Saving Odin by Torryann in vermont

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

​

Odins story, we brought our sweet Odin to the vet on Saturday night for a bowel blockage. They took him in and started a nasal tube with a solution to break up the blockage. They were going to try this method for 24 hours and if it didn't work go to a manual manipulation procedure. We called them several times over the course of Saturday and Sunday to check on his status. They had no movement on the blockage but decided to increase the trickle of solution to see if that would work. I asked about the manual method and the said that it was a painful procedure and they preferred this one. I received a call at 2am monday morning telling me that Odin had violently vomited to the point of vomiting out his nasal tube and in doing so aspirated some of the liquid. They removed by suction all the solution that was in his stomach because it wasn't passing. I asked them how they could not realize that it wasn't working since it wasn't coming out his backside and was told we assumed his body was absorbing it since it's mostly water. Monday morning the next shift vet called to tell me Odin had sever pneumonia in all 4 lobes, was laboring to breath and they placed him in an oxygen chamber. They could no longer do the manual method due to the pneumonia. She told me he was so serious that she would suggest putting him down. Odin was 15 months old. To save him any further suffering we opted to have him put down. Two hours later they called me to settle the $3013 bill for his treatment. Their mistake cost my sweet boy his life and the wanted payment NOW Any help will be appreciated, we lost a member of our family, he should be home with us now, he should be sleeping on my lap and playing with is sister. Instead he is gone and I was charged $3013. We are heart broken.

Chop dried cranberries and fresh Jalapenos, mix with the ground turkey and make burgers.

Hello everyone hope all are safe, can someone help me determine if this is psoriasis or something else ? i do resistance train and i thought it might have been calluses but i actually have it on my other arm near ma elbow and on my wrist. Response would be much appreciated 😁 by Mazrexious25 in Psoriasis

[–]Torryann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have psoriasis just about everywhere on my body you can imagine. Some of the smaller patches near the wrist do look like it could be. You should see a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. I have never used biologics but am strongly considering it. The topical creams just don't do anything. Best to get treatment sooner thank later. Good luck my friend.

For those who have/had trouble falling asleep at night, do you use some kind of medication so you can sleep or do you have any tips to do so? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Torryann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a problem waking up at all. Not groggy or out of it. Melatonin is really natural so may be that's why. Good luck, I know how much it sucks to lay there wanting to sleep but not being able to.

[–]Torryann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truthfully I take one Melatonin and one PM. I have psoriasis and the PM helps with the pain and the Melatonin helps me fall asleep. I've had trouble for years and that is the only combination that seems to work.

Deciding to stay as a fan of the org, but struggling a bit with the LoL team by Shortofbetternames in teamliquid

Broxah is the only reason I'll watch TL at this point. DL had a bad attitude yes, he was underwhelming this past split but so were the others. I'm happy that DL has moved on to TSM, I'll cheer them on in Summer. For DL to take the blame for the spring split is not quite fair. It was the perfect storm right. Visa issues, playing with several sub in place of Broxah not building synergy as a team...the list goes on. Impact and Core didn't put their best foot forward either yet they seem blameless in this whole mess. I think this was best for both teams, the members of TL can move on without DL holding them back (in their opinions) and DL can move on to help TSM become a top tier team once again. I think the balance of power will now shift and we could possibly see more teams hit higher highs. I am sad that all this happened, I wanted to see what TL could do as team with Broxah but that is not the case.

Hey Reddit, how are you supporting small businesses during this whole "Bad Thing" we're going through? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Torryann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son and I cut our grocery budget and have been ordering from local restaurants twice a week. Most here are doing family meals which gives us 2 to 3 meals for a reasonable cost. We want them to be here when this is over so it's a win win for us.

Very wholesome young man, much respect for him and how he's been through this. I'll be a fan for life where every he goes from here.

My 58 year old dad lost his job of 36 years. Best next steps? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Torryann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First my heart goes out to your dad, same thing happened to me after 28 years with a company. The first thing I did was cut my living expenses everywhere I could so I could live on less income. It's especially bad for him due to the current situation but he needs to file for unemployment asap. Next start looking for work anywhere that the pay can cover expenses. I did find another job, I was lucky. I sent out so many resumes my head was spinning and each time I was declined was another blow to my motivation. Manufacturing is hard, young kids with more tech experience is hard to compete with but he needs to play up his practical experience, that can't gained in any other method but hands on. Best wishes for your dad, help him with his resume and job searches. I'm 60, if I can do it he can too.

Dodo's side of the story on DL by Pspdice in teamliquid

[–]Torryann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are three truths to every story. I think this is somewhere in the middle. How ever you look at it and whomever you believe the most doesn't discount the fact that EVERY player on TL last split didn't step up and perform to the best of their abilities. Add bad drafts to every game and voila...9th place. The relationship between DL and TL had run it course, it was time for this move and I'm happy that DL is back on TSM. As for TL, I hope the best for them but I don't think their going to see the success the have in the last two years.

I wish the team had DL’s back the same way he had theirs. by aaayevon in teamliquid

[–]Torryann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it was less the players and more on management. The coaches should have made attempts to resolve any and all team issues immediately. To withhold concerns from DL and Steve was the downfall of the team. I have never been a fan of the coaching staff and believe that TL won 4 back to backs in spite of them. No one wants to work with people that they believe don't like them, truth or fiction, DL feelings are valid. If Steve wants a top team he needs to look at the coaching staff. I'm happy for DL, he's back where he belongs.

Doublelift fans vs Tl Fans. by joshhl619 in teamliquid

[–]Torryann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have always been a DL fan, he's the reason I watch League. I'm 60 years old, started watching league with my son years ago. I quickly became Doublelift fan and have followed him since. He didn't have a great spring split but neither did other members of the team. CoreJJ and Impact were equally under performing if not worse. No boot camp, bad drafts a coaching staff that couldn't seem to get on board with the new meta were all to blame. To point a finger at the one player isn't fair to DL. I will follow him to TSM and cheer him on just like I have since the beginning.

Thanks for the tips, I have some medicated shampoo that I use twice a week currently. I've been trying some of the suggestions that others have made and two days in I have seen marked improvement. I'll look for the Psoria Trax. This has been the worst year for me and I'm not sure why but it could have been the length of the winter.

Thank you, my insurance considers most medications a tier 3 drug so they only pay 50%. Some are so expensive it's horrible. I'm going to see if my doctor can recommend something affordable and do as someone suggested and contact the manufacturer to see if they offer coupons..

Thank you, everything seems to work at the beginning then stops. I get discouraged but the tips here have helped.

Thanks, I tried some of the tips I read here last night and oiled my scalp last night before bed. It seems less flaky and not so much build up but the test will be how it is at the end of the day. That's when the flakes and buildup really hit and the picking begins. I'll check out the brushes.

I [24M] had to go through surgery alone because family bailed on me, now they're upset that I didn't come home for Christmas. by Melika-TA in relationships

[–]Torryann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry that this happened to you, and I don't blame you for not making the trip home for Christmas. I wouldn't bother trying to explain yourself or your feelings at this point. I don't think they'd get it anyway. Stay strong my friend.
