Hi everyone, I guess it’s time to let you know what’s been going on with me these past few weeks.
If you already didn’t know on September 1st I had accident at work with a piece of machinery. This resulted in me breaking the top half of my ring finger, I’ve been trying to work with it as I’ve been given lighter duties but I’ve had to go home early on occasions due to the cold conditions I work in. I am currently taking donations to help pay bills if you’d like to help me out.
Before I broke my finger, I received a promotion but because I’ve been placed on lighter duties I’ve felt like I’m not doing enough for the team and I’m nothing but a waste of space. I’ve been reassured by my area manager that I’m still valuable and important to the team, and that being there means a lot to them… yeah I’ll come back to this shortly.
September 12th I received a phone call from my partner saying that he’s being taken to hospital with suspected sepsis. For those who don’t know sepsis is basically an infection that can cause poisoning of the blood and can be life threatening, we found out that he had early signs of sepsis and he is now on high doses of medication to combat the infection. He is currently being monitored and will need to have another blood test sometime next week to see if the meds have worked.
And then just two days after my partners health scare… On September 14th at 20:00 PM, I had to make the most heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my 1 1/2 year old kitten Fudge… This sudden decision had to be made after finding out that she had somehow contracted Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), which is what is being called as feline covid.
DISCLAIMER: THIS CANNOT BE CONTRACTED BY HUMANS, I want to make this clear before anyone thinks it is and does something stupid to someone’s cat.
Now before anyone says that I should’ve noticed a difference in her behaviour to be able to treat her sooner, I just want to say that pets like cats and dogs and other pets are notorious for hiding their illnesses. If I had noticed anything different with her I would’ve rushed her in as soon I saw her change, but… she just acted the same as she always did. Following me around the house like my little furry shadow, always wanting cuddles and affection no matter the time of day. She hid this illness so well that by the time she was seen by a vet her body was already starting to shut down, and there was nothing I could do for her… Letting her go was the hardest thing I had to do, but it was also the kindest thing to do for her. We spent time to talking to her, cuddling her and giving her plenty of kisses. All of this was going on and all the while she was just purring away… right until her last moments. At 20:20 PM she grew her wings, and we said goodbye. Leaving the vets without her was devastating.
She’s left a huge hole in our home and in our hearts and we miss her dearly, I’d give anything to have her back. Anything to hold her one more time, to hear her mew one more time… to hear her purr as we cuddle together on the sofa with her favourite blanket one last time. It’s already been two weeks without her and I’m still struggling to come to terms with her death. I received her casket last Friday and even though she’s now home, I still can’t cope. I plan to do something to help raise awareness of FIP and to help contribute to the research in Fudge’s honour. If I can help families with their beloved cats and save them the heartache of what I’m going through with Fudge I will do my best to help this cause.
With all of this happening I’ve been taking all of my stress and grief to work, which have been informed of all current events. I know you have to keep work and home life separate but sometimes it’s easier said than done. Long story short my area manager, the one who’s said I’m wanted and valued, blew up in my face on Monday. This situation was something that was completely out of my control and with emotions high, I finally snapped back and walked out. I reported him to another manager for his behaviour but I actually stood up for myself.
As of now my finger still has two weeks left to heal, but to help with the recovery process I may stretch it and other two weeks. I’ve still been able to draw but not to my full ability, I may make some simple ychs to help with bills but nothing too complex. I want to take this moment to thank all my commissioners for their amazing patience, things have been so difficult as of late and to hear your messages of support and comfort have meant everything to me. I’m still trying to work things out with what’s happening but it’s just been hard, I hope to be back better than before but until then let’s see where life goes.
