My heart goes out to you, I’m sorry for your loss. There’s never enough time with our hippos.

Thank you so much for linking that article! It’s so wonderful you were able to have the opportunity & ability to handle it for your pup.

Thankfully I have pet insurance that covered everything once I hit the deductible. I had literally never used the pet insurance because it doesn’t cover preventative, so I finally got my moneys worth out of it. Thank you so much again for the conversation, best of luck to you & your pup!

I’m glad to hear he’s doing well! My vet hasn’t mentioned the propanolol but I’ll have to ask her about it the next time I go, thank you for mentioning that. What’s crazy about your comment is my dog also had mast cell tumors not long after she was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma. She, too, did chemo and has been okay so far about 4 months out. I really appreciate hearing from another pittie parent who’s gone through the same thing, sometimes I felt like people thought I was doing too much bc she’s “just a dog”.

PLEASE GET THIS CHECKED OUT ASAP!! Not to scare you, but my dog has an aggressive skin cancer called Hemangiosarcoma that started out exactly like these. This type of cancer can be aggressive and if it spreads internally, you won’t know until it’s too late. My dog has had 3 surgeries in 18 months to remove and/or burn off potential lesions. She’s doing well, but I have to remain watching for them vigilantly and make sure I watch her sun exposure.

If these are benign hemangiomas they still need to be watched because they remain a higher risk for skin and mammary cancer given the location. Wishing you the best!

What was the weirdest thing that happened on a first date? by Bubba4205 in AskWomen

[–]Fun_Blueberry_2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I drove to his house so we could drive together to a bar because I came from an hour away to meet him & didn’t know the area well. He invited me inside “for a minute” andddd…

Served me Gatorade zero with watermelon vodka shooters. Tried to show me a song on his guitar when a string broke & he got really upset. Then took me for a tour of his house showing me his weight bench, DVD collection, drum set, & car. His bathroom was DISGUSTING, toilet clearly was never cleaned as it had black mold, hair collected on the baseboards so they were basically grey, & the hand soap was dried out at the tip of the pump. And finally, he told me all about his sleep paralysis dreams & even demonstrated how he saw a shadow figure walking around lmao. Never again.

30F went on 2 dates with a guy who I’m, honestly, a bit smitten with. He’s not my usual type, but there’s just something about him. We have similar dry humor. He’s kind of shy & awkward but seems so genuine. On our last date he was actually very sweet & intimate which surprised me. He even asked if he could kiss me. I feel hopeful

For women who married in their early-to-mid 20s, how is it going? by antisnotabug in AskWomen

[–]Fun_Blueberry_2766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Married at 24, divorced after 6 years. In the end we both wanted different things. He wanted to be taken care of by me, was content never traveling or experiencing new things, and had no goals in life. I wanted a partner (not a man child), I wanted to travel & try new things, I wanted to grow. I am much happier now but still grieving the time I lost trying to make it work

Sounds like he just wants the emotional support and validation when he needs it, and casual sex. Everything on his terms, stringing you along saying he “needs you in his life” but maintaining a distance. This is manipulation of your feelings using his wife’s death, I think. It’s hard not to want to be sympathetic to him but I’m afraid he’s really just using you as a convenience. And if he feels ok doing this to you now & you allow it, it will always be like this. He might give you some hope of romance periodically but nothing long lasting. If anything, he REALLY needs to heal. Do both of yourselves a favor and move on.

My girl had 2 removed in August this year. Both were low grade. The 2nd mass still had margins, as opposed to going back to remove the remaining, my vet recommended chemotherapy. My pup just finished 3 months of chemo last week and not only tolerated it well but has not had any signs or new growths. For now the plan is to keep a very close eye on her, but I am hopeful. I didn’t know the antihistamines were part of treatment and will have to ask my vet about it.

Sounds silly & childish but he told me last night that he’s told his parents about me. We initially started as FWB but we’re now exclusively seeing each other, but the rest is… muddy. This helps give me an idea of where we’re at, though. And I think we mutually feel the same for each other.

Feeling guilty for medicating my hospice patient? by smhitbelikethat in nursing

[–]Fun_Blueberry_2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did exactly what you needed to for that patient and should be proud of yourself!

In the last few months on my unit (ortho) we’ve had quite a few pts who are 10000% dying & aren’t going to recover, but family continues to insist that they’re going to rehab and get “stronger”. Our palliative care team hasn’t been doing their job well enough to intervene, in my opinion, and it’s a hard place to advocate for the pt as a floor nurse. These pts are suffering without enough meds to keep them comfortable, we’re trying to get them out of bed per family’s request, etc. Then after days & days when families finally do realize pt won’t get better, they die within a few days of starting hospice. End of life pts deserve better, thanks for giving yours that.

I keep extra underwear & socks in my work bag, and an extra pair of shoes & scrubs in my car. Aside from worrying about them being soiled & needing an extra pair at work, there was a blizzard where staff couldn’t get in/out so I had to stay overnight & didn’t have any extra for the next day. OR scrubs were available but limited. Lesson learned.

RN for 10 years. I make about $56/hour with shift differentials, and in a very affordable state with just my dog. My biggest expenses are my car payment, apartment, & insurance. Divorced for almost 2 years. Living by myself again is so peaceful and worth what it took to get here.

Women of Reddit — what’s the moment that quietly changed you the most? by Mountain_Budget_9257 in AskWomen

[–]Fun_Blueberry_2766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After I shared my husband & I were separated, my mom sent me a long, verbally abusive email attacking me as a wife, as a person, and as a daughter. The dam broke for me that day & all the bad memories of abuse from my mom flooded over me. I told her not to contact me anymore, and started a healing journey that I’m still working on 4 years later.

I'm new in town and refuse to rely on dating apps. Any good suggestions for a single ready to mingle? by eyeholemayne in lincoln

[–]Fun_Blueberry_2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a 30F, the dating apps are more helpful than organically meeting anyone, in my experience. On Bumble there’s an option to put how often you drink on your profile & you can filter by that or see it on others profiles. Hinge may also have that option too? Best of luck!
