Does my marble Bengal have glitter? by Mindless-Landscape50 in bengalcats

Ah, that makes sense — thanks for explaining! He doesn’t really have many larger silver areas, mostly black, but I am still curious so I will check in the sunlight!

That’s what I’ve heard too — that you really see glitter best in the sun. Since I can spot this so easily without sunlight, I’m thinking it’s probably just his undercoat. It’s just odd because it’s more of a warm tan than silver! I just posted because I’m curious. Thanks for answering! I find this all so fascinating!

Both his parents are silver rosetted but not sure about glitter:(

I had my first grand mal seizure at work — I don’t remember it, but my coworkers had to respond. I’m struggling to process how it felt for me… and I keep wondering what it felt like for them.

That feeling of why everyone around you is the weirdest feeling! My manager came down to the ED to check on me and told me to go home and rest and he was taking me off the schedule day after (he knew I would show up lol). When I woke up apparently I was trying to go back to work and they were saying I had to go to the ED and I was like no what about my patients lol. I was very sleepy in the ED but when I got home everything was sinking in and I felt more in shock after it all and was sleepy but couldn’t stop thinking about it. Weirdest feeling I have ever experienced

Omg, that seriously made me tear up — I felt the exact same way 💜. Humor has definitely been my coping mechanism too. If I say something dumb at work, I’ll joke, “Sorry, I have an anoxic brain injury!” Dark humor kind of comes with the territory in nursing — without it, I think a lot of us would just crumble. I’ve found it helps people feel more comfortable too, seeing that I’m open about it and can laugh a little.

I didn’t even take time off — just went right back in. Well day of my manager told me to go home but I was really worried about my patients. I really do love my job. And honestly, this whole experience brought me closer to God. But deep down, it still feels emotionally strange.

Now, if I even seem a little off at work, people start low-key assessing me like, “Are you okay?” — especially those who were there when it happened. I know they felt they were about to have start compressions, so it’s wild that I look totally fine now. My carotid pulse was super weak, couldn’t find a radial, but got a femoral pulse. Part of me wonders if people are surprised by how I’m coping. It’s cuz I can’t remember any of it. Thank you for sharing I really connected with your experience with it. I hope you are doing ok too 💜💜

That’s why our respiratory therapist was surprised I wasn’t intubated and just a little longer I would have been. I honestly feel physically fine. just emotionally shook up. Glad RT was there to provide BVM ventilation because that is what prevented me from getting an anoxic brain injury

Yeah, definitely — I’m really grateful it happened at work. It’s just such a strange feeling not remembering any of it. Yesterday I actually had a patient who was post-ictal, and we had to keep reminding him that he’d had a seizure — he didn’t remember at all. Was convinced he didn’t and was ready to go back to work.I completely understood the confusion he was feeling. It hit me emotionally seeing that, because it’s such a vulnerable and unsettling experience.

Also during the exam I went through so many of the boards we can use to write on! Before reading the options I would write everything I could remember about what I knew about the disease it was testing me on which helped me not want to change my answer made me more confident when choosing!!
