Oh Gosh, When It Rains, It Really Does Pour....

I honestly don't know where to begin. I can say this, I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I'm so exhausted. Sometimes I wish I wasn't even born. I'm serious. That's not a way of digging for attention, quite the contrary. Just getting it off of my chest is all. Anyway, it seems that mom did have a mini stroke. We're not sure on this but everything sure does point to it. She won't go to the emergency room because she says "Why? What can they do about it? Nothing." I'm not a nurse or a doctor so I don't know what they can and ca not do so I don't know what to tell her. She can't remember phone numbers or names of people she's known for some time, whether it's been 3 years or 10. I've typed up a list of the most important phone numbers for her in case she's in need of help in a hurry and am taking it to her this afternoon. It'll include her home phone number, dad's cell, my home, cell and hubby's cell as well as my brothers information and their wives. Another paper will include her neighbors.
The next thing is, my parents have this little tiny house beside theirs that is attached to the drive thru carport and they've rented it out to these people who are absolutely insane! Well, the wife is anyway. She's cussed out my mom a month or so ago and she's driven her husband's truck a short distance and drove a UPS truck off the road and herself into a ditch. When dad got her husband (after a phone call from the neighbors) and took him up there, she cussed and screamed more and more at her husband and then at dad. Friday and Saturday, she went out in the driveway and screeched and screamed bloody murder! She was alone while doing this. I mean, this woman is nuts!! According to her husband, he's tried to have her committed 30 -35 times but no one will take her. We all don't know how much truth is in that. Mom and dad had already evicted them once and about two weeks later, they begged and pleaded for them to let them stay so mom and dad gave them one more chance and let it be known that it was their LAST chance and that's it. Things were fine for about a month, give or take, and now it's the same ole thing all over again. On Monday when I went with them both to their doctors appointments, they were adamant about evicting them and now they're like, "I don't know, we really need the money" I told them that I'd pay the amount of rent they're paying until they find someone else to rent the place just get them out of there before they kill them! But they say "nooo no no no because you can't afford it!" but I told them that I'll manage it because I want them more than any amount of money this world could give me and knowing that the husband has a gun, the wife is liable to get it and shoot everybody in her path!! They won't hear of it. I just don't know what to do! Damn it all!! I called my oldest brother and told him which he's not one bit happy about it and said he'll talk to dad about it. I hope he gets through their thick skulls because I sure as hell can't!
As for Lil Tux my cat, he was mixed up with 3 other cats and taken home by someone else and let free and now I can't even so much as find him not alone catch him. We went back out, yesterday, to the place he's last known to be and again, we didn't see any sign of him at all. We reset the traps and secured them to the ground so they won't roll over as they have before and put tuna fish inside. So far, no word from the lady who's keeping an eye on them so I guess Lil Tux hasn't gotten in it yet.... if he's even in the area anymore. I just pray to God that I eventually get him back some day some how and that he's ok.
As for my arm, it did get infected and I had to go to the emergency room in which they gave me some really strong antibiotics. I still have a fever which is making me hot one moment and freezing cold the next. It'll go away in time with the antibiotics but still, having this on top of everything else.
Now a note to all of you my dearest friends!! Last week I was and still am sooooooo unbelievably behind in answering your responses to MY OWN discussions and some of your discussions as well! I was working on responding to your discussions and then was going to work in your responses to my discussions after I got all caught up. I had 6 pages of discussions! 6!!! and I had gotten it down to 2. God only knows how many pages I have now but I so want you all to know that I have NOT forgotten you and WILL respond when I can!! I promise I will answer and that you ARE very important to me!! My hands are so full right now that I can't even think straight so please please bear with me!! I have NOT and will NOT forget you!!

Oh my! Your mom really needs to go to the Dr., a mini stroke can be a warning before another big one. There are things they can do to help prevent one. You need to calm yourself down, before you have one too. As for Lil Tux, maybe he is on his way home. They have been known to just show back up. I think I would concentrate more on the other things and hope for the best. Take one day at a time.

