Of all the animals to take me down, I never would have guessed it would be a CAT. 🐈⬛🤦♀️
First, I want to thank everyone who has sent well wishes, checked in, offered help, stepped up when I needed it, and kept me in your thoughts. I can’t even begin to put into words what this past week has been like or how much all of your kindness has meant to me. ❤️
If you know my story, you may know that my biological mother had Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Because of everything I’ve been through, I tend to question myself whenever I get hurt or feel like I need to see a doctor. I second-guess myself and wonder if I’m overreacting.
So, of course, it took some convincing to get me to go to the doctor, let alone the ER. 😂 To say I let a few choice words fly when I found out I was being admitted would be an understatement. I honestly thought the whole thing was a joke.
Then came the panic attacks. I started worrying about not being able to work, who was going to take care of the horses, and how everything was going to get done while I was stuck in the hospital. Ahhh! 😩🐴
Once I finally wrapped my head around being there, I thought, Okay, let’s get this over with.
HA. WRONG.
Then came the allergic reactions to antibiotics, IVs (THREE in two days because they kept burning my arm), my already terrible veins making everything more difficult (thanks, past trauma 🙄), SIX blood draws in three days, and one thing after another.
ALL. BECAUSE. OF. A. CAT. 🐈
I was grumpy. I tried my best to be kind through it all, and by the last day, I somehow earned the nurses’ Best Patient Award. 😂🏆 So I guess I wasn’t that bad!
But seriously, I am SO glad to be home. I’ve been able to sit down, read everyone’s messages, and really take in all the love and support you’ve shown me. I’m beyond grateful for every single one of you. You have no idea how much it means to know so many people care. ❤️
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to enjoy being home, recovering, and getting back to my life and my horses.
And please, for the love of all things holy…
AVOID CAT BITES. 🚨🐈
Seriously. Don’t brush them off. Cat bites can cause serious infections, so please get medical advice promptly if you’re bitten, especially if the bite breaks the skin.
Never in a million years did I think a CAT would be the thing to land me in the hospital. But here we are. 🤦♀️😂❤️
Thank You BBSER Family, you are truly the best
Much Love ♥️
