I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

HOly crap, I feel awful. I went to the ER on Thursday night for a migraine - it was a type I'd never had before, and was horrible. Friday was all-day recovery from the migraine. Monday I threw my lower back out, and have been on muscle relaxers since then. I broke my favorite teapot yesterday morning, and I just spilled tea everywhere because I'm so groggy and uncoordinated.
Yes, I would like hairpats. Things will get better after my chiropractor appointment, right?

So sorry that this has decided to be Rabid Wednesday with its extra Mondayness. I'm thinking I probably don't want to know anything about either sad or rabid puppies.
Working, but being a bum at the same time. I stepped in a hole in my sister's yard and twisted my ankle yesterday. It will be fine, just swollen and ouchy today. And I must have hit the wrist and knee on the other side going down because they are ouchy too. Oh well. This too shall pass. Unlike the alt-right, which shows no sign of passing any time soon.

{{{Jilli}}} I'm sorry about all the awfulness! Yes, the chiropractor will help.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hope things turn around fast, Jilli.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Did NOT get punched in the face, no. Sorry for the ambiguity. I assume it's my sinuses expressing their displeasure with the existence of some pollen or other.

Now I'm a bit concerned he might be a bit further to the right than I was thinking.
Back away.
Is it wrong that I wonder which is pricier, tooth extraction via vet or tooth extraction via dentist?
Out of pocket, vet. Darby's teeth cleaning last month was staggeringly expensive. Bloodwork + fluids + anesthesia + in her case a chest x-ray because they thought they heard a murmur.. and that's before you get to any actual cleaning or extractions.

Both vets and dentists are crazy expensive. Particularly since the visits are generally less than fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Jilli! I hope you can stay very still surrounded by soft things until you are better.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Out of pocket, vet. Darby's teeth cleaning last month was staggeringly expensive.
I like the Banfield Wellness plan, which is essentially pre-paying for services (twice-yearly exams, vaccinations, de-worming [for kittens/puppies], neutering [if necessary], dental cleaning, etc), but spreading it out as a monthly payment. Plus the prices of the services are reduced for plan members. It makes it a lot easier to budget for the services that pets really have to have.
We pretty much stumbled onto Banfield when Kato, Toke, and Slinky got so old that they started having health issues more frequently. Our previous vet, who was wonderful, is 45-60 minutes away, depending on traffic. We just couldn't do that when someone was having an issue every 3 weeks. Banfield is super close and the vet is really great. She was so, SO wonderful with Kato. (I still can't type his name without tearing up a little. I say I want another dog, but I think what I really want is my Kato back.)
