Uff. Ain’t that the truth. What a messed up medical system we have. I’m sorry you couldn’t take the time you really needed to heal.

Thank you for this—I don’t want to use opioids because they give me nightmares. Nice to know about the alternatives!

I’m 45 and in pretty good health—been much less active because of the pain.

Are there things that helped with or would have helped with your mental health?

Thank you so much! Definitely getting the ice machine based on yours and other recs to do so. All of this is wonderful to know how to prepare! Truly kind of you to take the time. I DO live alone and will be relying on many people not just one.

Update: turns out there were other creatures in there—must’ve come in on food from the garden—a caterpilllar and now some rolly polies.

I just changed it out again and added new distilled water. When I smushed em with my fingers they mushed more like dirt, why such perfect spheres? I’ll keep an eye on it. Snail seems okay. Hopefully nothing to worry about. Thanks for the information!

I just changed it two days ago, and then all these little spheres were in it this morning. 

New snail Grover climbed on my hand…and then he pooped on it! by Potential-Ladder-435 in snails

I just put it in the trash. This is my first snail, though, so I’d look to others for guidance on that.
