8-29-24 Tyler Crossed The Rainbow Bridge On Monday 8-26-24 AND UDATE ON MY SURGERY YESTERDAY

Hi my family. As some of you know Tyler had SCL and I decided not to treat it. He was doing good , I was giving him B-12 and probiotics, the diarrhea got better and he was still eating and was happy. On Monday morning I noticed that after he would meow it sounded like he was blowing out air. Then he really wasn't interested in food. I called the ER that I took Tyler to when he was blocked and the vet said it sounded like he might have some trouble breathing. I decided to take him there and help him cross the Rainbow Bridge.
He was so boney and I didn't want him to suffer. It was very strange that we got the same vet to help him pass that we had when he was blocked. I held him and told him that I loved him so much and I was sorry. He was buried in my sister's back yard along with Perry's ashes who was his brother and my other cat Jake's ashes.
It may sound weird but him getting diabetes brought us closer. He was such a good boy when it came to testing and giving him the insulin. He was not a cuddler but I would pick him up and put him on the bed with me on my chest and stroke the side of his face and boy did he love it. He would kiss me on my nose and forehead. Now I'm crying again. I can't thank Marje, Wendy, Sienne, Suzanne,Bron, Bhooma, Elise and Carla for all the advice you gave me to get Tyler into remission. It was 3 years and 4 months.
I know he was ready to pass.
I keep putting on the kitchen faucet thinking he was still here .
I just didn't have the money to treat him for the SCL. When I think back I remember in March that he was getting a little thin around his back area and thought it was just old age ,so I bet you that was the start of it. He was 16 and 5 months old.
I loved him so so much even though he would attack my ankles after I got done cutting his nails. He was very vocal this last month . I called him Boo Boo .
I know I haven't been on here lately but I have been checking in on all the kitties. I am having shoulder surgery tomorrow ,I have a tear . Really not looking forward to it , but I can't stand the pain anymore. I will check in with all of you later on . I hope all of your kitties are doing good and sending prayers if they are not feeling well.
I miss all of you

Diane, l don't know you so well. But, I know this pain NONE too well. Feel Tyler around you and watch for little signs and sounds he's still around. He needs to make sure you are okay -- tell him you're okay. Woody and I send a whole bunch of love and thoughtful sad for the empty feeling inside your head and heart. LOVE Woody.
 
Adding my tears to the river that's flowing through this thread (we need a giant box of Kleenex to pass around). Diane, you are the BEST human and the most loving mom to Tyler, Perry, Jake, and of course Ashley, who are all together now and looking down on you, showering you with love and gratitude, and saying "Don't cry, Mom! We are up here having an absolute blast!"

You did all the right things to keep your sweet boy happy and comfortable for as long as possible, and you did the most selfless and courageous thing to set him free when he told you he was ready to go. We would keep them with us forever if we could, but Nature always has the last word. And I'm sorry, but she can be a real b*tch sometimes.

There are no words for how much it hurts when they leave us. I hope it helps a little to know how many friends are holding you in their hearts now.

Sending so much love ...

Oh no, I pop in here from time to time and today, I see this thread from earlier this week, the thread I never wanted to see.

So sorry Diane, I don't have the words for how much it hurts to see this, you have given so much to the people and kitties here, including me and Hen, and you don't deserve this pain and loss. Of course, deserve has nothing to do with it.

tears rolling down my face as I type this out, and not a tissue box in sight

:arghh:
Thank you Kyle, we can share the tissue boxes. I didn't want him to get any thinner than he was, plus it sounded like he might start having trouble breathing. I will love him forever my Boo Boo that's what I called him :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Aww thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ I'll make sure to look for those signs . Thank you again :bighug::bighug:

Thank you Karen for all these kind words, I'm happy we spoke last night. Talk soon my friend :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Surgery went good, not in any pain yet because he gave me a nerve block for pain. It should last for about 3 days, after that we shall see lol. Have to wear this sling for 2 weeks, what a pain , can't sleep on my back but I have to and put a pillow under the shoulder I had the surgery on. My back is killing me right now. After 3 days I can take the splint off to take this big bandage off and let the incisions air out. I can shower but I have to put waterproof bandaids on and then take them off. What an ordeal.
I'm sure my sister will love drying me off lol. My back is just killing me this morning. I never could sleep on my back. I see the DR on 9-11 for the follow up. I keep wanting to do things with my left hand lol
He will discuss physical therapy at the follow up

Thank you all for all the well wishes for my surgery

Are you a Lefty, Diane? I always say that all the best people ARE. I bet you can’t guess who else is a Lefty? ;)

Please accept my condolences on your loss. Fly free Tyler :rb_icon:
 
Diane, my heart is already (and still) heavy, but big tears as I read your post about Tyler Boo Boo. :bighug: I sometimes referred to Leo as "angel in fur." Our angels in fur await us. :rb_icon:

Best wishes for your shoulder surgery! I'm not on here much (FDMB) to catch your progress because I get sad about Leo and cry all over again. I am more likely to spot a Feline Diabetes FB group post, if you're there. God bless you!

