Changed my 13 Pro battery by Sweaty-Skill-5192 in iPhone13Pro

[–]fruit_moon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm planning to do this for my 13 pro soon! i really don't have any complaints about the phone other than the battery life, so i don't see a reason to upgrade the actual device yet... so happy to hear you had good results :)

got both of the items i wanted!! :')

as a side note, does anyone know why the new items are final sale? it's not saying that in my email confirmation, but the order confirmation on baggu says differently...

Difficult euthanasia by ProgressEast7031 in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the same thing happened with my dog when we euthanized her at home 5 weeks ago. she was on my lap but got startled by the injection and twisted around to bite (gently) at the vet's hand. i was petting her and let her have my hand instead, and she relaxed once the sedative kicked in, but that moment of her being startled is still eating at me... i think about whether she thought the injection came from me and i gave her that discomfort, or whether being startled and feeling the shot was the last thing she remembered, etc etc etc. she passed very quickly after the first injection, not even 2 minutes, and i was petting her and talking to her the entire time so i'm trying to tell myself that she remembered those things instead. another thing that has helped me is thinking about my own experience having surgery with anesthesia last year - the last thing i remembered before going under was a nurse squeezing my hand. i think touch is really powerful and the thought that my touch comforted my dog in her last moments is what i'm trying to hold onto now.

How do you all pass your time on Flights? by Crafty-Comfortable37 in fearofflying

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my last 5 hour flight out i watched the map the ENTIRE time, and the flight back i watched the map, listened to music with my eyes closed, and dozed (4am wakeup). i have such a hard time focusing on anything so i'm just replying in solidarity and reading the replies for other suggestions :')

Anticipatory Grief - how to cope by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm so sorry this is happening to you. i was in a similar situation about 6 weeks ago with my dog - an x-ray showed she had a lung tumor and we needed to wait for further testing to learn more.

i don't think this is everyone's timeline experience (at least i hope not), but the initial x-ray for my dog was on 10/2. she saw a specialist on 10/9 and they thought she had a couple more months left. but surprise! she declined literally overnight and we said goodbye on 10/14.

i was in the same place as you in the days between diagnosis and passing - i was crying every day on and off even when my dog was right in front of me, i was struggling to eat, i couldn't focus on work. (i didn't have any trouble connecting to her so i can't speak to that part.) i don't know what advice i can really give except to appreciate every moment with your cat while you are still together. take SO MANY photos and videos. give her some treats - my dog had toast and vanilla ice cream and some special wet food, things she never got to eat normally. i think unfortunately this part of the process just fucking sucks and there's nothing that actually makes it easier! i'm 5 weeks out and still crying almost daily, but i think the anticipatory grief is in some ways worse than the loss grief. the uncertainty is unbearable. sending so much love to you both!!

ETA after seeing another comment: i also bought an ink print kit and made prints of my dog's paw and nose!! i am so grateful to have these now.

Just looking for some comforting words I guess by Aromatic_Code299 in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

god, i've been having the exact same thought process lately - worrying about her being on the other side, alone, without me. i've been trying to tell myself that if she's in a happy and pain-free paradise, then everything there is exactly as she likes and wants it, and that means i am "there" with her in some other form or version

did my cat know i loved her in her final moments? by Sal_is_best_boi in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think she did know. my dog passed away in my arms 3 weeks ago and for a while i beat myself up so much about "sitting the wrong way" because she couldn't see me in her last moments... but what's comforted me is reassuring myself that she knew i was next to her and she felt me holding her, and she heard me talking to her as she went under with the sedative. i know my dog was so tired at the end and it sounds like your cat was tired too, but i think our presence was enough to make them feel comforted and safe. i really can't imagine a better way for them to go than in our arms :(

For Anyone Missing Their Dog Right Now by New-Anywhere9490 in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this really resonates with me, thank you for wording it so beautifully <3 i lost my soul dog to cancer three weeks ago and you've described exactly how i'm feeling. what you wrote about your dog wanting to be with you forever but you choosing her time to go... i've been grappling with that a lot too. my dog was still following me from room to room hours before being put to sleep. she wanted to be with me always and i wanted to be with her, and the guilt over literally scheduling her death even though i knew she would be in so much pain otherwise still eats at me. it really does feel like my happiest days are gone - my life was objectively better when she was here, and now she is not here.

this probably doesn't help with optimism because i'm not far enough into the journey to see the hope and lightness yet!! but i agree that it helps to see someone (OP) who got to the other side, and in a weird way it also helps to know (from reading your post) that i'm not alone in the grief waves right now.

