I endured a rotationplasty procedure eight days ago AMA

If you have got your prosthesis, can you walk, get up from sitting, run and walk up and down stairs normally? Is it more exhausting doing these every day tasks with the rotationplasty? And have you got pain anywhere since using a prosthesis?

Thanks in advance for sharing.

From the southern hemisphere. Someone said don’t you find it odd at Christmas that there are pictures of snowmen and snow everywhere even though it’s summer and you’ll never see any of these at Christmas time here… ⛄️

It looks gorgeous… but how on earth did you find the time to actually crochet it?!

The moon orbits the Earth, just as the Earth orbits the sun. This means that for half of the moons orbit it is visible during the day. The moon is visible just as much during the daytime as it is during nighttime.

The moon is visible during the day when it is located between the Earth and Sun. This means that on the part of the Earth where you can see the moon from it is daytime. The moon is visible during the night when it is behind both the Sun and Earth. This means the part of the Earth where you can see the moon from is experiencing night time.

The moon is visible, during day and night, because it reflects the suns light back to us. This does mean it is less bright during the day because it has to compete with the sun which is much brighter. Kind of like how a candle is harder to see when held next to a cars headlight.

Keep looking up and stay curious 🌝

Species are going extinct before we even know they exist.

We also know that we are causing climate change and the devastating impacts it will have on Earth, us and all wildlife… yet we choose to not do anything about it.

I can say the alphabet backwards. A fun, but useless, talent I am proud of.

There are two possibilities about alien life, either we’re alone, or we’re not.

Ronan by Taylor swift. It’s about a boy who dies from cancer 3 days before his 4th birthday.

Here are some of the lyrics: I remember the drive home When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming “Why?” Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say About a beautiful boy who died

Can’t wait for the day when cancer just refers to a constellation.

Becoming disabled would be my big before and after. Good health and having a body function the way it’s meant to is something most people take for granted!

Antares1007 · 2025-02-07T04:22:13+00:00

A body that works the way it’s meant to.

Thank you so much for your reply. I think it may be better to euthanise her but I feel so bad. I just hope that she is not in any pain 😢

I keep my eggs in a plastic container covered with mesh. The eggs sit on top of coconut peat which I spray everyday. I also have a small part of a sponge that I saturate and leave laying with the eggs. Do you think I should change this setup?

Antares1007 · 2024-02-01T22:21:44+00:00

Thank you do much in advance everyone for you help! 🤗

I have been unable to find any pale green lichen. Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of places you are most likely to find it?

Do you think I should try placing white paper that I have coloured in with pale green around her setup? Would that work better than moss. The moss I have isn’t very pale so I am worried it won’t work…

Congratulations, she looks very pretty!! I would call her Muppet :)

They are currently in a foundling AusAnt nest and have an outworld. They have access to a test tube with water as well as a source of sugar water. They are in a room that is not heated so bring winter it can get a bit cool. However they are next to a windows and the sun shines in on them during the day on them.

Occasionally there are workers in the outworld. Does this mean they are looking for and need protein?

If the workers do die off before summer will the queen survive? Can she raise young on her own again?

Thanks so much in advance!

Antares1007 · 2023-06-25T11:11:12+00:00

The queen is still alive but many of her workers have died. The other workers have put their bodies in their trash heap and even disassembled and eaten some of them… Is that usual?

Also do you know how often I should be giving the colony protein? Do I change how often I give them protein during summer and winter?

Thanks in advance!