Mom won't go to the doctor and dad doesn't help either, he just takes a step back and shakes his head in disbelief. They have the weirdest relationship I've ever seen because they'll fight about this or that but other things it's a case of he's the boss or she's the boss. So he won't stand up to her on this and for the life of me, I don't know why.
Mom said today she doesn't know if they're going to evict the nut cases or not so I'm backing out. What ever the hell happens, happens. I've tried and since I'm not there 24/7 I don't know when the nutty woman will start her nonsense again to call the police so it's up to mom and dad.
Lil Tux is 50 miles away from me. I'm to the north of the clinic and the lady that got him is south of the clinic so he won't be coming back unless someone befriends him and gets him back to the lady that got him or he's trapped. I'm so worried about him because he looked terrible when he first came to me and I got him looking so much better and much healthier and now he's going to return to that if someone doesn't catch him.
As for the bite, I know Lil Tux didn't mean to do it but he was just so scared out of his mind so I don't fault him at all. It's infected because I'm running a fever for a couple of days now but it'll get better in the next day or two. I hope.

...Hi CatsandDogs, You are need of a mini-vacation, or definitely a time out, before you yourself break. Get some herbal tea and relax. The tenants are a danger to your mom and dad, you know that, hopefully your brother can help get them out.
Take care of yourself.

Hi artistry, welcome to mylot! Ummmm, I need a new LIFE!! lol I had a mini vacation last month and got to meet another mylotter and had a wonderful time. We went to see the Georgia Aquarium and had a blast! I'm in need of another one but don't see that happening any time soon though.
Mom doesn't know if they're going to evict those two nut cases or not so for that reason, I'm backing out. I've had enough of them pushing us away for the past two years that we're backing up some more. They'll have to figure out why I don't call AGAIN or this time I just might tell them!

First and foremost you HAVE to get your Mom to medical help. Whether it is the ER or a doctor appointment. Having a mini stroke is like having a mini earthquake. It is a signal that stronger and more serious ones are to come SOON!!! There is a lot that they can do for a person who has had a mini stroke, as I can testify by my wonderful elderly neighbor lady. She had a mini stroke and had bad speech problems. They put her on blood thinners and dissolved the clot that lodged in the vein in her brain. Her speech has improved 1000% !!! If your Mom is anxious to be a vegetable or have a major stroke, she only needs to ignore this one.
Next, the crazy neighbors may have contributed to her stroke. The stress of having an insane lady screaming in the next yard is a great contributor to higher blood pressure, heart problems, stress, nausea, anxiety and more. They need to get the people out of the rental ASAP! Before the insane woman causes your Mom to have another stroke.
I am fairly sure that Lil Tux is in the same area. Just give him a few days and he should show up again. I know that the waiting is not only frustrating but it is painful too. But remember that he will show up to the woman's house, and he must be showing up as she is feeding cats and he knows where the food is. Also, since you are taking antibiotics you are emitting a different odor, and Lil Tux may be picking up on the difference...which will make him more skittish about coming around.
As for answering posts, you need to take care of you first. Taking care of you means taking time away from the lot and letting the infection get under control. You aren't going to do anyone any good if you get any sicker. Each of us Lotters understand your position and are going to be patient about your responding.
Please take care of you, and for me; get your Mom to medical help...let her know that what happened isn't a small thing that it can affect her life now and in the future. A mini stroke is a sign of a impending larger stroke... and neither are to be ignored.

Try telling my mom that Loverbear. She won't listen. And the woman went nuts on mom again and they called the cops but nothing was done! I called my brothers to get help and mom is upset with me for doing that!! I can't win for nothing!! It does seem never ending no matter what I do, and no matter what I do, it's never right. Oh cleaning their house is GREAT according to them but anything else isn't or so it seems. Have you seen my latest discussions? Lil Tux has been seen on Sunday! I'm hoping that now we have a bunch of flyers out, someone is bound to catch him and call us. I can only hope so anyways. There's a lot of coyotes out here that are killing cats and I pray to God that Lil Tux doesn't meet with that fate. That would just devastate me if I were to ever find out.

