I miss my babies...

I'm not sure exactly where I should post this, so I put it here lol. So mods feel free to move it if it's in the wrong place.

I miss my kitties! I'm in a hospital down in Chicago right now for my headaches (as some of you remember I have headaches 24/7 and have been to this hospital/program before) and I live in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin. That's like an hour and a half away. I haven't seen them since Monday... That's when I was admitted. And I don't know when I will be released as I'm not getting any better yet. I know that they are being well taken care of, because my best friend that only lives two blocks from my house has been going over there and doing kitty chores and playing with them every other day (she has school and work otherwise it would be everyday). So I'm not worried that they're not getting cared for- I'm just sad because I can't cuddle them . Especially my little man Pirate- he's my baby. I jokingly told my dad that the only way I would let him come and visit me in the hospital would be if he smuggled in Pirate... now we all know that that's not going to happen... It's a good thing there's no pet therapy on this unit right now, because I would just fall apart. And it doesn't help that everytime I turn on my laptop I see one of Pirate's kitten pictures (soooo cute). My bff Stacy, the one that's taking care of them, has been taking pictures of them for me and sending them to me when she's there which is super sweet of her. I'm just so sick and tired of being away from my babies all the time- before I was away at the hospital I had a boyfriend that lived over four hours away from my house and there were many weekends that I would spend up with him. And that was hard to do too, just leaving my kitties for a day or two.

I think I posted something like this the last time I was here in the hospital- just complaining about how much I missed all my little ones. So sorry that this is kind of like a repeat of that, but I need to vent and talk to someone about it. Well I gotta go- apparently the dinner trays just got on the unit so I need to head back to my room (btw I got the best room on the unit lol just thought I'd share that).

Sorry about the complaining, just looking for some support and reassurance I guess.

You're apologizing about needing to write about missing your cats to people who love cats?

YOU NEED HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






....and mega vibes you break this cycle soon so you can get home!

Thanks, I needed that. I was just apologizing because after I read what I wrote, it sounded kinda like I was just whining and complaining... which I tend to do A LOT

I think most of us would feel the same way that you do....and I agree with Laurie, you need hugs (and kitties, lol!). I only wish I'd known about this site and had a laptop in 2003 when I was in hospital for four days!

I have been lucky- my dad is letting me borrow one of his company's laptops (well we share it- he got a new "fancy" one lol) and there is free wi-fi on this unit. You have noooooo idea how comforting it is to talk to people about how much I miss my babies (and yes, when I talk about my kitties to other people I always refer to them as my babies ) they just look at me like "they're just cats, crazy lady calm yourself down geez". But for me they are soooo much more than "just cats". I can honestly say that over the past 2-3 years they have actually given me something to live for and they have saved me several times from my darkest days... They just sense it, they're sooooo in tune with my emotions it's incredible. If I'm stressed, they just are there to cheer me up and be all cuddly and act like little clowns (then there's Sidney and she thinks that when I'm feeling down she needs to gather up all her straws around the house and bring them to me and just sit there with them at my feet lol). I do know that there will be those first few minutes when I get home where Pirate won't want ANYTHING to do with me, and then as soon as I go to sit on the couch he will jump right up and hug his front paws around my neck and not let go and nuzzle against my neck just like a little baby.

Geez, talking about this is making me miss him even more! I should really stop...

just lots of Missy.

sorry I haven't responded yet... I will tomorrow, ok...thanks for dropping me a note
