    kittens home, tucked up in dining room with His Lordship while I keep a loose eye on Cerys.

    Max’s damaged tail looks like a lot more than that, he limps on his right and sits splayed. No matter to us, he’s ours regardless of if he ends up a diaper wearing wheelchair hoon, but they really shoulda disclosed that

      Our Oreo had a damaged tail when we found her at under 6 weeks. About half way along. She has no concerns with mobility or continence, and is the most agile cat I’ve ever had in terms of high rise confidence. She bounces through the gum tree like a monkey. She has no sensation in the top half of her tail, and sometimes it is nearly straight up, other times we can see the bend. She uses it prehensile-y and wraps it around things like cats with normal tails do too. Young Max may be just fine, and even if he’s not quite, we know he’ll be loved just the same.

        Oh believe me, when i say damaged tail, i mean damaged. This is half- length at best and when you touch it you can feel multiple breaks and kinks, it’s like a monkey’s paw knot. Which is why i don’t think it’s congenital . But as you said, loved regardless we just need to know what to accomodate

      Oh damn… damage to their tail is basically spinal injury and can affect toileting and walking, that’s right.

      I have my fingers crossed for you but if it gets to that point Kmart sells Anko brand pet nappies in different sizes and Big W sells pet wheelchairs.

      With orange kittens driving, your house will turn into the Grand Prix

        The damage is mostly near the tip, not the base, but the right leg is an added factor - gonna get him checked, hopefully they were just two seperate injuries. We’ve already noticed he doesn’t leap as far as Sam, but like i said, no biggie to us.

        We literally have a wraparound hallway, so yeah, grand prix track.

        Cerys is being rather excited-tail, but on alert and loses it a bit if something else goes on when researching these wee beasties. we have them in the dining room, which has (closed) frosted doors to the lounge - they know each other is there, they can dimly see each other, they’re alert , but not alarmed. Ears forward, slight question mark tails, she even showed them her arse so 🤞🤞

    Heading back to melbs today. Didn’t fall off the roof so big success. I do have an unexplained bruise on my left buttock though 🤔

    Looking at what people charge for gutter / downpipe cleaning I would do terribly in that line of work. Took me aaages.

    P’s back tm so jumping back on OPERATION FOOD for ol’ girl. Been very nice not locking horns w/ anyone about medical or food things (or any things) for the last 2.5 weeks.

    TW mental health

    Today has been absolutely brutal. I had a hyperventilating breakdown in my GP’s office because I just can’t take it anymore. I’ve made it through decades of things that would have broken another person and handled all the human deaths. But I’m continuing to go through hard shit while in severe chronic pain on the daily. Right after the death of my deeply bonded pet that was keeping me going. I’m seeking mental health help. But fuck me it is hard to just keep on endlessly living like this.

      #1, get the pain managed

        I don’t hate them anymore, I use them as an excuse to deep clean the place, otherwise I can be lazy about things like wiping skirting boards and whatnot.

    I was back at the doctor’s again today and had more blood taken. I’m not sure if it’s the new doctor or the magic new 50yo label, but the difference between now and a couple of years ago in terms of interest in actually doing screening tests etc. is very dramatic.

    I’ve always been a bit annoyed by all of the ‘ask your doctor about X issue’ type messaging because I’ve never been to a doctor before that actually had any interest in following anything up. It’s always felt like it’s somehow supposed to be my responsibility to figure out what health tests etc. are appropriate and then to try to convince a doctor to sign off on doing it. Having a doctor that actually wants to arrange for things in a proactive manner is a bit of a novelty.

    source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      My local clinic (been going there for 8 years now) is absolutely amazing at following up. The GP we started with is no longer there, but there are 3 others that are great. No worries with getting tests and referrals. They always recommend doing a full spectrum analysis of everything.

      Also, bulk billing since day one.

      The appointments are kept to the minimum time (10-15 minutes) but if anything is out of the ordinary they’ll arrange an extended one.

      A while back I ran into one of the GPs at the shops and he was asking me how everything was since the last visit.

        This is awesome.

      So glad you found a good gp. My experience is identical to yours. You’ve described it exactly! I’ve had a few different gps over the years and they have all been similar. I figure maybe it’s my appearance or way of asking, maybe I seem too well? Also I don’t go that often, so they don’t really know me? But then shouldn’t someone who isn’t a frequent visitor be taken seriously, because if I’ve shown up at the GP, I have a genuine concern.

      then to try to convince a doctor to sign off on doing it.

      They aren’t the easiest to deal w/ I can say that much.

    Being an adult means having a shouting match with a brushtail possum when getting some spring onion, winning the argument, and then having an egg on toast without breaking the yolk but still questioning life.

    Power went out at 3:30, then came back for a second, causing several BINGS throughout the house… then went back out. Was only out for half hour or so before another round of BINGS. Thankfully we knew to turn off all of the light switches that have smart bulbs before the power came back on. Still, sleeeeeeepy.

    Just say there’s 9 lamb chops and 3 people. Each person receives 2 perfectly good sized chops but one person may have put away the other 3 for ron because they are her favourite food of all time.

    Question: Is that fair even though the cook always cooks the greedy little pigs favourite food and allows them to have the leftovers and the cook doesn’t ask for nothing and would happily take her shirt off her own cold back so the greedy little pigs would stay warm?

    Took a while for me to change my sheets yesterday because my back hurts. I’ve noticed after some years of being alive that I lean to one side when standing. I wonder what that is for.

    Anyway, after beautifully making my bed yesterday, I wake up today to the sheet and doona on the floor and a dead arm. Yay.

    The other day I was helping YL with her room and I noticed a floating shelf box that she’d bought. I placed it on the side and told her not to put that up. “Yes Mum”. I told her not to move the furniture on her own. “Yes Mum”. I go in there and the furniture is moved. Hmm.

    I go in there a little later on and the floating shelves are on the floor, pulled out of the box, instructions open. So I confiscated all the bits and hid them, minus the box. Nothing has been said about them in 2 days.

    Today she brought out the box and put it in the recycling. Nothing was said. I took the box and put all the bits in there and hid it again. I wonder how long it’s gonna be before she mentions it.