BTW, how are you doing? Infections from cat bites aren't fun (I had one too...so much for my helping that cat! He really tore me up for getting the wound open so that the fox tail could come out. It was a friend's cat and the friend is about as useful as a pig on stilts!)
Now, about your Mom. Since she is obviously competent, there isn't too much you can do about forcing her to the doctor. That's what cost my Mom her life so early. She wasn't well and she REFUSED to go to a doctor. As they told me in the hospital (after she had to be airlifted by helicopter from my home to the hospital) if the person is mentally competent they can refuse treatment and nothing can be done about it by ANYONE, unless the family wants to go through the hurrah of going to court to get the person judged mentally incompetent. Man would our Mom's have their back hair up if we tried that!!! You Mom sounds like mine and you just have to sigh, shake your head, and learn to let go and live with it. It has to be the hardest thing on the face of the earth to do, but sometimes as children (assuming the role of adult to our parents switching places and becoming the children) we have to let go and let our parents make their own mistakes.
Now for the insane neighbors. I wouldn't stand for it, and would find a way to evict them. But your parents apparently feel sorry for the couple and are willing to put up with the crap. The one thing is that if the police are called enough about the woman, they eventually will do something. Unfortunately it seems like the legal system is on the side of the insane at times. But the one thing is that if the woman assaults her husband then she will end up with having to get help without any choice in the matter.
Willy is currently laying on my left arm, staring at the screen, waiting for me to tell you that he is sending his hello's and purring his love. Unfortunately it is very difficult to type with a 14 pound kitty on your arm! 
He has been my constant companion for the past week with my fighting what turned out to be bronchitis. I thought it was a simple cold...dumb me! When I started coughing up blood Bill took me to the doctor today, and I am on the tail end of the mess. But at least I am getting better. But it is amazing to me how he kept track of me and if he felt I should be in bed and I was up he would chew me out in his cat-a-tude until I crawled back in bed and he would lay down beside me holding me down with his head on my ribs. I'm sure he was having fits today as I wasn't home for most of the day.
I wish there was more I could offer for you in dealing with your parents. I learned a long time ago to chose my battles and make sure that I selected the ones I knew I could win. I never did get that through to my Mom. She would go where angels feared to tread. Before you enter into the frey with the renters again, do some research on line...there may be something that can be done legally. Unfortunately each state seems to have different laws about renters and property owners. All I can do is send my love and hugs and hopes that things will clear up.

Cats, don't worry about us here. You have other issues that are more pressing and you need to rest and take care of yourself so you'll heal as fast as possible. Stress is a horrible thing and can cause all kinds of problems, one of which is reduction of the immune system.
If you don't get to everyone's discussions or responding to their comments to your discussions, don't worry about it. I think we all understand that you are just inundated with issues right now that need your attention more than we do!
Let your brother handle the problem with your parents' renters, the woman who got Lil Tux take care of things on that end, and you concentrate on getting well. That's all you need to do right now. If your mother won't go to the doctor's (I don't think she needs to go to the emergency room at this point in time), let that be her decision. Just relax, rest and enjoy the company of your mother as best you can. You can get back to us when you're ready. DO NOT let myLot stress you any more! We know where your head's at and we know what is going on and, if anyone doesn't understand, then they shouldn't be considered friends.
Just try to relax and get well. Stress will only add to your problems. Deal with what you have control over right now and nothing else. Take one thing at a time and you'll get through this.
We're with you in spirit so let that be enough for now. Come here when you feel comfortable with it and don't let it add more stress. Okay?

Hi Marti! You know the update already so you know calling my brothers for help is a big NO NO. I'm in the dog house for doing that. OH FREAKEN WELL!! Am I to shoulder the burden alone? Hell no! Nor will I!

