Pity Party for 1

Let me start by saying I know people out there have problems WAY worse than mine, but I'm in a sh*tty, crying-on-and-off, mad-at-the-world mood and need to vent.
I feel like my little family can't catch a freaking break. It's like ever since we lost the baby, crap keeps happening. We all got a violent stomach bug the very same day we had the ultrasound telling us our baby's heart was slowing. Then our dog (miniature dachshund) hurt her back, which we thought was getting better, but yesterday things took a turn for the worse and now she's at the vet all day and may need a $4,000 surgery. (And, of course, we haven't yet paid for Cameron's surgery or my D&E procedure). And our dog is like our second child, and I am heartbroken seeing her like this. And MH is all torn up about it, too. And I also just realized that when we can start TTC again, MH will be out of town during my predicted O time (for five days straight) for the next TWO months. AND BOTH of MH's grandparents passed away this weekend. Like within 36 hours of each other.
Sorry, I'm just sitting at my desk at work all woe is me and pissed at the world and I know I should be counting my blessings and all that jazz, but the truth is I just want a drink and a warm bed and some chocolate and mindless reality television so I can wallow in my grief.

Re: Pity Party for 1
I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this sh!t, and it seems like it is just piling up. I hope and pray that this is the last of it and your doggy doesn't need that surgery. Geesh, this is the worst time for all of this and the worst timing. Maybe all the bad stuff from 2013 is happening at once, and the rest of the year will be a breeze? Here's hoping!!
Also, if DH is out of town, is there a way that you can go and meet up with him to do the deed?
So, so sorry Peelester. ((hugs))
You have certainly been faced with many tragedies and challenges recently. No pity from me, but instead lots of sympathy. I will be continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers!
Yes, you have had some really crappy things happen.
I know you said you should count your blessings, and you should, but I also think you have a lot of healing to do after your loss. All these extra stresses are just harder to process because you are still hurting. Take some time to make yourself feel better! Grieving is a process you need to be gentle on yourself. If you need a day here or there to go eat chocolate and watch some bad TV go ahead. At the end of your day though pick yourself up, count those blessings, kiss your little sunshine, and realize you will get through it, and things will get better!
(hugs)
BTW
My SIL's dachshund slipped a disc and their vet said to crate her for 8 weeks (plus pain meds) before they go ahead with surgery. Hopefully you guys can try something like that and it works.
I wish. In Feburary he'll be 6 hours away for work and in March he'll be across in the country in Vegas for a work conference. But thanks for your kind words.
Boo. Although, does your school district have mid-winter break in February? Maybe it falls on that period of time? Also, 6 hours in the car really isn't that long for a road trip...Just sayin'...
big big hugs Peelester. I am so sorry you have been going through so much. I wish there was something I could do to help.

About your dog, get pet insurance! I think it kicks in within 24hrs. We had a basic plan for our dog already and she went in for tons of tests and stayed at the vet all day yesterday. Today she is seeing a neurologist and the scan alone will be around 1,800 dollars...so last night we upped our pet insurance to the next level plan. They told us it kicked in at 9am today and her neurologist appointment is at 10am. Given what we have been informed, we will most likely have to put her to sleep. Our insurance pays 80 percent and we pay 20 percent of the cost. So at least it's not as must of a financial burden as it would have been.
You have every right to be upset. That sounds like more than one person should have to deal with in one moment.
Free wine and chocolate pass, for sure.