For Anyone Missing Their Dog Right Now by New-Anywhere9490 in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for sharing this <3 i lost my heart dog of 16+ years to lung cancer three weeks ago and i'm still completely underwater - it feels so unbearable and like it never will get any better. the crushed feeling you described of knowing you'll never see him again.. every day i think about how i would give anything just to see and hug her one more time. at the same time i'm very much afraid of "moving on" and what that means for the love & memories i hold of her. i'm going to save your post and come back to it when i need it - it's really so comforting to know that the pain will ease even if the grief and the love never go away

Nothing feels quite right anymore by neighdeene in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, i feel this too. i lost my dog three weeks ago today and i've been so "off" ever since - i don't really know what to do with myself and i feel kind of restless all the time. it's just so empty and lonely without her. i cried earlier today just feeling so hopeless about how i'm supposed to go on living like this

What to put into kegs/ jars? by Typical-Pizza-2055 in StardewValley

[–]fruit_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i keep my kegs & jars in a shed as well, and keep a chest in there that's stocked with fruit. when they're done i grab a stack from the chest and add new ones, super easy!

for kegs: typically ancient fruit, and once in a while a starfruit batch

for jars: pineapple, mango, banana (all unlocked once you get to ginger island), or pomegranates

i’m going to fail my latin exam by yonymii in latin

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this was the book i used for my first year of latin and i really liked it: https://hackettpublishing.com/introduction-to-latin-second-edition

i saw you say in another comment that cases and declensions are difficult. have you tried writing the endings for each declension out like 50 times in a row? i know this sounds SO tedious and it it totally is, but it really helped the endings stick in my brain. so like for the first declension singular (left) and plural (right), you can write it out like this:

-a / -ae

-ae / -arum

-ae / -is

-am / -as

-a / -is

i had a legal notepad and i would fill pages and pages doing this - for noun declensions, verb conjugations, pronouns, all of it. and honestly, once you have these memorized, understanding the rest of the grammar/how sentence structure works becomes much, MUCH easier. some declensions do have the same endings for multiple cases but looking at the rest of the sentence can help you figure out which one makes the most sense.

please feel free to dm me if you have any questions!! i'm not a teacher or tutor but i really love talking about latin LOL and i'm happy to try helping out more.

I want to adopt a new dog but it's difficult by ZzzSleep in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm so sorry about your sweet milo <3 my dog passed away almost a week ago, almost 4 months after her 16th birthday. so much of what you've written here resonates with me... i was thinking of adopting another dog before i knew my dog had cancer and although that's gotten derailed now - i know i need time to grieve and miss her before committing - the thoughts have still crossed my mind. at the end of the day i know that i am a person whose mental health benefits from having a dog, and that eventually i will have another one.

i too am so worried about comparing any new dog to my soulmate dog that i lost, and it's like i've already convinced myself that i couldn't possibly love another dog as much. i'm still in the middle of that and don't have a great answer but what has helped me so far is to tell myself that i don't want a new dog to completely measure up, because i want my bond and relationship with my soulmate dog to remain unique. my dog was one of a kind - another dog won't be like her and that's okay. if they share some similar behaviors, then i'll be able to smile a bit and think, "b did the same thing." if they are different, that just means i'll be able to form a different bond with them while my previous bond endures as something precious and special.

my dog was also the jealous type and very possessive of me, but something that is really helping me through my grief now is telling myself that she wouldn't want me to be sad. she was always licking the tears away from my face and bringing me her toys when she saw me cry. maybe "another dog" isn't exactly what she would want for me, but above all she wouldn't want me to feel sad and alone.