Your hands are indeed very full, my friend. It sounds like you are at the breaking point and really need a break!! As far as your parents go, I think that they are putting themselves in direct line of danger by not evicting that couple and finding new tenants. They may be worried about more than just the money too. Maybe, your father is worreid that if they evict those people they will come back and do harm later. That would be something that he probably would not want to admit to you. I hope that your brother van help you out with this one.
If your mother had a min-stroke, chances are there really is nothing that the doctor can do, especially this long after the fact. The only thing you can really do now is watch her. Chances are, unfortunately that she will end up having a bigger stroke, but, if she gets to the hospital in time, thy can administer clot busters to help stop any lasting effects.
Your arm is a cause for concern. How long have you been taking anti-biotics? You should not be running a fever if you have been on them for at least three days! If you are, go back to the doctor, please beofre the inferction gets any worse. There are times when the anti-biotic that is prescribed doesn't work at all and you need something different.
Now, your cat. If the little guy is outdoors, he may very well be trying to find his way back to you. Cats are notorious for that. Keep your hopes up and don't be surprised at all if he just happens to show up on your doorstep.
Last but not least, with all that you are dealing with, and as much as we all like to do our very best to keep up here, none of us is perfect, me included. I think that this should be last on your list of priorities and really, don't worry if you don't get yourself caught up. Look at how many of us never get caught up here.
In the meantime, I wish you the best with all you are dealing with, and I will keep you in my prayers. In the words of my Dad, "If you cannot control the situation, try not to worry about it. Worry about what you can control." (Yeah, right, I can't do it either)

I am not a Doctor but I do know that your mom is wrong on thinking there is nothing they can recommend after a mini-stroke - there is plenty they can do. A mini-stroke is a warning signal that her health needs to be assessed and altered as soon as possible.
Call your local community care facility, or social services. They are often looking for rental properties for their clients. Give the crazies the boot before you all end up in the psych ward together!
Find ways to get your stress level under control as well. Stress is a silent killer, and something that cannot be taken lightly.

Try putting yourself in my shoes for a moment, ok? I'm trying my best to get back with everyone just as I had promised and if it means copying what I already said and posting it here, then I responded the best that I could. Besides, saying the same thing over and over again in a different way, beats the purpose of trying to respond to everybody who cared enough to respond to my post. No pun intended at all. I was merely trying to show you as well as everyone else, I do care what you have to say and by doing that, I've responded. Besides, that's what a copy and paste is, a copy of the same comment to another to you as well.

Uhm, I didn't mind the cut and paste at all, that is until I noticed you did the same thing to three of us, even though we were all saying different things!
I understand completely if you are stressed and looking for answers from friends only. If that is the case, I would rather you ignore my post completely; I have never been good at dealing with accepting stock answers or form letters. It kind of makes me feel like I wasted my time.
I was just trying to help, ya know? I really do hope things calm down and get better for you soon, truly I do.

I think things could be resolved IF my parents would listen to us for a moment or two in all aspects of their lives. I mean, if we are going to be a part of their lives in the way that we are, then we should have some say on how it goes but we don't and instead, we hear a bunch of griping and the like. I've made some new discussions or updated ones that is, if you'd like, check them out. Thanks for your prayers! I wish you the best as well!

As for mom, she is so damned stubborn that it isn't funny. So what ever happens, happens. SO BE IT!! (Know what I mean?) A person can only do so much before they have to wash their hands of it and that's just what I've done. I just have to or lose my damned mind. Mom told me today that she doesn't know if they're going to evict those nut cases or not. I'm beside myself over that too but damn it all, I can't be at their house 24/7 to witness it and call the police so it's up to them.
Maybe their neighbors will get tired of it and call the law. I wish someone would!
Get this crap, when that nut woman was going off, dad told mom to call the police, mom in turn told him to call and he said no you call.
Oh good grief!! Grow up you two!! Call the damned police so they can pack that nut in a shell and be off with her!!

Hi Cats,
I am so sorry you have been through all this. You should have wrote me about it! I am always here for you to talk to.
Did your kitty come back yet? I will pray for you for that. I know I would be sick with worry. What about your arm? Is it better?
I think your mom should definetly see a doctor. It is her health! And I know she has other problems to.
If I were your parents, I would kick these renters out immediately. They are just causing more stress for them. And for you.
Are you feeling better? I really hope you are.
Sorry I haven't been on, but Ive been sick.
Let us know how it is!!

Hi lagirl.... No, I haven't gotten my cat back yet. We passed out a bunch of flyers in hopes someone will get him and call us. My arm is much better now. Mom won't see a doctor no matter how much we tell her she needs to. The renters are in the process of moving now and have about another truck load or two to go before they finish.... Thank God!!
I'm really sorry you've been so sick! But am glad to see you're back on your feet again.... or getting there at least but you're back on here!

