CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[awsum140]

Hope you guys are having a better than I am. I heard a commotion at the barn,ran out the door thought it had closed behind me,got half way there and heard a cat scream,turned around and Randy's dog had Pompeii. I grabbed Pompeii up called my vet and Dr Hernandez said to just watch Pom and not try to bring him in just yet that I may cause further shock as I have to drive 45mi to get there and then he may not could save Pom anyway if he has internal injuries and I'd be stuck with a huge vet bill.
I know it was an accident but all I could think of when I heard the commotion was one of the horse's had caught a hoof in between a panel or something,and didn't take that half second to check the door.
His eyes look Ok and he's moving around some,I've got him in my large walk in closet that has a window in it so he has a quiet place with food,water and his littler box but he's not eating or drinking,I wrapped him in a towel but he won's stay under it and so far his paws are warm. Dr. Hernandez says thats a good sign and just let him be for awhile. Then tonight I can give him a pain med.
I think Pomp needs IV fluids now, I'd rather him be put to sleep than hurt and I told my vet that but he says he wouldn't do anything different than what I am doing right now. Well he hasn't seen Pom how can he make that judgement, I told him I would even pay for a farm call if he'd come out here and look at him.
He told me to call him before they closed tonight,gave me his home phone number in case something changes.So what is he going to do tonight if I have to call ? What's the difference than taking Pom in now or tonight? He said trust him. Trust?!!!!
I wish Dr Click hadn't retired. He might tell me the same thing but Dr Click could always make my heart hurt less. I'm so stupid,I shouldn't even be allowed to have animals,I'm too careless

Sorry to hear Pom has a problem Raynes. Don't blame yourself, though I suspect you will anyway. You did what your instincts demanded and so did Randy's dog. Just an unfortunate accident and cats are pretty tough. Let her rest and she'll probably be OK. What was the commotion in the barn?

Raynes, I agree with Raven and Awsum here. You can't blame yourself for this. You were in fire mode at the time and, as Awsum said, the dog was responding on instinct. Please don't place blame on yourself.

Keep your eye on Pomp, but I wouldn't be surprised if Pomp was more shaken up than anything. Give it time and keep your thoughts positive. We're here if you need to talk.

I hesitate to tell this, you will all know I'm nuts for sure. This past spring I had the flu or something, really knocked me down like nothing ever had. Even though I was so so ill, I was still smoking my normal amount of cigarettes, hacking and cursing that I could not even put this nasty habit aside when I KNEW it was making things worse. I spent a lot of time sleeping/resting in bed waiting for my strength to return and happened to find an online radio show to listen to. The host was getting coaching on ecigs (Ego, get an ego...lol) from a caller and this planted the seed for me. I didn't do anything right away but google at times over the next week or so, but each time I did I was thinking this might be the way for me to get off the cigs. That is how I found ECF and all the reviews.

Me being me, I was drawn to COLORS, bling, wraps, gems! That is how I found SI. Still I did not place an order, I was worried that there was something I was missing and so I put it off until I googled some more. Can't say I understood half of what I read, but I had no one to discuss this with so I just kept trying to figure things out. Ohms, resistance, pg, vg, 510, 808, atomizers, what the heck??

Then I had a dream, in it I was receiving an IM from someone and watched the message appear word by word on the screen. "Have another cigarette Nancy" I knew it was said with sarcasm. Was kind of scary for me. I mean denial only works for so long then you have to face facts, right? Sooo, needless to say, I ordered my volts that day. I made a decently large order too, to kind of force myself to use them, spending my cigarette money.

Needless to say, I made the right decision and haven't looked back. Took me a few days to finish the pack I had open and I really didn't want or need to open a fresh pack. I have to give a special thank you to Rave. I came across a photo of her collection someplace in the middle of my google searches, led me straight to SI!

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I know it sounds a bit out there with the dream and all, but it is what it is and pretty typical for me, lol.

Welcome

It doesn't sound "out there" at all to me,,,,,,

I had a friend die a year ago from smoking,,,,,,,

I dreamed that she came to me and told me to quit smoking and that I HAD TO get an electronic cigarette,,,,,,

I got one.

Now THAT'S out there!

A big bird flew under the barn and spooked the horses.

 

[lilac7779]

I'm so sorry, Raynes. You are being too hard on yourself. I said a prayer that Pompeii will be all right. Keep us updated, please.

 

[CommaHolly]

Raynes,,,,,,,,you forced the bird in there, I suppose?? Seriously, honey, my grandmother used to say "with kids and animals, accidents are going to happen, nothing you can do about it except limit them as much as possible."

Hugs.

[awsum140]

Hope it works out Raynes. pets become so important.

DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP but I just got 5cc's of tuna juice down Pomps he drank it out of a syringe on his own. That's the only thing he has taken since he got hurt. Dr Click says that cats are desert animals and that a little liquid will go a long way,IDK.
