Cass,
I'm glad you are still here.
You shared about your dog. I have two dogs myself. But it is my older dog that has kept me alive more than once. I look into his face and I just can't leave him. His name is Jean-Luc -- after Captain Picard in Star Trek. In my mind, I know people can go on without me -- but he is really attached to me. I just can't leave him behind. It brings tears to my eyes just to write this -- with him at my side.
Hold on to your dog -- and to your friends and to your garden. It is so hard to do, but focus on those things in this time of such overwhelming aloneness and sadness. Keep your dog next to you -- pet him or her constantly. Keep that physical connection.
I am glad that you wrote again. I hope you will keep doing so. I also still hope you will call your pdoc again and tell him what is going on -- share what you have shared with us. I know it is the weekend and you might not want to bother him on the weekend -- especially a holiday weekend -- but don't hesitate to do so first thing tomorrow. And let whoever answers the phone know that it is an emergency.
You matter to me.