PLEASE GET MOM THE HELP SHE DESERVES
First of all, where is your dad thru all this stroke business?
Do not let mom tell you that stuff, get dad's help. He is actully the only one who can get her in the hospital legally.
But, mom needs help.
She could have a much more severe stroke and be much worse off. I am a nurse but am not sure to what extent mom has been effected, but do know they can help her and prevent her from having another ,more major stroke.
She could be effected badly enough to forget you and the whole family, wander off and or even die.
I don not intend at this point to talk about lil tux, just mom.
The cat is ok, and is taking care of himself.
YOU, get DAD and get mom the help she deserves !!!
I am quite sure there are lots of members out there who agree with me, but since you are so far behind on answering mails, you won't read this very quickly will you?
PLEASE, GET MOM THE HELP SHE DESERVES

Now is the time to get social services involved.
You have no other choices unless mom as given someone power of attorney.
You dad could have that---but doubt it.
You need to get mom to dr.and social services will realize how mom is reacting.
that is the best advice I have.
So sorry. But you will be glad if you can get her help.

Awww hon. Is this mountain of a mess ever going to stop growing? I'm so sorry you're going through so very much. I really hope mom and dad get those people out of the house soon. That HAS to be adding so much stress to their lives. I don't think I could handle it that's for sure. And good luck finding Lil Tux. I'm praying he's safe and sound. Sending you lots n lots of big warm hugs hon. ((((((((((Cats))))))))))

Have you seen my latest discussions? Lil Tux has been seen on Sunday! I'm hoping that now we have a bunch of flyers out, someone is bound to catch him and call us. I can only hope so anyways. There's a lot of coyotes out here that are killing cats and I pray to God that Lil Tux doesn't meet with that fate. That would just devastate me if I were to ever find out.

I am sorry to hear that you are having so many problems. Life tends to do that sometime, as if one problem isn't enough! I call these periods my "dark nights" and take comfort from the fact that all darkness eventually gives way to the light.
I feel that your Mom really ought to get medical attention if you think she has had a mini-stroke. They can help a lot and give her advice to help her avoid having another one.
I hope that all the problems your parents have been having with the woman who is renting from them, get resolved. When health is involved, it's really not worth the trouble of having somebody cuss and scream..

I'm pasting what I've said in the before pages, hope you don't mind!
Try telling my mom that. She won't listen. And the woman went nuts on mom again and they called the cops but nothing was done! I called my brothers to get help and mom is upset with me for doing that!! I can't win for nothing!! It does seem never ending no matter what I do, and no matter what I do, it's never right.

Dear Cats please do not worry about us here, we can be at the bottom of your priority list; I’m sure all your friends here will agree that you have more pressing things going on in your life right now like your mum; I pray that somebody talks her into going to the hospital, if she had a mini stroke surely she can’t just leave it at that and not get a medical assessment!
I am so sorry that life is so stressful for you right now, I wonder why things always keep going wrong one after the other; I’ve had periods like that as well and you do wonder when it’s all going to end. It will get better I’m sure, it’s a matter of hanging in there but I guess that’s easy for me to say!
As far as Lil Tux goes, I am still praying you will get him back, keep putting the traps out and hope for the best...I also hope your brother can talk your parents into getting rid of the nutcases living on their property; they’re not what they need at the moment.
Last but certainly not least you’ve got to take care of your own health, if your fever doesn’t subside real soon GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR! That’s an order! (LOL)
I will keep the prayers going for you, keep us posted and please, please take care of yourself and your mum!
HUGS

You're very welcome! I hope you stay a while and enjoy making new friends!! A lot of really nice people are on here! Anyway, yeah, I've had to regroup once again since I'm in the dog house once again. Such is life, ya know?

Blah, wow, you're not kidding about when it rains it pours. All I can say is that know that good things always happen to balance out the bad, even if they're not right away, and from the way things are looking from here, you should have something very wonderful happening later, or possibly just a very long period of time in which small good things happen and build up. And please try not to worry too much, you can make yourself sick that way (or sicker .