Thank you Joni, You're right they are our Angels In Fur. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Diane I’m just now reading all this. I am so sorry. I know how hard it was. Sending you lots of hugs…
I’m glad your surgery went well and hope you will be in less pain once you’re healed. I myself get shots in my shoulder for pain trying to avoid surgery. Hoping it heals quickly and be painless forever after. Hugs and healing thoughts…

Aww thank you Deb, I'm really not in that much pain so far, hope it stays that way. :bighug::bighug:
 
Pozdravljena moja družina. Kot nekatere veste, je imel Tyler SCL in odločil sem se, da ga ne bom zdravil. Dobro mu je šlo, dajal sem mu B-12 in probiotike, driska se je izboljšala, še vedno je jedel in bil vesel. V ponedeljek zjutraj sem opazil, da je po njegovem mijavkanju zvenelo, kot bi izpihoval zrak. Potem ga hrana res ni zanimala. Poklicala sem urgento, kamor sem odpeljala Tylerja, ko je bil blokiran, in veterinar je rekel, da je zvenelo, kot da bi imel težave z dihanjem. Odločil sem se, da ga odpeljem tja in mu pomagam prečkati Mavrični most.
Bil je tako koščen in nisem želela, da trpi. Bilo je zelo nenavadno, da smo dobili istega veterinarja, ki mu je pomagal prenesti, kot smo ga imeli, ko je bil blokiran. Objela sem ga in mu rekla, da ga imam zelo rada in da mi je žal. Pokopan je bil na dvorišču moje sestre skupaj s pepelom Perryja, ki je bil njegov brat, in pepelom mojega drugega mačka Jakea.
Morda se sliši čudno, a zbližala naju je njegova sladkorna bolezen. Bil je tako dober fant, ko ga je bilo treba testirati in mu dati inzulin. Ni bil crkljiv, vendar sem ga dvignila in položila na posteljo z menoj na prsih ter ga pobožala po obrazu in res mu je bilo všeč. Poljubljal bi me na nos in čelo. Zdaj spet jočem. Ne morem se zahvaliti Marje, Wendy, Sienne, Suzanne, Bronu, Bhoomi, Elise in Carli za vse nasvete, ki ste jih mi dali, da Tylerja spravim v remisijo. Bilo je 3 leta in 4 mesece.
Vem, da je bil pripravljen podati.
Nenehno odpiram kuhinjsko pipo in mislim, da je še vedno tukaj.
Enostavno nisem imel denarja, da bi ga zdravil za SCL. Ko pomislim nazaj, se spomnim marca, da se je nekoliko šušal okoli hrbta in je mislil, da je to samo starost, tako da stavim, da je bil to začetek. Star je bil 16 v 5 mesecih.
Zelo sem ga imela rada, čeprav me je napadal po gležnjih, ko sem mu strigla nohte. Prejšnji mesec je bil zelo glasen. Klical sem ga Boo Boo.
Vem, da me zadnje čase ni bilo tukaj, vendar sem preveril vse mačke. Jutri imam operacijo rame, imam raztrganino. Res se ne veselim, vendar ne morem več prenašati bolečine. Pozneje se bom oglasil pri vseh vas. Upam, da so vse vaše mucke dobre in da pošiljajo molitve, če se ne počutijo dobro.
Pogrešam vas vse
Oh, Diane zdej sem prebrala in tako žalostna :(ko sem izvedla za Tylerja :rb_icon:Pošiljam ti veliko ljubezni in polno energije, da prebrodiš vse bolečine. Srečno in hitro okrevaj . Upam da si dobro.:bighug::bighug::bighug:

Thank you so much Seca. I miss him so so much. My shoulder surgery is coming along. I really have hardly no pain out all. I get the stitches removed on 9-11::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

@Šeča

Najlepša hvala Seca. Tako zelo ga pogrešam. Bliža se moja operacija rame. Res nimam nobenih bolečin. Šive mi odstranijo 9-11::bighug:

@Diane Tyler's Mom GA
I just saw your post today. I am so very sorry to read about Tyler's passing. I have no magic words for you but I am sending love and one armed hugs. I hope your surgery went well and that you are icing and keeping up with your pain meds. (I've had both a tear surgery and a total reverse replacement surgery and I think the tear was worse) Thank you for ALL of the help you've given me, you have saved my sanity more than once. :bighug:

@Diana, vsi ga bomo pogrešali Tylero. Želim ti hitro okrevanje in da bo operacija rame uspešna. Vsi te imamo radi, s tabo smo in hvaležni da si nam pomagala....za tebe:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Thank you so much for the update Diane! I am so glad the surgery went well Diane and I hope, the pain goes away soon and everything becomes easier. I send you some healing thoughts and hugs! :bighug::cat::bighug:
 
Ohhhh Diane, I'm so sorry to read this <3
I'm seeing this only now as I've been able to visit here much less. I know how much you loved Tyler, what a great companion he was for you and much you gave him.
He was blessed to have you as his mum.
I didn't know that he was sick. poor little baby. I love imagining you with Tyler on your chest, as you stroke him and give him nose kisses.
May he rest in peace :kiss:

I hope that the surgery went well and that you'll have a full recovery.
Sending you much love and care from me Fistuk and Prince :bighug::bighug::bighug:
