Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Driving by to request cat~ma. Victor is in the hospital. Briefly, he's having problems with a number of organs, including a partially collapsed lung. The vets are still doing tests, but the prime candidates are FIP, lymphoma, and systemic infection.
We're hoping for anything but FIP. FIP is fast, painful, and non-treatable. If it's that, we'll probably put him to sleep immediately. Even lymphoma would be treatable.
He's on heavy-duty antibiotics. When we visited him yesterday, he was acting more like his old self -- even had a healthy appetite. So we're hoping.
Looks like I'll need to ask for some health~ma in addition to the job~ma. My BIL tried to commit suicide. We won't know until morning how much damage his organs took.
This week has kinda sucked.
I hate to ask for something as petty as job~ma after Gud's post. But I could really use it tommorrow around 2:00 pm CST.
I got laid off this morning. I think my (former) company might be imploding. Some transition~ma for all involved would be appreciated, and I'd like mine with a little New Orleans flavor, thanks.
Looks like I'll still be needed that job~ma. I got laid off today. Well, technically tomorrow, but still, ugh.
We had Tzepesh put to sleep last night. His illness had drastically worsened.
Victor didn't make it through the surgery. After the surgery, Victor went into cardiac arrest. They weren't able to bring him back. He was 9 months old.
From the look of his kidneys, the vet is almost certain Victor had FIP.
Can I have some "Not Cancer" ma, please.
So we're making a major lifestyle change and adding a rescue greyhound to our family today. Would love some easy transition vibes, and any advice anyone can give me on adapting to a new doggie. I've got all the recommended books, but people can tell me things in human-speak that might make more sense.
MEEP!
Tomorrow morning I leave from Charleston for the first leg of the trip to Vermont.
I could use some weather-packing-travel~ma!!
