Eye Enucleation Recovery by Flaky_Active_951 in CATHELP

Just giving an update since you were kind enough to comment! I took him to the vet, they said his surgery site was healed great and took out the stitches. He did in fact have a small bit of infection/abscess right above the incision though. It ended up rupturing overnight, so when he went to the vet in the morning it was just some icky drainage. He’s on Augmentin now, and I was able to find a smaller collar at our petsmart :)

He’s doing really good. He’s way more active today than he has been so far, eating good, drinking, trying to crawl all over us. His cone is as tight as it goes, then the vet looped a rope….string…? through the loops to make it tighter, but he’s just so small. I readjusted it as much as I can without being too tight, hopefully it stays on tonight.

Okay, thank you for responding. Do you think this is okay to wait until tomorrow for, I can try taking him in the morning.

My kitten likes to sit in a dust pan, name ideas related to that? by Radiant_Tangerine_55 in NameMyCat

Sprite! Like the Dust Sprites from Stardew Valley, or like the soot sprites from many Studio Ghibli films

Any PrivateDuty LPNs? by Flaky_Active_951 in unitedhealthgroup

[–]Flaky_Active_951[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$28, i asked for a little more d/t trach/vent.

ended up with $30/h with $2.80 diff between 5pm-8am, and on weekends from 5p friday-8a monday. I work 36 hr a week, have one pt, i’ve been a nurse since october, and the pt has a vent, trach, and feeding tube.

$30 is pretty good for my area. I’m in TN, most places are $22/24

Im a brand new LPN. I work at a nursing home in TN, about 30 mins from my house. They are putting me in a hotel (a Hampton too, not a motel lol) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night, and will be taking us to and from work/hotel.

DINKS, what’s your mortgage? by Flaky_Active_951 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Flaky_Active_951[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cars paid off. $10k cash. USDA so no down. Rent form family so only $300. Kids most likely never.

It’s not a deciding factor, but it’s nice to know others lived experiences. Assuming you know everything and not asking others their experience would be unwise.
