Could Use Some Postive Vibes

Over the summer my kitty Lucybell has been dealing a variety of health issues. She's always had tummy problems, suffering from mega-colon, in which she's on medicine. During the last couple months we have had a horrible time with fleas. She's an indoor kitty, but this summer has been unreal. We bombed the apartment, gave her Frontline , but it was like an all out war. New fleas would invade even if all the others died.

She got a tapeworm as a result of the fleas, (they're carriers apparently) and it took a few weeks to battle that. Between the tapeworm and the fleas she's lost a lot of weight.

The last couple days she hasn't left my side. She won't eat, she looks miserable, and I just have this gut feeling that she's in a bad way.

Hubby is taking her to the vet tomorrow and I would really appreciate it if you guys could send positive vibes this way. She's ten years old, but she’s a robust Maine Coon, and until this, a very vibrant, healthy cat.

It doesn't sound dumb at all. I totally understand and always lived off cash only until a few years ago. I'm heading back in that direction, because I spend too much money with credit cards.

We're almost there as far as taking baby steps. We pay bills online using reloadble Visa Cards, thus ensuring we're still sticking to cash so to speak.

I think we're a year out fro geting out from under the rock after almost four years.

It will be a long time before we're done with out student loans. *sigh*

I'm nowhere near on the collge loans.Sigh. My hubby had cancer when he was 25. Add using credit cards to pay for basic needs, the car dying, and getting one of those loans with a 28% interest rate to fix it...and well, it snowballed and snowballed.

We started over when we moved to Buffalo four years ago and we're almost to the point where we don't worry as much.

That sounds so stressful. D:
