R.I.P. Puss Puss. ? - 20080904 0901 AM EST. Pictures a and a
rant. http://foomanchu.com/Puss-Puss/ (The pictures up front so you don't have to read my ramble and rant if you don't want to.) Sorry this is LONG! And possibly Not Safe For Work (I curse a bit). First I'll talk about poor Puss Puss. The VERY lovable boy who had to die because of someone who when it really mattered, didn't care. And by that I refer to the idiots who responded NOT Rhonda or "cshenk." The idiots who call themselves kitty rescues or refuges but offer no assistance unless the kitty is in good condition. One no-kill shelter I found actually has it on their Web site that it would probably be required to give the cat veterninary assistance before they could take it. Sounds like a cat lover? No. http://foomanchu.com/Puss-Puss/ Puss Puss was found less than 20 hours ago in what I considered to be severe to critical condition. He was: * covered in parasites * something that looked like mouse poop on him * a fungal infection (no clue what kind, the vet said this) * seriously underfed and malnourished as his ribs and pelvis were protruding * seriously injured in some kind of altercation as his left arm was SERIOUSLY mangled -- this wound was allowed to heal partially which left his arm unable to fully extend so I was immediately informed that *IF* Puss Puss could survive he was definitely going to lose that leg * the leg for whatever reason was weeping and the vet called the liquid something specific (but it wasn't serum or pus) -- she didn't understand how the wound got to where it was (because of the mass amounts of scar tissue but it weeping EVERYWHERE) -- the spouse made a suggestion that perhaps it was broken at some point and then it got into another altercation with something... *shrug* it's all speculation He was a very handsome young lad with the most sincere and affectionate disposition (the first I've encountered beside Phat Kat). Apparently he wasn't in that much discomfort -- I take this by the way the vet "manhandled" (I say manhandled, but I'm sure that's me overreacting *rolling eyes*) his leg. "In her expert opinion" the cost of saving him would be in the several hundred dollar to $1,000+ range -- which is what I expected and STUPIDLY came here seeking advice because my brain sometimes doesn't process the information as fast as most. Like me asking cybercat not to be a bitch, then apologizing for saying it in the first place, and then of course feeling stupid because in fact she is a complete bitch. Including CatNipped the liar who plays games and talks ****e behind people's backs and makes public what was private -- of course, that's when she's not sucking up to cybercat or Phil. Anyway, I see my only mistake being that I should have been a tad more independent and just sat here for hours instead of asking the spouse to help me contact someone (which we did for 3 hours before the vet finally opened). The thing is, for some strange reason no one is hearing the fact that emergency services here will NOT see an animal without arranging payment. Period. That is what the answering service response is. In fact, I think they do it on purpose so they don't get roped into free house calls. The Humane Society (and/or SPCA -- I originally thought it was the same thing I called, but it was two separate places I called -- neither of which called me back) has not yet called me back. The spouse was infuriated because the vet told us as a matter of fact that, "You can try calling the police, but I wouldn't be too optimistic about them actually doing anything." Guess what?! She was right! I made the mistake of saying that someone else said something which is what I was going on -- they called it heresy and said that was the end of that. I didn't call them back again after the vet said that nothing would be done. Originally I was told to wait and call the dog pound -- BY the police. **** I guess I'm rambling again so I'm going to wrap it up with this. cybercat, CatNipped, and although I don't know your character Cat Protector I'm lumping you in this. If you lasses honestly take the best care of your kitty friends then bless you, I mean that. I actually believe you DO take care of them wonderfully based on how mean you are to humans (and the affectionate way in which you talk about cats in general). Despite CatNipped and her horror stories of tying down her kitties, or hooding them and such -- I'm sure those kitties have exceptional care. Anyway... if you are just a bunch of inflammatory *******s waiting for a disabled idiot to wander in so you could show how much better you are than them while your own kitty suffers, then I pray you get in horrible accidents that leave you dependent on someone who thinks to treat you the same way. Never have I felt so hopeless as when I found Puss Puss last night with the spouse and to go through the same LONG process of calling places that said call another place or emergency services not responding because I didn't have money. I bent over backward to try and talk nicer, be more polite, and to explain everything clearly without making jokes about how much I'd like to kick Gabby in his arse at times. I often explained that I am disabled and may not talk appropriately or may make mistakes... I said flatly that I may be overreacting. It was met with a clear disregard for how ANYONE other than themselves feel. And how I feel about cybercat is when she acts like the complete bitch she is -- she runs people off who may seriously want to do the right thing but are not completely capable of it. Not everyone has a normal brain or legs that work -- bitch. I can sit here and apologize over and over for whatever the hell it was exactly that I did, but again I wonder what exactly it was I did wrong? * took in a kitty to help it instead of drive by? * called for 3 hours trying to get a hold of SOMEONE to figure out where I could possibly get the kitty? * took the kitty to the vet as soon as they would talk to me (not an answering service)? As I see it, my mistake was trusting the supposed cat lovers and being an idiot. So to all you fake arsed wenches who delight in hurting humans while you secretly molest your kitties (CatNipped, I cannot help but think about tying down Samazon or hooding her if I recall correctly) I want you to take a long hard look at Puss Puss and realize I may have made a mistake somewhere, but when it mattered you cared more to make me feel or look like an idiot (which perhaps I did a good job of) than to say something beneficial that would assist me or get me thinking in a better direction. **** you. **** you very much. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail.

