I’m getting sicker and still not making much headway in receiving help. Currently sorting out what the plans would be for Melbcat if I passed. That might not be immediate and I really hope it doesn’t happen but I’ve been deteriorating for a long time and will be heading in that direction without any intervention.

The health care system is pretty broken for neurotypical people too. Expect long waits with a temporary blanket and bowl of porridge for those that qualify. Later, write to your MP about the lack of funds.
Like others have said, please do let us know if there’s anything we can do to help. And consider going back to emergency - maybe they can speed up a referral to a specialist? Even if you get some specialists’ names, then call them in case there’s an available appt
😮 The squeaky wheel gets the grease sometimes with health care, and you have to push and insist on receiving care and treatment. I wish I could help you somehow.

I’m sorry to hear, I think maybe you should pop down to the Emergency Ward and get something sorted.
You shouldn’t be having to figure out how to get help while your health is deteriorating.
Is there anything we can help or do for you to get your health back on track?
Thanks, I have been to the ER repeatedly but unfortunately I’m not your usual case. The medical system can be pretty broken for anyone atypical.
you said you were having trouble eating and drinking and was becoming dehydrated.
Get them to look after that, just treat symptoms for now

I know that feeling - but go anyway. Some hospitals have a patient advocate that can help you. Do it for your kitty…

please go to emergency, please
Please look after yourself and escalate your need for medical assistance. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks, we’re doing everything possible for that to happen. 🤞
Please let us know if we can help in any way, I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sending my love.
Thanks Spud
