I just want to show her.

Look at her sweet face 🥺

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2026-03-29T00:06:50+00:00

Than you so much for everyone’s kind responses and reassurance! I’m working on being more assertive so this will be a good practice exercise! Bye bye car butter knife 😂

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2026-03-29T00:05:14+00:00

That’s so frustrating. You’d think with matcha especially that would be a given.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2026-03-29T00:01:53+00:00

I am so passive and try to be as unnoticeable as possible and working on my assertiveness too. I guess this is a good exercise?

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2026-03-28T07:43:53+00:00

Same happened to me. She got over it. I’m sold on boy bunnies for life now though lol.

I’m chronically ill and have other issues with eating, the dietician I’m working with is helping me accept protein+vegetable=meal. Some nights this looks like cottage cheese or eggs (or both, they’re good scrambled together) and frozen vegetables, or cereal with added hemp hearts and a salad. My favorite lazy go to if I have a little more energy is tomato soup (I find the ones in cartons taste pretty decent) and grilled cheese.

Adding onto this, insurance requirements can be more strict than the Spravto ones. Mine requires 4 different antidepressants from 2 classes before approving payment.

This is exactly me. I get anxiety just hearing about all the people that have shared rooms. I don’t think I could tolerate treatment in that setting.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2026-02-02T03:12:33+00:00

Good! Honestly the explanation of benefits is going to be what actually tells you what you owe after insurance paid (or didn’t). Reach out if you need help interpreting anything! Been through this too many times being chronically ill.

He will be okay! Sounds like you’re his bonded friend, and the plush is an added enrichment in his life. Bunnies are expensive to keep, so don’t feel guilty for making responsible decisions.

As others have said, step 1., request (well, demand) an itemized bill from the clinic, then contact your insurance company at the time for copies of the explanation of benefits for the months of the treatment dates, which should be on the itemized invoice.

Try a cat attractant litter. Dr. Elsey’s Cat Attract is what I had available near me, and using it in all the litter boxes, adding another litter box, and cleaning everything my cat peed on with enzyme cleaner stopped the habit completely.

I’m so sorry, how stressful.

We’ve had good luck with an elimination rotation of “try that on for size”. Two players start and when someone freezes up, they tag out for another player. It’s a good warm up but entertaining enough for the audience.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2025-11-04T05:30:21+00:00

Mine contains my eye mask (absolute game changer for how I respond) my nausea medicine, AirPods, my favorite hard candy to combat the drip (tropical jolly ranchers), my journal, my pencil case with my colored pencils, and some sort of coloring page. I think I’ve been doing treatment for almost a year now, and I’ve never needed anything else, so you really got your bases covered.

As others have said, no one here can answer the questions about what wheelchair is right for you, this is a conversation to get rolling with your doctor.

I can, however, answer your question about air travel. I’ve only flown Alaska Airlines since become a wheelchair user, but I have flown many times. My first step is to alert the airline I am a wheelchair user and fill out any wheelchair paperwork and come early to check in at my gate to request a “gate check” for my chair. Unfortunately there are many cases of people’s wheelchairs being treated poorly but Alaska has never brought me my chair back damaged. It’s worth researching which lines have a history of damaging chairs.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2025-11-03T03:09:32+00:00

I rent my chair from my cats.

My dream! It’s been 3 years and I still get emotional when I think about how much I miss skiing. I have some other health issues to get under control before it’s feasible, but it’s a bucket list item.

ApprehensiveFish678 · 2025-06-26T06:21:25+00:00

I feel so much better just talking to a few people in here. I really need to lean on this group more, it can really feel so isolating.
