I am sorry that I have not been commenting in anyone's journal lately. I just don't feel like it. Sad truth but there it is. My mind is on so many other things. My parents you know about. But now there is their cat. Yep, little old Sara has been attacking mom some and even started to go after dad. So off to the vet Sara went. Have to make sure nothing is physically wrong that is making her misbehave. Dr B couldn't find anything wrong. So it must be psychological in nature. Great. He says the only thing to try is to see if some hormone shot will help her with whatever is going on. If the shot helps then she will need to get one every 2 weeks or so. If it doesn't work.......well her condition will only get worse and we can't have her attacking mom. So we will have to have Sara put to sleep. It is really sad.
And next......couple weeks ago I went for my yearly exam with the GYN doctor. He drew blood. Didn't like what showed up so I had to go to my internist today. Great news, I have diabetes. No "pre-diabetes", Dr G says he's calling it diabetes. But before "we throw medicine" at it I have to see a specialist and make some "lifestyle" changes. I know I have to do it, but I don't know if I can. I have depression also and that fights against all the things I need to do because of the diabetes. Exercise? Sounds easy enough to walk for 30 minutes a day, but depression makes it hard to get up and get dressed much less exercise.
If it sounds like it, it is. I am throwing myself a big old pity party today. All are invited. Party must end before morning though.
Oh! My neighbors a few doors down were robbed over Christmas. Lots of stuff stolen, even a gun is gone. Lucky no one was home when the houses (yep, houses -- 2 of them) were robbed.
I need to get a dog. A guard dog. And one that would force me to go out and walk it everyday.

Well, you did make a funny at the end! So see? Writing about a pity party isn't necessarily a bad thing!
Thanks for inviting me along. Mysery loves company so they say. And I am in a snit this week. For one reason or another. LOL
Happy New Year Kathy!
Maybe you should mention to the internist that it is difficult for you to stick to lifestyle changes. Cannot remember how old your parents' cat is, but has anything changed in the house? Would be a shame to have it put down, but if that's what it takes, then that what it takes :-/
Awww You need a hug....I'd give you one if I could.
Scary to live near a crime scene....and I feel so sad for those people....
I'm sooo sorry to hear all about this. Were they not checking your sugar before to catch it in the pre-stage so that you could have done something or gone on the pills first? I know that if you can drop weight that usually does make a difference. Sometimes there is nothing you can do, some people just get it genetically. I would go to a specialist though. Also, stress does raise it. Did you fast good before you took the test?
Sorry for the bad news...yet if it "whips" you into better health then that isn't terrible. Go get the dog!! And share pics!

I'm afraid I have diabetes also. I'm putting off going to the dr till after the new year. I was "pre" diabetes last year, but i'm having some issues and both my sisters have it so I'm afraid I'm doomed! Sorry about your parents cat. Wonder what is making it act the way it is? Take care of yourself.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
I LOVE Pity Parties! And I'm so glad you invited me to yours! I've never invited anyone to my pity parties before. This is MUCH MORE fun! :)
BTW: A dog is a GREAT IDEA. And as one who suffers from depression and MS, I can speak from experience that my dog helps with the depression before she even gets me outside. Nothing makes you feel like the greatest thing since sliced bread like a good dog!
bummer
well youi know I barely ever get out
I also have diabetes - that I can help you with as I have it well controlled. Email if you want.
Bummer about cat.........hope the Vet can help
Walking is good exercise. I need it badly too ! Hopefully I'll find some decent days this winter to get out and do that. I don't get much exerecise at all.
Dogs are great company and have always made me feel safer. Good luck with your self improvements, it's not any easy job, but not impossible. 'On Ya' - ma
Pity party? Eh -- I have those all the time and they suck. 2008 just has to be a good year. It MUST!

don't worry about having a pity party...it is truly OKAY!!!
Depression seems to bring on that so easily.....
I am so sorry for the diagnosis of Diabetes...I am afraid I am not too far behind...but right now - I cannot even think about that.
As far as your parent's cat.....that seems awfully odd....there has to be more to it...I have never heard of such a thing!
Well you know I am only an email away or a IM away...anytime you need a shoulder or an ear...
do not worry about not leaving comments or visiting journals...sometimes you just have to step back and do whatever your head is allowing you to without forcing things!
Peace--Ellie

Sorry I am late to the pity party. I would have comiserated right along with you, my friend. I suffered from depression many years ago and know what you mean when you say you do not even want to get out of bed. However, I'm late and the pary is over! So, my mission today is to wish you a very Happy New Year! Regardless of how you feel right now, I am wishing for you all the best in 2008. Email me anytime you want if you need to discuss depression. Just know there are a lot of us out here who are not going to give you up and we will glady try and be here for you if you ever need us to be.
Sam
Dogs are great stress relievers sweetie. And yes, it will get you out of the house which is a good thing! I can relate about the depression...really I can.
I hope things get easier for you, and the sun shines a little brighter for you soon.
Love,
Connie
Wanted to stop by & wish you a Happy New Year, my old friend. Hope this year is a good one for us all.
Big hugs,
Sugar
