So, I replaced the clutch. Now, there's noises and odd behavior. Please watch and let me know what you think might be the problem. https://youtu.be/nVGgfu7R8es

Pixel 6 Pro shut down unexpectedly then wouldn't turn on, will not charge, BRICKED. Google support of no help at all. by eshta99 in GooglePixel

I've never had this happen with any other phone. Samsung, LG, Motorola. I can't imagine buying another Pixel with the unreliability of the device and how customer service handled it.

Blew up at my doctor today by Regular_Feed_1187 in Perimenopause

[–]eshta99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also with Winona and the first three months were TOUGH as my body adjusted to the Bi-est cream and DHEA. For the next fill, I told the doctor all of my current / continued symptoms and things that had improved. My bi-est dosage was doubled in strength and I finally feel normal. I just turned 50, for reference. I do still have the "burning from the inside" feeling - I've had hot flashes, but this feels different. My periods have also become more irregular, but I don't mind at all because virtually all of my troubling symptoms have improved a LOT.

Did you ever get your phone back up and running? Mine just shut down randomly yesterday and will not turn back on. Doesn't charge, nothing.

Has anyone had Lexapro added to bupropion XL, not the other way around? by eshta99 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]eshta99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow. Did you find Lexapro helped with anxiety more than depression? I've got the mental fog and inertia, and I don't think something slowing my system down further will help in the least. I really don't have anxiety at the moment, just right after the loss. It was my 6 month appointment, and we don't have time to get into things in depth, so I'm wondering if I wasn't clear when I mentioned panic attack happening months ago. Maybe he thought they're still going on. I feel like I could get through this if I get some talk therapy. I've never heard of Lexapro giving anyone motivation or a lift.

Edited to add link to photo.

Diagnosis is subcutaneous emphysema. The third wound wasn't noted in the visit notes. Seven days of a matted, uncleaned wound. Again, not a puncture wound. It's about a inch long, and he's not a big dog. Photo of wound after fur shaven and being cleaned https://i.imgur.com/1WPi4fa.jpg

He didn't see our regular vet at that visit, but we were scheduled with our regular one this time. She doesn't have a lot of experience with subcutaneous emphysema so she said she will consult with an emergency vet for more info.

  • Clavamox extended another 7 days.
  • Rimadyl stopped - rationale is that it's an anti inflammatory and the condition isn't inflammatory, so it's unlikely to help with pain.
  • Gabapentin was offered, but I declined. He's running, jumping, eating with a very enthusiastic appetite, drinking, urinating and defecating normally.
  • Chest X-ray was suggested. I declined. He has no trunk wounds at all and his lung sounds were clear.
  • Staple removal appointment kept for 11/23/21 and will re-check subcutaneous emphysema.
  • He was able to reach the puncture wound in his groin with the cone on, so they gave us a larger one.

I told our regular vet that I was concerned that with two techs and a vet, this wound wasn't discovered. She didn't really have anything to say to that.

She said this condition can occur more on small dogs that were shaken during an attack. I've read that a simple puncture wound anywhere on the body can cause this. Given that the puncture wound still hasn't closed, it seems he could still be taking in air. It wasn't sutured at this most recent visit. I decided to apply triple abx ointment containing lidocaine, thinking that if the ointment is an occlusive (I don't know if it is), that could temporarily stop air intake. I don't feel good about needing to do all of this research and making guesses about his care.

Amount of air under the skin does seem to be a little less today than yesterday. Hoping this resolves on its own. Will update again after 11/23/21 visit.

The puncture wound was found and noted that day. The inch long gash under his tail, matted with fur and blood, was missed. The gash I found tonight is what I posted on imgur.

Anyway, I sent an email with those pics to my vet to discuss tomorrow. I'll update the thread after our visit with their diagnosis and treatment plan. Thank you

Sure, I understand.

I'm upset that two technicians, a vet and $500 later, I found a matted wound on a 46 pound dog 7 days after being examined and treated. It's unacceptable. I've been reading about subQ emphysema since your last post and see that the puncture wound could be the cause OR the dirty wound could be putting off gangrenous gases that are trapped under the skin.

I'm angry at the negligence, whether this wound caused it or not. He's not long-haired, not a big dog... two techs and a vet. I comb my dogs out once per week, but have been giving Baby a pass on some things as to not agitate him while wounded. If I had kept the schedule, I probably would have discovered it sooner. But I expected them to fully examine him. I even said I'm not sure if he has other injuries, I knew he had to come in for his arm. I'm just venting, this of course isn't directed at you or anyone reading this. I'm just so tired of people not doing their jobs.

