Back to work tomorrow. So much to do, and I can't even unpack my suitcase.
I'm betting you need a perf'd globe like a hole in the eye.

Feel better. Do fake tears help, or something that shrinks the vessels?

Thanks, foot, V, Pete, and Nirvana. Intraocular and systemic steroids help. I'm on both of those now thanks to my onc, and because I'm getting three days' worth of steroids around my chemo. I have a referral to Ophthalmology but no appointment yet. The steroids have calmed things down but I'll be off them Sat morning (and my immune-boosting shot will kick in after a couple days) so we'll see what happens then. The really nasty thing about eyes is that when they're affected by autoimmune disorders, a bad outcome in one can cause a 'sympathetic' reaction in the other and you lose both. If things deteriorate badly on the weekend I'll just have to go to the ER.

The sympathetic eye thing does not, repeat NOT, happen with field cuts due to stroke. Not trying to add to your stress, Monster. I'm very sorry your vision is still a problem.

I've ended a friendship today. That's upsetting to me because I never thought this friend would be such a fucking bitch to me.

Anyway, life goes on. Out with the dead weight. I guess now I have room for something or someone better.

Yeah a bit monster. Not nearly as much as your trials at the moment though. My issue seems very small in comparison.

Losing a friend isn't small. Sucks.

Usually after a few minutes on the treadmill he finds his rhythm and settles into it. This time we had to stop after 7 minutes.

I knew he wasn;t right. The last week and a half he's been intermittently exhibiting pain based behaviours (nipping and getting hyper) but difficult to isolate where it was coming from (back muscles? hipjoints?).

So we've to go his regular vets and discuss a possible short course of anti-inflammatories. The idea of which gives me a sinking feeling...seriously, already? He's only just turned one year old. Don't much like the idea of him being in pain though either, so hey ho. Needs must and all that.
Oh, the poor little guy. So sorry.

The scale of the man's offending is truly shocking.

Update on Carrotchops: spoke to his regular vet today. She's only down at the local surgery on Thursdays, so was gearing up to maybe have to take him to the other branch (an hour's drive) but as it happens, she's booked solid til next Friday at either branch and is then off to stateside for a conference.

So, we're starting his acupuncture when she returns atthe end of the month. In the meantime she's suggested he does go for a short course of anti-inflammatory painkillers and I've booked him in with one of the other vets tomorrow morning.

He's been really out of sorts today, poor little sod. Like a kid when they're sick, all restless with no attention span.

Poor pup! Hope he feels better soon.

I feel like everyone's getting hit hard this January. Sending wishes for peace and healing out to all those who need them.

Poor Carrot! I hope the anti-inflammatories help. Sorry this is happening.

Vile doesn't begin to describe it. If investigations were dropped or allegations ignored, there should be major consequences. Over such a long time period, there had to be people who knew and kept silent.

Too bad he can't be prosecuted posthumously and his estate confiscated to go toward restitution to his victims.
