 I thought I should give you a little bit of a life update/reason I haven't been posting as much lately. 

I finally heard by from my new psychologist and we had our first meeting on monday. It was...Strange...I now have both a councillor and Doctor :/ He reviewed the medication I was currently on and monitored my heart. I have an irregular heart beat which might account for some of my anxiety levels and the medication I was on might have made that worse instead of better so he's changed my medication and is weening me off my others. The process is not as easy as I would like i'm already experiencing withdrawal symptoms and I'm not sleeping as much as I would like but hopefully it will start to get better in a week or two >.< 

Anywho, I'm sorry to have to ask for your patience as I work through this.

Tomorrow might not have any updates at all cause I'm going to Bolsover castle tonight on a ghost walk/halloween party though I've half finished a chapter of my family so I may get it done before I have to leave.

Hellp my dears. I bring you an update in the saga of Aiba-chan. He had another visit to the vet today and sadly it wasn't what we would have hoped for. The infection in his leg hasn't gone and he will have to have another operation next week. Sadly i've reached the point where I can't afford the bills and for whatever reason that its pulling out its bum the new insurance that I have won't cover it and so once again I find myself needing help. I've asked family and close friends but sadly they have already helped me so much with this that it's impossible. 

I try to be a good person but right now if I found the person that did this I would happily take a brick to their leg. I can't promise to gift anyone that donates with a story, at the moment I am so tired and drained again that I can barely muster the will to write but I will promise that I will try my best to keep writing for you as much as I can.

Urgh…I took Aiba-chan to the vets yesterday thoroughly expecting that he would be having his stitches removed and all would be well. Sadly, that is not the case. Half of his wound has healed nicely and they were able to take out the stitches the other half is not so good. The flesh hasn’t bonded together at all and there are signs of an infection. Thankfully it seems to be only in the skin and they hope with more antibiotics, and a larger collar so that Aiba can’t lick the wound, it will be fine. He’s got to go back on Sunday. If the infection hasn’t cleared then he will have to have another operation where they will cut out the infected flesh clean it up and sow it up again.

For some reason, my vet and Aiba’s new insurance are at odds. As far as the vet is concerned the infection is a new complaint and not covered by the money for the amputation and as far as the insurance is concerned its part of an already existing problem (To be honest I would agree with the insurance but at the same time I know that there are extra costs involved) Having the new cone and antibiotics, blood culture to make sure it wasn’t in the bone cost me another £56.67. I’m not even trying to think of what more surgery is going to cost more than I can afford probably but urgh…>.<

I’m just glad that he’s alive and that physically and emotionally he is recovering. He’s back to being his greedy and loving self constantly giving cuddles and kisses as much as he can with a dog sized cone >.<

I’ve been told that several others haven’t been so lucky. On the same stretch of road that Aiba was hit four other cats have had amputations and others haven’t been so lucky. The road itself isn’t even that busy >.<

I come bearing sad news. My cat Aiba-chan was involved in a hit and run yesterday/this morning. His leg was severely fractured in several places and sadly the only option I had was to agree to have it amputated completely. The operation was a success and Aiba-chan is already home with me, Merlin, and Satoshi as the vet thought he had a better chance of resting here than at the surgery. The story could have been a whole lot different this morning as the vet told me that he had already started going into severe shock and that, more than his injuries would have killed him if I hadn't found him for another ten minutes or so.

The amazing thing was that it was Merlin who let me know. Aiba-chan had taken one of his rare trips to another street and been hit there. He had managed to crawl his way from the road almost all the way home but hadn't managed the final fence. He had curled up there and there he would have stayed if Merlin hadn't started whining and scratching at the fence. My brother peered over and we saw Aiba-chan almost unresponsive in the grass.

My vet as always was amazing getting him in straight away and giving him much needed pain relief. Aiba-chan was as good as gold even going so far as to try and comfort me when I was in floods of tears. I was given the three options; taking the leg, trying to have a specialist fix it and run the risk of further costs and infection, or having him put to sleep.

Obviously I picked the first option and I don't regret it for a moment. As long as h's alive and can have a decent quality of life I will do my best. Of course the kicker came when it came to the pricing; £1541. My vet waved £500 of that even before doing the operation refusing to be paid for it leaving me with a bill of £1041. Me and my brothers and sister were able to raise 900 of the total cost so I'm short by £140, sadly I'm not paid until the 28th of this month.

If people were able to loan me the money until the 28th I can pay you straight back in the morning. Given how much my arashi family has done for me over the last year, and all the years that I have been writing for you I know that I have no right to ask and I know that it might be impossible but I know that I have to try. I know that I should have had him insured and until last year when my money was stopped he was but when I gained my money back my brain didn't register to get it back again. 

If it is possible my paypal address is krystalmatsumiya@gmail.com 

I'm so sorry for always being so useless
