this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If I had a bunch of Humira lying around that needed a new home there is no official way to do that, right? I'd just need to ask around?

I think so. Pharmacies can't take it back and re-dispense it; they'd have to dispose of it. AFAIK, food banks/shelters would have to dispose of it, too, although I'm not 100% sure on that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

At work I usually walk about 5-6 miles, depending on how many times I have to go back and forth across the store. And there's the climbing ladders, carrying printers and desktop computers and just standing. Plus the mental task of trying to remember all the questions to ask and getting information from people and trying to figure out what they are talking about when they don't know proper names for things or aren't sure what they want.

Do not underestimate that this is physically and mentally tiring work.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That sounds like exhausting work to me, askye!

I have some BP meds and AD meds I'm not taking anymore. I mentioned it to my doctor and he said he would take the BP meds because he was going to Haiti in a few months and they needed them, as long as they weren't expired. So, you could also ask your doctor if s/he knows of any way the meds could get used instead of discarded.

I should ask around for someone who can use neurontin or buspar.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The Humira needs to be refrigerated which makes things tricky. Not impossible, but probably tough to bring to Haiti,

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

There are two things I use on my now finicky chemo cat fancy feast broths and appetizers --they go out randomly as extra food - both my cats decided the old food was not great at t eh same time - which according to the vet was a change in the formula. But my cat on chemo is now picky and needs to not lose weight. These are often tasty enough that he goes back to his real food and eats more food.

any way you might see if treat food reminds him that food is good

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I am going to call the vet today, and that's a good point about checking the food. Fortunately, I have some canned food of a different brand that he likes, and I'll see if that helps.

When he did eat, it was when the kitten was shut in his room AND Finn's food bowl was right outside the door. I did try feeding them side by side, and Finn just sniffed at his food and walked away.

Fortunately, my vet is wonderful, and wants to make sure that Finn is doing okay.

My three cats prefer to eat with a few feet separating them. Unless it's tuna; they'll eat tuna practically out of the same bowl. Priorities, man. They're happiest, it seems, if they feel like no one can see them while they eat. Under the dining room chairs is perfect, according to them.

Trudy, you're NYC based, so call the Doctors Without Borders and see if they could use it or know any org or anyone who could use it.

They're excellent predators but small, so they do feel safest eating in safety.

So over being sick. Having to oxygenate my blood is tedious. And apparently not as automatic as one would hope.
