[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:36 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> How is Molly coping? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> I read that as "and make sure her fountain is clean and full of hygienic tasks." I was wondering what sort of hygienic tasks a cat would expect you to fill her fountain with! 😄 [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:21:48 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I forgot a comma.

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:43 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I'm frankly not keen on having my routines disrupted either. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:50 PM EDT] <bynw> they want her to play with them and she doesn't want to play [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:22:50 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Two against one might seem unfair... [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> But Molly's bigger, isn't she? or is she another toy? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:37 PM EDT] <KK> Well, they're small--but that means they can pester from different sides. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Sounds like KitKat and Milo with PJ, who is a grouchy old lady and doesn't want to play with anyone, but the Brothers from Another Mother think that everyone should play. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:48 PM EDT] <bynw> she's the same breed [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:23:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Two full of energy puppies trying to get grandma to play.

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:25:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> @KK when is your procedure or have you had it already? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:25:46 PM EDT] <bynw> bigger because she is an adult but not much ... she's only 7 pounds [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:26:21 PM EDT] <KK> It's Tuesday, check-in at 0930, and expected to last around 3 hrs. And I go for bloodwork and CT tomorrow at 0800. Blech! [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:26:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hope all goes well, KK!

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:27:53 PM EDT] <bynw> ok [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:01 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Evie the Verbose> If you have to go without food and water before the procedure, then as early as possible the next morning is better, I suppose. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:06 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Hope everything goes smoothly KK and the a fib is permanently banished [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:32 PM EDT] <KK> From your mouth to God''s ears! [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:51 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> My son, Menuvil, said to say, "Hi," to you, KK. He just told me that the first Deryni series is what got him interested in reading for other than school assignments. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> What are you having surgery for, KK? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:28:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> We all need a bit of repair work as we age [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:29:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Or a complete renovation [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:29:39 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Things keep wearing out and not working properly [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:29:51 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Hope all is well after! [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:30:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Hopefully not TOO much repair work, just enough to keep everything working as intended [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:30:28 PM EDT] <KK> It's a cardiac ablation, to zap parts of the heart that are messing up heart rate. It isn't really a surgery unless they cut you open, eh? This is all done through catheters, like an angiogram. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:30:54 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> kind of like being rewired [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:31:12 PM EDT] <KK> It's general anesthesia, so I won't feel a thing. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:31:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Hopefully you'll wake up feeling much better [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:31:37 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's still "invasive" so it's a surgery but they do it a lot, so it's considered fairly safe. Sending prayers. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:19 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> General anesthesia. Anesthesiologist sticks mask on my face and says, " take three deep breaths." I remember inhaling, exhaling, inhaling again and then waking up in recovery. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> Good, don't really want to feel anything. Had a doctor ask me once how much of a procedure I wanted to remember, NOTHING [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:37 PM EDT] <KK> Yeah, this doc is an electrophysiologist, which is aother way of saying electrician, as opposed to the folk who open up narrowed blood vessels, who are called plumbers. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:32:57 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> And yes, what Shiral said. Hopefully you will feel loads better when you wake up. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:13 PM EDT] * The_Bee sending better h.ealth and healing woodgies to [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:25 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> When I've had surgeries, I say, "Night night," right before I go under. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:30 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> Ha! Ha! Lou called them that, too, KK. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:40 PM EDT] * CambersGhost [discord] <Shiral> makes note to send Rhys or Tieg in to check on KK on Tuesday [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:33:54 PM EDT] <The_Bee> health woodgies to KK [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:03 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> It's apparently medical-nonsense season. Mom had her pacemaker battery and leads replaced in March and her hip replaced earlier this month, and I'm having cataract surgery on Friday. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Egad! Hope all goes well, DR [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:29 PM EDT] <bynw> i'll post on the Shout Outs on the forum when I hear something on Tuesday [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:44 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Thanks, bynw [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Thank you, Bynw! [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:47 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> are they offering price reductions on bundles? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> LOL, DFK [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:34:54 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, cataract surgery is magical! You'll suddenly be able to see so much better. