Whilst Christmas Day and Boxing Day were wonderful - listening to old 78's of Glen Millar and Joe Loss and dancing with my Mum, things went rapidly down hill after that.
John's birthday (27th) was spent with him wiped out in bed following a collapse in the morning. So on the first working day back I mad him a Dr's appointment and went with him - he duly had a collapse whilst in the Dr's surgery. The rest of the day was spent at East Surrey Hospital - thrilling and worrying at the same time. In short he has a heart condition - we don't know what it is exactly and neither, it seems, do the Dr's so we await all sorts of tests and trips to consultants etc. In the meantime he is exhausted.
The New Year came in with a whimper as our gorgeous lovely little cat (Lady Penelope PLC - Purrs Loudly and Constantly or Pretty Little Cat) is ill again. She is in desperate need of an operation to remove lung lobes which are diseased...... the cost would be around 4 to 5 thousand pounds. Insurance has already paid for her treatment to date (now running at nearly 5 thousand) but I just simply don't have any money. She will come home and will be on anti-biotics for a while, and we are of course hopeful that this will give her some good quality of life, but if the problems return we will need to consider all the options again - we can only keep our fingers crossed and pray that she will survive again on more anti-biotics. She is only 5 and a bit and is such a plucky little thing.....I pray for guidance and support and of course and foremost for her.
It is odd how the year has started, but these shocks have made me realise my need for support beyond the human - in what form this is I am still undecided, but faith and trust is obviously going to be the order of 2011 and whatever it brings.
May you all find the courage to deal with the problems that the year brings and joy in the love you have for friends, family and pets and in simply being here on this wonderful planet.
Peace and love
