We went to visit Oboe in the hospital again this evening, and he seems to be improving. His breathing still isn’t great, and the vet says it might be a punctured air sac. She’s hoping it’ll resolve itself over time. She says we’re basically keeping him alive and buying him time so that Mother Nature […]

Watch my life unravel...

He’s still in the hospital. He’s not out of the woods yet. The vet wants him to get a little better on his own before she treats him, because she doesn’t think he’s strong enough or stable enough right now to survive stressful treatment. For example, she’ll need to anaesthetize him in order to x-ray […] Oboe’s luck ran out tonight. Duncan finally caught him. We took him to the vet and they admitted him. He needs pain meds, antibiotics, tube feeding, x-rays, and I forget what else. He might have a broken wing. He’s got rattling sounds in his airways. His breathing is rapid. He’s in pain. I always knew Duncan […] Duncan tested negative for hyperthyroidism, so now we’re treating him for irritable bowel syndrome. If he responds well to the treatment, then that’s probably what he’s got. If not, we’ll be looking at lymphoma, which is a kind of cancer. (It killed my last cat, Flea, but he was 19 years old. Duncan’s only 11.) I’m […] January I spent January raising my second (and final) clutch of baby lovebirds. The littlest one, Sweet Baby Jeebus, who hatched on Christmas Day, was pretty touch-and-go there for awhile. He was starving, but wouldn’t eat. Here he is at 23 days old, wearing his orthopedic device. (He did survive, and he was ultimately adopted by […] Today is my 5th day without Effexor. Yesterday was brutal. I had all the symptoms of the other four days (only worse), plus a migraine, fatigue, and bouts of profound sadness. I got up in the morning and tried to go to work but soon realized that wasn’t going to happen. Making breakfast for the […] Remember about a year and a half ago I got depressed and started taking the anti-depressant Effexor? Well, after a little while I didn’t feel depressed anymore, but I couldn’t tell whether the depression was really and truly gone or Effexor was just masking it. I kept taking it, even though I felt it made […] We accidentally watched the worst movie EVER on Friday night. We meant to watch a highly rated psychological thriller called The Tenant. But we somehow downloaded a phenomenally bad horror film called The Tenant. The movie hadn’t even been on for a minute when we looked at each other and said “This is really bad.” Bad […] Things have been a little crazy on the city buses lately. First there was the driver who was videotaped shouting, swearing and intimidating the student. (If you haven’t seen that video yet, here it is). Then there was the driver of the #5 who, when challenged by a frustrated customer for arriving 40 minutes late, […] Ceiling fans are one of the leading causes of death among pet birds. It’s so common, there’s even a term for it: shredded tweet. I only have two ceiling fans in my house: one in the bedroom, one in the sewing room. They are almost always turned off, and the birds rarely go in either […] |