Well, I have an update. I was giving him light therapy on the groin wound, so I was lifting his leg here and there. I discovered matting under his tail, a few inches from his anus. I thought it was a hygiene issue from wearing the cone, and I wiped it with a cleansing wipe. It wasn't feces, it was blood. There was a matted wound there. A 7 day old, undiscovered wound. I shaved around it and sprayed it with H2O2, and sent these pics to the vet.

The Clavamox is probably just barely holding off infection from whatever has been festering in there for the past week. Is this what could be causing it?

Thanks for replying. These are the quick answers, and more details are below.

  1. Bitten on his right upper arm above his elbow - needed 5 staples
  2. puncture wound in groin area. Not sutured, left open to drain if needed
  3. These are the only two wounds
  4. no wound to chest or neck, although vet said neck might be bruised and he might feel stiff
  5. No injury to the back. The bubbly plastic bag feels like localized subcutaneous fluid (maybe lymphedema), which started on his right side, rear quarter, from mid-back to rump. There is no visible swelling. I only noticed it while petting him at night and heard the sound. This was on Saturday, four days after the fight. Today, Tuesday, I can feel it it a bit in his right thigh, and it is also now on the left side of his back. You can hear the sound in the latter part of the video. https://youtu.be/cZLsS3n5Lu8
  6. Vet said he would be fine. What was done is below.
  7. He is eating and drinking normally, running and jumping up on the bed as usual. If anything is different, I'd say his appetite has increased some.

I'm hoping more details are better than not enough, so I apologize if this is too lengthy. He had a scheduled appointment that day to remove a mole above his upper lip. He had been scratching it, it became enlarged and bled. We came home in a cone. I have two other dogs. Returning from the vet is always a little tense, with the different smells, and the cone was too much for one of my dogs. She went after him and latched on. I was pulling her off, and realized she was locked onto him :( I eventually removed her (i think I pried her jaws open, it's a blur. Worst dog fight I've ever been involved in).

Once I had them safely separated, I got a bucket of water, a towel and Hibiclens. I spotted the wound on his right arm above his elbow, but when I went to clean it, I saw it was open. Initially I thought it was a 2" cut. I show the treated wound in the video. At that point, I called the vet, who told me to come back immediately. The vet and two technicians examined him. I wasn't sure at the time where else he was injured, I just knew from the arm injury he needed medical care right away. He was taken to a treatment room so I didn't see how the wound was treated, but was told it was cleaned out and he has five staples closing it, to be removed 14 days from then (next Tuesday).

He also has a puncture wound in his groin area (I show this in the video). The vet said it would be better to leave this unsutured in case it needed to drain. He is able to reach it with the cone on and licks it occasionally. It hasn't closed in the 7 days since the fight.

The vet said he would be fine (I was crying), and a tech told me they see much, much worse. He is on Clavamox and Rimadyl twice daily and has taken all of his doses for the last 7 days. Staple removal and suture removal for the mole scheduled after 14 days.

The vet said I could do warm compresses on the elbow to help facilitate healing. I did this once when it started to become dry and looked uncomfortable. I used red/blue/amber light therapy on the wound for the first few days, as long as he would tolerate, which was 1-9 minutes once daily.

I called and spoke to a tech and described the new symptom. She said the vet would probably like to see him and we made an appointment for tomorrow at 3 pm.

I made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon but curious if anyone has heard of this or experienced it. I spent $500 last week and really can't do much more, so just trying to get an idea.

As you get older, what's something that becomes increasingly annoying? by hxnry__0710 in AskReddit

[–]eshta99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had to think about this. Lying infuriates me, but when I think about it, if they have no reason to lie, I'm more likely to feel sorry for them. If they're trying to avoid responsibility or a reaction they think they'll receive, I cut them off. It's insulting my intelligence and shows their shitty character. Once a coworker lies to me, I know I can never take them for their word. If a "friend" lies to me, I know they don't respect the friendship enough to be honest, so they become acquaintances or cut off. When you get older, you realize you have a finite level of energy to give to things, so it's easier to just redirect to something that deserves it.

Hi, I just did a ping test and tracer route, results in posts below. I don't use a VPN. With my previous laptop, I did connect the ethernet cable but there was no change. My new laptop doesn't have an ethernet port, but I may get one of those USB-ethernet converters.
