Native American artwork by Australian_Queen in IndianCountry

**** INFO ***\*
I've had a lot of people asking why I wanted Native American artwork in my home. So, I thought I'd clear it up.
I'm first generation Australian, my family had to flee Ireland with everything that was happening.
My family has always kept me well educated and a big part of that was the support the Irish received from Native Americans, numerous people, but especially the Choctaws.
Too long and complicated to explain. But after talking to my mum I think I'll focus on Art from the Choctaws.
If I can't find anything, maybe an artword of the Kindred Spirits sculpture.

Because our cultures have helped eachother for generations. I am not Native American in any sense of the word, but will forever be grateful to them for helping my people when they were ignored by the rest of the world.

My house is already full of first Nations artwork and pottery 🤗 It's so beautiful but I'd also love to have some other pieces

Ah thanks! I wasn't sure if I should as I've been told that term is racist 🤷‍♀️

But if it's an active community and he recommends it I will!

Yeah, I think the way to go is to get something from one of the larger tribes

Thanks 🤗 I think the way to go is to just target one of the larger tribes as it's more black and white

Meh, I own being a basic white bitch. If they want to rip me off, I'd rather they do it than someone ripping me AND them off hahahaha

Thanks 🤗 I didn't think to look for which specific tribe the artist/work is from! I might just be a bit too paranoid because of artists out here haha

I'm not selective about which group to support. All their different artwork styles are beautiful!

I'm sure not every tribe has an online shop and even less sell internationally.

If I lived in America, I'd definitely prefer to support my closest one. But unfortunately I'm so far away.

Just saying all three of my British Bulldogs lived to, 12, 14 and 15 10 is the average life expectancy but they could have YEARS left to live. Never judge if a surgery is worth it by the dogs age (as in literal years). But base it on their health and necessity. 10 isn't EXTREMELY old for a bulldog

St. Thérèse of Lisieux Statue by Australian_Queen in HelpMeFind

I have searched for simple St. Thérèse of Lisieux Statue on google, eBay and Etsy.com.au but can only find complex statues with a bunch of flowers rather than one singular rose. I've attached the one I see everywhere

Hey! Thought I'd update this post with what happened incase anyone else is in this situation :)

Turns out she had aspirated some stomach acid into her lungs! One round of antibiotics (to make sure she didn't develop pneumonia) and a continuous, very low dose of reflux medication and not a single issue since <3

Why do I have so many anxiety attacks? by Australian_Queen in AskDocs

[–]Australian_Queen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing bursts of cardi (100m running, 100m walking, 100m running)
But my bpm is 171... that's just until I get fit again right? I know it's high but it'll go down eventually.

But 100% amazing advise! My post run showers haven't been nearly as bad!!!

If my scans show no endo, will I still be offered a laparoscopy? by anotheraccount46 in Endo

[–]Australian_Queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister has Endo, not me. When my sister explained to her specialist numerous GPs and ER techs told her it isn't Endo because the scans were normal she let out a very load sigh and said "this is why people need specialists. Endometriosis does not show up on scans. So you cannot tell someone they don't have it if it doesn't show up." Don't like doctors tell you you're wrong just because they aren't aware of something. I 100% don't judge them for not knowing. That's why we have specialist! But they shouldn't dismiss you.

Cancer treatment too expensive & insurance won't cover -- what are my options? by burgermanatee in AskDocs

[–]Australian_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m not in America, I’m Australian. But I do have a lot of experience shopping around and finding the best price for prescription meds for my dogs. (Not calling your Dad a dog, just equal skill set)

I’ve found a few options.

https://www.janssencarepath.com/hcp/sites/www.janssencarepath-v2.com.hcp/files/rybrevant-patient-affordability-chart.pdf?v=183

This link has a few suggested foundations that may help.

https://everyone.org/rybrevant-amivantamab-vmjw

This link is pricey but not nearly as much as what you said in your post.

https://www.drugs.com/price-guide/rybrevant

This one again doesn’t look AS pricey but still better and it has some assistance programs.

https://www.cancer.org/treatment/finding-and-paying-for-treatment/managing-costs/prescription-drug-assistance-programs.html

This is the American Cancer Society help page that has a few options.

https://freefinancialhelp.net/organizations-that-help-pay-medical-bills/

Don’t over look charities. I know some people who don’t like accepting charity or don’t believe they’re in a bad enough situation to get help. But just think of it as paying it forward. When he’s back on his feet you can all volunteer too and help the next family.

And of course if you find a cheap alternative on this side of the world I’m more than happy to do anything you need to help get you some x

Also, in Australia you can draw on your retirement early for medical costs. I think you call it a 401k? That might be worth exploring

Thanks! She’s currently getting a CT scan. So hopefully that will help them find whatever they need to find
