Thank you Classy_Chick06 and HopePray for posting as I have been increasingly uncomfortable about your recent posts squilliondollarbaby, and this latest one really upset me You seem to be trivialising the illness of your MiL, dismissing her 'as she is 80', and the use of the term 'coffin dodger' is highly offensive to me, and I am sure others, who have recently lost those close to us

I am particularly distressed because the way you have portrayed this situation goes totally against the grain of this caring, sharing thread and all it stands for . This has certainly kept me from posting for the last day or two, which upsets me too

Anyway, night night Elite ......... bye for now

Yep sorry 3Dogs, I have always been a bit rational/ realistic about stuff like death and certainly feel the best thing I can do for my wife now is increasingly help prepare her mentally for the fact that her mother is going to die soon. That's not trivialising it in my mind though I can see it might come across that way, I guess 'coffin dodger' is my own way of coping with an impending death in the family as of course when a parent or MIL dies of old age/ natural causes, it IS close to home and makes you think about your own inevitable death next in line though (hopefully) in another 30 or so years. MIL is 80, I'm 50, so 30 more would be fair enough though I'd hope to look after myself a bit better than she. I have to say that the deaths/ illnesses that distress me personally are the 'unfair' ones ie the ones that hit people young in life. OTOH I find it hard to get worked up about death through old age, particularly when that person has not done much to look after themselves in terms of diet and exercise/ staying active, when that would probably have given them a few more years. In a way (and you'll say I'm twisting this) it's the people who die a bit early because they didn't look after themselves in terms of diet & exercise who are being selfish, because they are robbing the people they leave behind of the pleasure of their company/ love etc.

Best to ask their doctor to be sure.

How is your wife? I found it very very hard when my mum was ill last year. I hope she is coping and I hope your MIL is over the worst of the stroke.

I spoke to her last night and again this morning and she seems to be quite cheerful, I think she is happier now that the MIL has made a quick recovery in terms of damage to her speech & formulation of words to thoughts which was the main immediate problem. They were talking about her staying in hospital 2 weeks and that has been reduced to leaving next Tuesday (about 7/8 days) - and this is a hypochondriac over-hospitalised country where, for example, they try to keep mums in hospital for a week around childbirth.

Ive just done a search under the word Sheba and no one seems to have said anything about Sheba at all in this thread - is Sheba a dead duck in the water - what have our cats been eating this week ???

Hi mhoc,

My oz wouldn't eat Sheba

He came in this morning soaking wet. It's taken until now for him to dry out and he has just gone out again in the torrential rain.

I even resorted to the talking cats on YouTube to keep him cuddled up to me but to no avail:o
