Thinking how nice it would be to have one of you wonderful people near by.......maybe we could have coffee and support each other.......THEN I see it is someone who just verbally attacked people here that I "know" and love.......I'll stick with the site. You can't "click" a negative person goodbye with a click, in a coffee shop. Sigh.
One thing I've learned in being a caregiver is there is a lot of days when we are right on the edge. On those days, something that normally wouldn't bother us sets us off. If we're online, we can end up looking like jackasses. Maybe we should give each other permission to be jackasses on some days as long as it isn't every day.
I have had a really long day. We went to PT at the hospital, then out to eat, and to a concert. Mom was worn out. I came home to my old rabbit having a very difficult time. He hand-fed him a huge meal -- more than I thought he could ever eat. I'm wondering if he is surging. I am hoping he passes during the night, but I'll work with him if he wants to live longer and is not suffering. He's old. One thing that animals have taught me is that life is precious, even when it is not what humans call high quality. Each hour is a gift to them as long as they are not suffering. I wish I could be like that, just enjoying the life I have now and not worrying about how tomorrow might be.
Anyway, I'm in a forgiving and forgetting mood tonight. Maybe I'll be a jackass at a later time. If so, just know I'm trying to claw my way back from the edge. (Man, do I sound narcissistic or what?)
Glad~You are right that sometimes we don't think. I know I will be more selective of the threads I post on from here on out. The last thing I want or intend to do is anger or hurt someone.
Good night everyone!!
AA7, I know what you mean. I have felt vulnerable myself here. I almost left this site and thought about not posting at all, but then thought, no, I'm not going to do that to myself. I value you guys highly here. I've gotten a lot of great information and advice, too, and that's priceless to me.
