In reply to the discussion: My late husband's kitty finally stopped [View all]CountAllVotes
(21,227 posts)I just got the DX that I have polyneuropathy due to systemic sclerosis. I now have searing pain in my feet that wakes me up every night without fail. And wow, it is painful! Yikes!
A hospital bed was ordered for me but after I found out what I'd be getting via Medicare will pay for, which I'd have to buy a new mattress for it very soon or immediately, new sheets, etc. I decided to hell with that idea.
Yesterday I went into town and bought myself a new SOFT mattress (full size) and hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep. I've been sleeping in my late husband's bed these days on two Thermarest pads that we used 30+ years ago when we used to go camping!
Unacceptable I decided and yes, I'll be writing this one off on the taxes for this financially horrific year.
I'm sure the cats will love the new bed as it is so soft! It will be delivered on Wednesday and the adjustable POS I bought last year will be hauled away !
As it stands now I wake up with all of them surrounding me and they are all getting along now too! What a huge relief for Mr. Andy especially.
I had one person (one of the ones I recently dumped) tell me to get rid of him and that they couldn't handle his behavior for such a long long time.
I waited Mr. Andy out.
Poor lonely kitty = Mr. Andy who used to bite.
The biting has stopped the day my husband died oddly.
I am grateful to have my cats as if it weren't for them I'd be alone alone alone.
I'm thinking alone is good these days given those SOB's I recently got rid of!
Thank you everyone here. It means a lot to me.
