I've been holding back. Didn't want to "say" anything to make it more real-trying to preoccupy myself and laugh instead of cry. At Sadie's vet appointment this morning, I found out that on top of everything else, she now has a heart murmur. What made everything even more painful was what my mom did. I was running late for work because of the recent developments at Sadie's appointment. My mom called my work and talked to my boss because she wanted me to help her with something and she was hoping to catch me before I got to work. I can only speculate as to why my mother had this conversation with my boss-probably because she was upset I couldn't help her like I always do. My boss already knew what I had found out about Sadie's heart because I called her right away to let her know I'd be late. When my mom called me on my cell, she never mentioned she'd already talked to my boss and knew of the latest bad news. My mother actually had a conversation with my boss about how it might be time to put Sadie down. She had no right to have that conversation with my boss. And the worst part is that my mom was actually the one who found Sadie, and since no one else was willing to care for her, I was the one who adopted her when she was a year old. When I told my mom about what happened at Sadie's appointment, my mom already knew because she had spoken to my boss. She acted as if she didn't know-I found out from my boss after I got to work about their conversation. I am already barely functioning because of the grief of Sadie's rapidly declining health. Now I find out my mom betrayed me because she was inconvenienced by my altered availability due to our lengthy vet appointment. I am sad on so many levels.
Sadie is very lucky to have such a caring human
It's wonderful she can trust you to do what's right which is NOT easy for you (((Morgan and Sadie)))Is your mom used to being the center of attention?
Stop trying to walk on it!!! And do not put off going to the doctor! You are not invincible.
Thanks, but I am wearing slippers. Isn't that just as good?
And I don't know about the invincible thing. My folder at the doctor's office is about 6 inches thick (and I've only been seeing this medical group for 20 years.
)
I feel angry today because I can't put into words what I could possibly say to make morgan feel a little better.
I hate going to the doctor too. It's such a gigantic pain because all I want to do is go once, find out whats wrong and be given instructions to fix it.
I don't want to drive all over town seeing other doctors or getting MRIs and I don't want to go back for a follow up. Just point me in the right direction to get better and I'll handle the rest. I wouldn't hate it so much if it was a one trip thing but in this day an age, that is impossible. You can't go have anything looked at without having to go to several places (and all of these places have waiting rooms). I hate it.
Yeah me too. And the doctor’s just going to jump all over my a$$ for not following through from the last visit. I haven’t scheduled my first colonoscopy yet, I haven’t made the appointment with the surgeon to remove several growing cysts yet, I haven’t set up an appointment with the Radiation Oncologist yet, and I haven’t gotten some tests done. Although I don’t think 9 months is so bad, I doubt he’ll agree. I did get the blood work done though... hey, 1 out of 5 isn’t so bad, right?I hate going to the doctor too.

Get your butt in there (see what I did there? 
) and get that stuff taken care of. In spite of what you might think, many of us (myself included) would miss having you around.
Dio-take care of you!
Doctors. You cant fool them. I can go in all smile and happy looking, they know.
I did the colonoscopy once. It really was not big deal. You sleep during it. After you get to see the screen they will be looking at. All this after your dreaded night of the potion that you are made to drink. After that you just go in, with all of the other people waiting for it.. Sad place. And no one looks at each other. You all know what is in store.
You waddle out. Or you think you do. No one knows but you. But you think everyone knows the shame of your butt. It is embarrassed.
Your own butt feels shame.

LOL Appointment is made. Looks like my regular doctor (and I use the term "regular" loosely as I consider twice to be regular) is gone from the practice. Said it didn't matter who I see as it seems I get a different doctor every time I go anyway.
Still sounds horrifying.Doctors. You cant fool them. I can go in all smile and happy looking, they know.

The prep is most definitely the worst part of the procedure. I hope you have more than one bathroom in your house.Still sounds horrifying.
OH NO! I have 3 bathrooms, but 3 women in the house, and my daughters usually have friends over at any given time. As such, there are many a time I have to run out behind the shed.The prep is most definitely the worst part of the procedure. I hope you have more than one bathroom in your house.
(I have to buy the mega packs of toilet paper and getting the septic pumped out is yearly occurrence)
Put an Out of Order sign on one of them and claim it as yours for the duration. And stay close with an empty wastebasket for the just in case you can't decide which end takes priority once you get to the end of the gallon of the prep you have to drink. Trust me on this.ON NO!

Oh my god, this just keeps getting worse with every subsequent post. I’m now thinking of giving the doctor an alias when I go in this afternoon and saying I’m a new patient.Put an Out of Order sign on one of them and claim it as yours for the duration.

Keep me out of this!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you dare! Just suck it up and get it over with and hopefully they'll tell you you don't need to do it again for another 10 years.

Dang, I was hoping to ask you to serve as my proxy, butt I guess that won't work now.