... Just one question. Since when is it *my* responsibility to take care of *your* cats? I'll say this nicely once, and once only. Keep calling me a bitch and I'll be forced to *show* you just how much of one I can be. One more rant, one more accusation and you will be very, very sorry you *ever* ****ed with me. I'm recovering from a very painful surgery and would be glad to vent that pain all *over* your ass. CatNipped |

And if you are talking about whipping my arse the spouse kindly requests that you bring assistance. I couldn't think of another accusation offhand, other than you're a childish bitch. So what happens now Ms. Threat Pants? You must seriously be out of your eccentric-arsed mind to think you can intimidate someone or say what you want without anyone else ever saying something different. Grow up lass, it's unbecoming at your age. By the way, do you need my address? Or... ? P.S. I hope you feel better and that there are no complications. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not. |

I'm recovering from a very painful surgery and would be glad to vent that pain all *over* your ass. It isn't your responsibility, but you are the one who made me believe that I could seek assistance here. That was my point BITCH. "Seek assistance" finding Gabby a new home, "seek assistance" transporting him to that new home (this, when you were considering having him euthanized simply because you didn't know how to handle a cat)... *NOT* find assistance to magically heal a dying cat. Your *VERY* explicit description of his injuries left no other reasonable conclusion other than that he needed to be humanely euthanized as quickly as possible to put him out of his pain. Are we supposed to be some kind of ****ing magicians to 1) understand what the ****** you are rambling on about and 2) telepathically send out healing "vibes" and 3) provide the assistance, *LONG DISTANCE* that you couldn't find in your area code!!! When someone comes on here to describe, in flamboyant and gross detail, the injuries of a dying cat, and says "oh, I can't do anything for the poor thing except watch him suffer", well *that* my dear is a most rusty and tired *TROLL* - *NOT* a search for help. And if you are talking about whipping my arse the spouse kindly requests that you bring assistance. Have you heard of the word metaphorically? No? Thought not. Physically? Of course not, I wouldn't stoop to your level. I couldn't think of another accusation offhand, other than you're a childish bitch. So what happens now Ms. Threat Pants? I can't explain that to you. Your lobotomy has taken away all your capacity to reason out any explanation I could possibly give you (that is what caused the frontal lobe damage, isn't it - your family had to have your brain carved up to stop your abusive tendancies?) You must seriously be out of your eccentric-arsed mind to think you can intimidate someone or say what you want without anyone else ever saying something different. I can't and won't ever try to stop you from saying whatever the hell babble you like - I can, however, make you read despicable things about yourself every time you log on to this newsgroup (and I *know* you'll read them, you can't help yourself, can you?) Grow up lass, it's unbecoming at your age. By the way, do you need my address? Or... ? Nope, got your number already "ass" - oops, left off the "L" (actually I didn't, I'm mocking you). P.S. I hope you feel better and that there are no complications. Thank you dear, I feel tons better now that I've vented on you a bit - ready for round two?

Sneezed wrong and squicked my back a little. Not too bad, but had a second person who was qualified for my job and a slow night so got to come home to the rice bags. Kewl! I hope your back squicks back in again, though, back pain can be a bitch. That's a sort of what I went through. What I had done is an "anterior cervical discectomy with fusion at C6 and C7". What this involves is: cutting a two inch incision in the front of my neck, and a little to the left so as to miss the laryngeal nerve (which, if nicked, could have caused me to permanently lose my voice - not sure if DH is happy or sad that I didn't ;). Then they pushed aside the soft tissue (esophagus, trachea, carotid artery, jugular vein, and muscle - trying not to nick any of those either) to expose the front of the spine. Then they used a vertebrae "spreader" to separate the two vertebrae and expose the ruptured disc. They then cut through the outer wall of the disc and removed the disc. Then they used a bone drill to remove any stenosis (bone spurs) at the point where the nerves branch off from the spinal cord to the right and left. [At this point they were millimeters away from the spinal cord.] Then they inserted a piece of bone between the two vertebrae (from a bone bank - they didn't use mine from my hip, thank goodness - they say the pain from taking that graft is worse than the neck incision). [The bone is used as a wedge to keep the two vertebrae from pinching down on the nerves again.] Then they screwed on a titanium plate to the two vertebrae to keep them closed tightly over the bone implant until it all fuses into one bone. Then they closed and sutured each layer, stuck a bandaid over the whole mess and I'm done! If you're interested in the medical stuff, this explains it best: http://www.mayfieldclinic.com/PE-ACDF.htm and this has good illustrations: http://www.sofamordanek.com/spineline/ACDF.pdf. I came through the surgery well - hurts like hell, naturally, but everything went fine and I was up and walking as soon as they brought me to my room from recovery. They let me go home at 10AM the next day... to promptly get sick as a dog with the flu. I hadn't been able to keep anything in my stomach from Saturday night until this morning. I was too weak to lift my head from my pillow and could only lay there and do my best Camille impersonation (the character, not the hurricane - Greta Garbo's got nothing on me when it comes to portraying a dying woman!). Ben stayed home an extra day to take care of me. But... I feel a lot more human today - well enough to hobble to my office and post this. Naturally, the cats are doing a fantastic job of nursing me through this (though Ozzy and Archer seem to think this involves high-speed chases across my bed to make sure I keep circulation in my legs and my reflexes are normal). I'm about done it at this point, though, so I'm back off to bed again. Sorry for the novel - I'm still on tons of Vicodin and Robaxin (a *strong* anti-spasm muscle relaxer), so I tend to ramble on a bit. Hugs, CatNipped |

I hope your back squicks back in again, though, back pain can be a bitch. That's a sort of what I went through. I see. Hey, I hope no one minds if we get OT for a little? I'd like to know more as I'm headed your way on this. For basics, I have a C4 herniation, and a T4 and T5 herniation. Abnormal but not totally herniated T3 and narrowing at C5. General DDD of the progressive sort. What I had done is an "anterior cervical discectomy with fusion at C6 and C7". What this involves is: cutting a two inch incision in the front of my (snipping description but excellent run down, one day that will be me for the neck possibly). If you're interested in the medical stuff, this explains it best: http://www.mayfieldclinic.com/PE-ACDF.htm and this has good illustrations: http://www.sofamordanek.com/spineline/ACDF.pdf. I am glommering those pages totally. I came through the surgery well - hurts like hell, naturally, but everything went fine and I was up and walking as soon as they brought me to my room I have one very lucky advantage. I am *extremely* pain tolerant. The Docs keep wanting to give me stronger drugs but the Tramadol 50's are enough to kick it down to acceptable when it does act up. But... I feel a lot more human today - well enough to hobble to my office and post this. ;-) Naturally, the cats are doing a fantastic job of nursing me through this (though Ozzy and Archer seem to think this involves high-speed chases across my bed to make sure I keep circulation in my legs and my reflexes are normal). LOL! I'm about done it at this point, though, so I'm back off to bed again. I know the feeling. The most expensive chair in our house, is my really *good* computer chair with all the adjustments you can think of wanting. Even then, sometimes I have to lay down after 30 mins if the back is bad. This one is special as I'm 'vertically Challanged' at 5'1" tall and normal chairs do not hit the right spots. Sorry for the novel - I'm still on tons of Vicodin and Robaxin (a *strong* anti-spasm muscle relaxer), so I tend to ramble on a bit. Havent had Robaxin that I can recall. Vicodin sounds familiar though. I hope all feels a bit better by the time you see this in the morning! |

Darn. ---------- Vertebrae failing to fuse There are many reasons why vertebrae fail to fuse. These include smoking, osteoporosis, obesity, and malnutrition. Smoking is by far the greatest factor that can prevent a fusion from occurring. Nicotine is a toxin that inhibits bone-growing cells. If you continue to smoke after your operation, you could undermine the fusion process. ------- Bone density tests scheduled, seems i have a problem there. |
