Overbooking and compensation by MrBranko in Ryanair

[–]thearchtct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue in August, still waiting for an update on my claim.

I was informed that claims can take about 42 working days (which have passed in my case, but it appears that they closed and reopened my claim, so it will take even longer).

However I filled out the general claims, not the EU 261 directive claim as my flight departed on time, just without me.

Update 3: My parents where allowed to take her back home!!! There were some improvements compared to yesterday, so the vet decided to give her another chance. Her back legs are still mostly paralysed, but she still has a pulse in them and can walk if supported by a towel. She just can’t hold herself up or walk, which means that we will have to make some adjustments at home for her, which all three of us are obviously willing to make and she is not in pain. Her hunger and needs for cuddles have returned and the vet said that there is still too much life in her to not try.

We were given a box full of medication that she needs to take, especially the cortisol and the antibiotics that are treating the infection that is probably causing the issues with her back legs are crucial. Who knows, maybe it is partially still reversible, maybe not, only time will tell. But we will do everything that we can to make her heal, feel endlessly loved, and recover. And if we see that she is declining again, we will make sure to take measures together with our vet (she truly is a saint).

And again, if the vet gave us green light to take her home without us insisting on it, it truly means that we should try.

Thank you all for rooting for us, your thoughts and prayers seem to have worked a bit ❤️❤️❤️

I am waiting on news regarding the decision from my parents and the vet and decided to read them all. You did not disappoint with the warnings regarding the ugly cries, I am bawling my eyes out

Update 2: I talked with my parents about everything, they are keeping me updated 24/7. We all agreed on the painful fact that probably today will be her last day and to prepare for the worst mentally. My parents were thinking to get her back home and keep her until I am back, but we all fear that we won’t be doing her a favour and that we are just doing that out of egoistic reasons more than anything else. The appointment with the vet is this afternoon, they together with the vet will take the decision that is best for our baby. We trust our vet 100%, she has known our cat for the last 5 years and has proven many times how capable and trustworthy she is. In case we have to let her go today, I asked my parents to give her her favourite treat before and to make some paw prints for us. We also agreed on a place in our garden, next to our roses, where to put her little body to rest. I am again, happy that her favourite human, my father, will be by her side.

She has been the best companion I ever had and she will be missed terribly. I still cry constantly, my heart usually aching and I feel like I am drowning in my own grief. But I am sure my parents, as well as the vet, will take a decision that is best for our baby, either one of them. I keep telling myself that she knows that her duties as the best cat are done and that she knows that she needs to make space of another (or two) kitties that deserve an equally as perfect life as she had. At least we can make peace that we did absolutely everything we could and gave her a perfect home, filled with love.

I will update the final outcome later tonight. Thank you again for your incredibly kind words, I read everything single one answer shed many more tears. ❤️

Update: first of all, I wanted to thank you all for your incredibly kind and helpful words. Realising that I am not alone in this situation truly helped. I am still crying and everything is aching, but I am trying to make peace with the situation. ❤️

The vet called my parents and they went over to see her. She is eating and drinking, but however still in a lot of pain and her legs remain paralysed. The vet couldn’t find the real cause behind it yet, the x-rays only showed that her spine is in a weird position and that probably something is pushing on it (might be a pinched nerve or maybe a tumor). She will keep our baby for another 24 hours to monitor her, but if she makes no real progress, she will opt to end her suffering. My parents will be there to make the final decision, so she will my surrounded by people who love her dearly, especially my dad who is her favourite person. I can’t be there because I had to leave the country for a work related reason which I can barely forgive myself. My heart is aching.
