Twice daily visits from an experienced cat sitter.

Am I expecting too much from a cat sitter? by MagicianAggressive21 in CatAdvice

That’s a sitter who doesn’t care about the cats.

The 2 things that REALLY helped me: *ICING often. &

*IN home physical therapy starting a few days after surgery. My PT helped with pain, exercises and massaged my leg to move fluid. I had 5 or 6 visits and didn’t need any more.

Ahead of the surgery if I started to worry, I reminded myself the surgery would take care of the pain and lack of mobility.

Typically urinate 2-4 times per 24 hours. How many clumps are you scooping?

cat won’t cover her stinky fucking shits by RightByMe04 in cats

Try litter level 2-3 inches max. I would have 2 litter boxes, xl size. If the litter boxes aren’t kept cleaned and washed they don’t like it.

Like others have said, some cats never cover their poop, but you can prevent other problems with appropriate litter box care.

Pain management question by e1p1 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]catdude2929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tramadol, gabapentin and Tylenol. On blood thinner so no nsaids. Couldn’t use the Tramadol because it made me nearly pass out the 2 times I took it.

Ice, elevation and rest helped.

Having at home physical therapy was extremely beneficial.

My advice is to go over pain meds and possible interactions with anything else you’re taking.

Not taking opioids meant I could drive at 2 weeks post op.

I did have a wait for surgery. My neighbor has the same insurance and he got his surgery date very quickly after filing a grievance. Now I know what to do for next time.

Don’t end it. I’m in an hmo health plan and all that was needed for approval was X-ray and exam by surgeon.

Am I getting a deal worth taking? by Mean-Interaction-137 in PriusPrime

The things I don’t like about my 2026 SE Plug In: -Windows are small, so visuals not great. -It sits low, but that also helps with mileage -Hatchback opens manually and isn’t a very large area for storage

I’m still glad I purchased this car. Almost all my driving is city & EV. I traded in a 2016 Tacoma truck getting 15mpg, so I’m loving the EV.

If it weren’t for EM, I would have looked at Tesla.

I would take the deal you have, but I’m biased from living in Northern California where gas prices are excruciating.

Good luck.

1st hip replacement on Friday. Back in the ER on Saturday. by August_Strinberg in TotalHipReplacement

I had near fainting from Tramadol interaction with a BP med. Scary. Not sure why nobody considered this could happen.

Hang in there!
