Default Some bad luck

Just got back from the vets, my cat needs some teeth removed, but whilst checking him over the vet noticed a heart murmur. He's now having his blood taken and is being kept for observation before his teeth are done. He said obviously if the results come back with problems, the op would have to wait. Thing is now I'm really panicking something is going to be up, he's going on 15 so I guess he could have developed problems. I'm so worried he's going to have something wrong with him, and depending on what it is, that I'm not going to be able to afford the treatment etc.

On top of that, I'm having an issue at work, where I accidentally hit the panic alarm-which I was never told was there. My manager told me to not worry but I'm fairly sure there's going to be a charge for the call out, and knowing the owners of the company, it will come from my paycheck. Needless to say I'm frustrated and angry about this, since although I feel incredibly stupid, I wasn't told what/where it was.

Combine that with having recently ended a relationship with a seriously unstable guy who I thought I knew, and my dad all but abandoning his family... I've been feeling pretty low.

Not really sure what I'm looking for, just wanted to get it out of my head.

Aww I'm sorry to hear your having a bad time. The one part
I can comment on is your kitty.
My cat had a heart murmur her whole life and she lived till 19.
My dog has one also and she just turned 12. So its not necessarily
a bad thing at all. My cat was 14 when she developed a thyroid
problem - she had to take a medication that was like a cat treat
2x a day - and she lived another 5 years. Our pets are often stronger
and more resilient than we like to think.
Best of luck to you and your kitty.

**big hug**

My cat had a heart murmur from about 14 and he lived to be 17.

I hope things look up for you soon.
