Have a back-up person, just in case

I have a little confession to make about something in this thread that bothers me. I have Trigeminal neuralgia AND horrible migraines AND cluster headaches AND Tinnitus. Now comes MRI #5 for something new (my doctor got pale when I told her) and I'm just dreading going to the neurological circus again. What I said earlier about getting Cynthia involved is going to be a necessity. I've had to shoot Noah an hour early because I'm getting a screamer or 2 hours late because I can finally turn the lights on. So now you all know I'm not the best cat daddy. Noah literally could not live anywhere else but here with us and incredibly enough he can be stable for months at a time. Someone must be watching over us.
We all have times when we feel as though we have failed our pets. I have had pets my entire life and have made mistakes with all of them. But every one of those animals was given the best life possible and taken care of to the best of my ability. I believe you do that with all your fur babies. There is no denying your love and passion for them.

You are in no way a bad pet parent because life happens or gets in the way. I do my best to keep Monster on a 12 hour schedule, but it doesn’t happen. It is what it is and I do the best I can. That’s all you can do too...the best you can.

It can be hard to allow your spouse to help because it requires you to not be in control all the time. I rely on my husband to help me with the pets and farm chores when I’m away. He does the best he can and that’s all I ask. Does he do everything I would do with the chores? No. But all pets and animals are fed, medicated if needed, and alive when I get home. Well, except once but that wasn’t his fault.

I hope you get some answers quickly from the doctors. I also hope you can get some relief from your other health issues. Don’t beat yourself up, Dickson. Just do the best you can! :bighug:
