COLD DARK ROOM

[Maro2Bear]

Same to you - although it's Weds here now so I'll wish you a wonderful Wednesday too!

Hows the weather today?

Thanks Lyn, I think I overreacted with Opo. What was ironic was after I go under anaesthesia. It takes my bowels about a week to wake up. So this was happening at the same time. I didn't want Opo getting impacted. Not fun LOL
Hope you are doing well.

Best thing is to not over react with Opo. Extra soaks, plenty of cactus, and greens and exercise. Rinse repeat. Your guy is still easily soaked, so should be soaking regularly. Good things are moving slong in many directions for u n Opo.

Thanks for mentioning me Carol. Operation went well everything was going well and then I was having some pain. Went to the doctors yesterday and removed the dressing. I have some infection. So antibiotics and every 3 days back to the doctors. Doctor says he doesn't want the infection to spread that will mean a pic line. Slight temp of 100. But it's looking like I will be walking on my prosthetic leg by the end of the month.

A long dark tunnel but getting closer to the light.. stay positive Ray!

I couldn't give two hoots about that theory!
(actually never heard of it but I'll google)

Well...

 

[Cathie G]

Keep the trunks and just make more space by filling them with everything else.
Out of sight out of mind!

Amen! They are too pretty to part with. Store blankets, momentos,etc...

While I was down I don't think Opo was being soaked or exercised like usual. I cant wait to get ahead of the game with Opo. Being behind the 8 ball makes me uncomfortable.

Thanks I am starting to see the light at the end of this tunnel

I'm really glad to see you post an update. That means you feel a little better. You and family are a favorite of mine. Omg I just realized everybody here is my favorite...I have to have my daily fix even if it's just a hey.

Maybe try a mattress topper.
You can get memory foam toppers or just padded toppers.
Or if you have a spare duvet try putting that under your bottom sheet. I've done that before on old beds and it worked a treat!
Stay warm!

I never thought duvet covers were a real thing, in actual use... until I moved to England!

For those of us in the U.S. (or at least the southern part), duvet = comforter... sort of. In the UK, they sell duvet covers anywhere you buy the rest of your bedding, and they launder them when they wash the pillowcases, fitted sheet, etc. The thing that was odd for me at first was that the duvet cover sort of replaces the flat sheet. So it's fitted sheet, then duvet inside the cover.

In the U.S, washing a comforter typically requires a fairly large washing machine, as the comforter and cover don't come separated. Duvet covers can be a pain to put back on, after washing and drying.

On the bright side, all the stray Nerf bullets make for great cat toys... They throw well, and Whoosh doesn't even have to dunk them in the water bowl to get a good toss!

I agree [emoji851]
I love to read

So sorry Noel. I forgot to put you in my summary. I really need to write down all the names of roommates. [emoji85] [emoji85] There is always someone I forget.

I think I caught the CDR bug.
Went to bed not feeling great and woke up with a cold and achy shoulders.

I made myself run to the pet store to look for more meds for our Betta. No luck.
I’m still trying to save him. I give him salt baths and nothing is working. I feel like he’s suffering but I don’t know what to do [emoji17]
I’m on the couch eating cookies and resting before school pick up and a kid Dr. Appointment.

Oh no Kathy. I hope it does not throw you for a loop like the others. Get better soon.

 

[CarolM]

Yea. I always look for you...and the rest of the CDR too. I have to have my daily fix.

I know the feeling.

 

[CarolM]

I like using herbs now and then on me and my animals...if I'm not mistaken bettas can live in little mud puddles. Maybe the leaves that fall make a light tea in the water. Echinacea is one of my favorite teas for me and my animals. Just a thought.

Interesting thought.

 

[CarolM]

A few YouTube videos showed using almond leaves. I have no idea where to find them.

Yvonne has stacks of them. Just saying.

I have to use the mobile version because I lost the paper I wrote my password on. I think I know what it is but I'm too afraid to try it on my laptop. I'm afraid I'll get locked out of TFO. I have an icon on my phone sooo my phone has to live forever and ever.

Just change your password. Or say you forgot it.

Oh no, but glad that it is under control for now. Big infection fighting vibes coming your way.

Hood Wednesday everyone.
I hope it is an awesome one.

 

[Kristoff]

Totally missed that. [emoji23]

Oh dear. We really need a volunteer to do some spring cleaning here! @johnandjade was amazing at this. @Tidgy’s Dad also did a great job. So did Bea @Moozillion, I think. Who’s gonna do it this year?