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:05 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> I hope Carys won't be cross with you later, DR [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:14 PM EDT] <KK> That was the idea, Bynw. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:18 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Sure, get your heart fixed and have an appy half price [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:26 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I hope so. I'll frankly settle for not having a ginormous glare any time I drive after dark. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:35:56 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> It's so much better after, DR [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:04 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Which is a thing I have not been doing if I can avoid it, because ginormous glare taking up most of my field of vision seems suboptimal conditions for piloting two tons of plastic and metal. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:29 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Jerusha2> Totally agree, DR [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:30 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Those who I know who have had cataract surgery are ALWAYS glad they got it [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:40 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> And we hope KK's cardiac electrician gets her wiring behaving itself. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:54 PM EDT] <KK> If you also have astigmatism, will the new len also correct that? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:36:55 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Yeah, both my parents have said that they're glad they got it. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Yep. had mine about a decade ago [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:06 PM EDT] <bynw> amen to that [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:33 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Mom especially, because she had hell-begotten Coke-bottle trifocals preop and needs nothing but drugstore readers postop. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:42 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> When I had my surgery they couldn't correct for asthigmatism, just magnification [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I don't think so, but it may fix some of my nearsightedness. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:48 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> They have lenses that do that, but they were too expensive for me [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:37:53 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm glad. It was like laser surgery, only the insurance covered it. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Frankly if I could afford laser surgery, I'd have done it ages ago. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:32 PM EDT] <KK> Should fix all of your nearsightedness. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It will, DR. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:48 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> I just said to give me 20/20 vision bcz I had never had it. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:38:59 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Back when I first started wearing glasses (my late teens), I was told I was an excellent candidate for full correction until I reached that circa-age-40 stage of needing reading glasses. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:39:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> (Ophthalmologist told me that, so he knew whereof he spoke.) [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:39:27 PM EDT] <bynw> no laser surgery for me [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:39:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Nezz> Capn, I'm loving the name Menuvil. 🙂 [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:00 PM EDT] <KK> It works well for some. But it's a different issue from cataracts. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:20 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> I think he told me once that it's a yiddish word for Evil One [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Before cataract surgery, I couldn't even see the big ␂E␂ at he top of the chart without my glasses. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:40:48 PM EDT] <KK> Is he? Evil? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:16 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> The doctor doing my cataract procedure did my stepdad's cataract procedures and also did my eyelid lift last fall. (Not cosmetic; the Botox for my migraines was causing them to droop into my field of vision. I'd lost about 45% of field, but it had all happened so gradually I didn't really notice until my optometrist said, "You sweet summer child, please go get this fixed.) [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:17 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Only in some video games [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:41 PM EDT] <KK> I had muscle surgery after the cataracts were done, to correct double vision issues. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:42 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> LOL, CapnGramma. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:41:45 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DFK> The first time the doc asked what line on the chart I could read, I said what chart/ [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:42:46 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> My daughter is the Hell-Begotten Pod-Child, not really because of her but that was a nickname a friend gave her when she was a baby, because any offspring of my ex-husband and me must be such. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:43:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've been getting treatments for a problem in my left eye for over a year.

[Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:43:56 PM EDT] <KK> Sounds like a less than happy marriage. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:19 PM EDT] <KK> Macular, Bee? [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:22 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Well, yeah. Hence him being my ex-husband. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:36 PM EDT] <HoundMistress> LOL! DR [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:37 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Glad you decided enough was enough, DR [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:52 PM EDT] <CapnGramma> Menu is 36. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:44:53 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Done and dusted long ago. Divorce was final in 1995. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:09 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Oh, cool! The Pod-Child will be 31 this fall!

Things look like they're floating and fuzzy. [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <Shiral> Much better to be happily single [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:45:21 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> Mhm.

I have some that look like a translucent collie dog [Sunday, April 23, 2023] [7:46:15 PM EDT] <CambersGhost> [discord] <DesertRose (she/her)> I've decided that even should I decide to be not-single again someday, I do not wish to cohabitate with anyone but my cat.
