what a day sunday was...

my mum rang early yesterday morning and i ignored it.... i know :tilly: i shouldnt really do that, but for the past two weeks shes been ringing and moaning about he cat and her husband...

a few weeks ago the cat really hurt its leg, and her husband said they couldnt aford to take it to the vets.... after a week of listening to my mum panicking and moaning about it i went over and thought i would scare them.... i told them that if they didnt take the cat soon, someone would report them to the rspca and they would get fined and the cat taken off them and they would be in the papers :2431: .... this certainly worked as they took her to the vets the next day,much to my mums relief!!....

well............

the bill has come to over £500 so far..which is way more than they can afford... when i rang the practice they told me in my mums situation they would come to some agreement and work out a weekly payment....

... when my mum and her husband went to the vets, they changed their mind.... the cat still got the treatment though and then the panic set in...how would they pay for it
the vet even went to their house and asked for £200, my mums husband wrote a cheque out and went over drawn for it...

to cut a long story short, its been playing on his mind...(hes 71)... and yesterday he finally flipped...

he was peeking through the letterbox and saying the men are coming.... he was threatening to hang himself.. and he kept telling my mum to pack her bags as they had to leave....my mum was absolutely petrified, my brother has gone away with the army, and i have no transport... she not all that well (in the head) and struggles with life as it is!!

eventually the ambulance came out, they assessed him and said he was to see the doctor the next day, as my mum went out to wave them off, her husband followed her out, and shut the door and said they were now homeless the men had evicted them, they had a struggle as my mum tried to get back in, but hes a strong man.... luckily the paramedics saw this and decided to take him to hospital...

im hoping hes going to get treatment and my mums finally worked out where they have taken him :2431: at 9pm last night she still had no phone call to say where he was....

bloomin parents who would have them....

and to top it off i have tooth ache again

god Shell how worrying for you


Is this all come to a head because of the vets bill and the worry of paying it

Don't they qualify for help with payment? Surely the vets will show a little understanding when they realise what has happened


Sorry about all this hun and your toothache, that's all you need hun

yes sange all this is because of the bloody vets bill!!!! there is no pdsa where they live and then vets told them they werent in the catchment area for derby pdsa ....

i shouldnt but i keep chuckling when i think of him peering through the letterbox looking for the white van :2431:

my mum has rang the hospital this morning, they put her on hold while they went to fetch someone to speak to her.... half an hour later still no one came to the phone, so she put the phone down in the end

her husband has got all the money and the gas and electric cards in his wallet.... so at the moment she has nothing...

never rains but it pours 1angry

god what a fuddle all this is

So your mom has no idea what they are doing with him, when he will be home or what is happening

nope :2431: ... shes bloomin useless sange.... i have to get her to write things down to make sure she asks people the right stuff!!...

if nothings sorted im going to have to go over tomorrow

what a worry for you hun

shes just rang.... she got through to the hospital, hes sitting up in bed... laughing, that'll be the medication :2431: .... theyre waiting to take him through for a brain scan to see whats going on!

I think I could do with some of that medication then

Jeez Shell,what a situation hun,theres always bloomin something
to worry about. Hope something gets sorted for them.

me too sange ....
cheers jan
bless him, i wonder if theyve burnt his clothes, hes had them on for days, he wouldnt take them off :2431: ..
my mums had a lovely soak in the bath....she hasnt had one for days, he wouldnt let her...he said she was going to meet men.. he even stood in the doorway when she went to the toilet

i hope they find something wrong, so they can fix it, if you kwim

yea I do know what you mean, so that they can get back to normal without anymore worries

.... if they find nothing but send him home.... nothings going to change, the next bit of worry and he will be back to square one ...

they need to make a repeat prescription out for nerve pills or something like that, my mum would be able to fetch them for him and make sure he takes them, even if its only a few its better than nothing, hes bad with pills as it is :2431:

I wish her luck hun

shes just rang AGAIN lol.... and shes managed to get in touch with his daughter, so shes going to go and see him in hospital.. phew lol!

the hospital has just rang about tias appointment on the 17th march.... theve had to postpone it until the 7th april (rolls eyes)... the surgeon is ill!!

it's all hectic in your house hun

i know :2431: .... it was fooked up feb, now its mad march ....

im sure doing my good deed up at the kennels has jinxed me :2431:

oh------my-----god-------- Shelley
how do you cope
bet you feel like running away with all this happening to you and your brother and OH away. i really hope your Mum gets things sorted with her husband
what a bloody worry tho and you now have toothache
i'm not surprised tho are you?? it must be all that you have been doing lately.
and Tia's appointment canceled ffs they always say the surgeon is ill it's happened to Melissa last week and my OH this week, they just make excuses for double booking errors imo or icantbe-arseditas
I hope the cats ok now anyway

icantbe-arseditas sounds about right Karen

yea i reckon hes got cantbearseditis .... i'll rip his bloody molars out ... my OH has just phoned and says he feels guilty being away and stress free :2431: .... yeah like feck he does!!!!

ive got me painkillers and antibiotics now, so im ready to rock and roll... the dentist reckons it oculd have flared up because im feelin run down and my immune system is low .... he could be right, so ive bought some multi vitamins :2431:

bloody hell Shell, it doesnt rain but it pours doesnt it hun! what a time you've had.

thank goodness im made of strong stuff jude

sorry to hear about ur troubles shelley.
but never heard of having to be in a pdsa catchment area
they are a charity and will treat animals from any where
think vet is just rip off merchant what treatment did he give for £500

my brother said the same kenny.... he said they would treat animals from any area

the cat had to have x-rays on her leg and then an operation to fix the dislocation and have the leg plastered up!....

the vet is a bit of an arse form the sounds of it... he asked my mum if he could go round and check on the cat as he lived nearby her and when he got there he didnt look at the cat once, he just asked for £200 up front, my mum said, are you not looking at the cat, he said glanced over and said oh yea she looks fine!!

think i would complain to vet ass about him coming to house to get money up front
he prob charged it as house call

What a vet I wouldn't be happy with that
