am not liking the long, long wait for your Mom. Reminds me of the time they put my Dad(and me waiting with him) in the hospital ER room—and forgot him. I was way angry.
Princess will take some time figuring it out.
I am glad you are trying to do some of your regular things. I have been missing your blogs. Don’t go too far, for too long.
I am sorry for your parents . I hope your mother stands firm and so for your father . The wait at the hospital was not kind . But what to expect from an anonymous hospital ?
I understand Rosemary for your Caesar . We love our friends even if they are cats . It ‘ s familair and kind presence and we feel the void . But I wish you went ahead .
All of my encouragements and my support for you , my friend .
Love
Michel
Rosemary I forgot to mention your father and his Swiss friend ‘s story . Again a beautiful story alas too short .
Love
Michel
You can’t take any better care of her now than you did before because you took great care of both your kittehs.
They were/are the most spoiled/loved/revered kitties in the world. And that’s because YOU were taking care of them.
I think of Ceasar every day, and have told many friends about your loss. What a wonderful cat he was, how much you loved him/them.
They all express their condolences, many sharing their stories.
We’re all connected.
How are you doing today lovely lady? I hope your days have been going better and that Prin has let you take care of her, poor baby, still grieving too.
I noticed when I was taking care of my dad and we had multiple appointments at the V.A. hospital that they showed the elderly no respect, never apologising for being hours late or being rough. They think they don’t have to show individual care because of the sheer volume of elderly that pass thru but i.m.h.o. that is exactly why they should. When I called them on it they would always apologise and take better care but sometimes I would have to stop them and say something to get decent treatment. Which frightens me for the elderly who don’t have an advocate. My dad is lucky to have my sisters and me and your mom is lucky to have her family.
How are you , Rosemary . i hope you go on !
Love
Michel
I’m sorry that your mom (and dad) had to go through all that hassle. I know how much you loved Caesar, and you will probably always miss him. Princess is a sweet kitty. I’m sure you’re taking good care of her!