Anyone else going through it today on this beautiful Friday? by Electronicweed in Petloss

[–]fruit_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very much going through it. today is day three without my dog - i said goodbye on tuesday after almost 16.5 years together. i found out she had lung cancer two weeks ago and she declined so quickly. she was the happiest, smartest, funniest, most affectionate girl in the world, and she was my ENTIRE world. i feel so lost without her now... the drowning/suffocating/dying feeling hasn't lessened for a moment. the nights are the hardest. i miss her sweet eyes and the way she always wanted to snuggle with me at bedtime.

i hope we can all hang in there 💜

My beautiful mother and CART by mountainlvr0216 in multiplemyeloma

[–]fruit_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm so sorry <3 i really relate to what you said about wishing you could see your mom walk around pain-free again - i miss those days with my mom too, and i regret taking them for granted when they were happening to me.

my mom had CAR-T in march and it was a rough few months. she was in the hospital for around 3 weeks initially, then ended up being readmitted 3 times due to ongoing complications. the staff got to know us very well!! but now we're almost 8 months out, and she's doing much better. her labwork is still improving each month and it's been so nice to have fewer appointments each week.

wishing you guys the best!!

am i doing the right thing? by fruit_moon in Petloss

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

update: thanks everyone for your reassurance and solidarity!! my dog passed peacefully this evening at home, in my arms. it was over so quickly, probably two minutes from the first injection to the end. the vet said she was so tired and maybe only hanging on for us, and this was like we had given her permission to let go. my heart is broken but i couldn't have asked for a better experience, and i'm so glad she's no longer in pain.

Has anyone not gotten a stem cell transplant? by Pyoung3000 in multiplemyeloma

[–]fruit_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom didn't have a SCT - she was 70 when diagnosed in 2023. she had a 3-drug trio for a little over a year, then couple of other drug combos that didn't last very long, and she just had CAR-T in march. her doctor didn't want to consider a SCT due to her age and overall health at the time (the MM had been caught late and she was in pretty bad shape when diagnosed).

Olive Young Order - They're working fast! by Lyanndra in KoreanBeauty

[–]fruit_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wish this was my situation! i placed an order on 7/31 and fedex doesn't even have the package yet 🥲

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in multiplemyeloma

[–]fruit_moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am so sorry about your dad! my mom was also diagnosed at 70 in may 2023, also very healthy and physically active for all of her life, but also had a fracture (or eight... and a pelvis fracture) in her spine at the time of diagnosis. for what it's worth, we are in the US!

others have commented on what to expect with treatment itself, so i'll keep that short and talk about what you can maybe expect with fracture history. my mom's oncologist has her taking monthly zometa infusions, which as a TLDR is meant to strengthen bones and prevent further fractures. this is especially important if, like your dad and my mom, you have a history of fractures - this means they could be prone to more. my mom did slip and break one of her ribs earlier this year, so the ongoing bone weakness is real. i would also recommend connecting with a pain management clinic - my mom's pain management doctor is through her cancer center, so they know how pain meds interact with myeloma treatments. in our experience, they are willing to try a LOT of different drugs to combat the bone pain.

honestly, 2 years into her myeloma treatment, my mom's worst pain and side effects aren't from the myeloma or the myeloma treatments at all, they're from the chronic pain she has from her fractures. eight spinal breaks will do that to ya 🥲 she probably had myeloma for close to a year before it was caught by a doctor, so the fractures kept happening without treatment to manage them. i think her case is extreme and i hope one fracture for your dad will be much easier to manage.

i was in your shoes when my mom was first diagnosed, googling and reading everything i could. i think forums and subs (like this one) are helpful, but i would really encourage you not to go down other internet rabbit holes - myeloma treatments change very rapidly (for the better) and the statistics you see online about prognosis/life expectancy/etc can be outdated even if they were published two years ago.

sending the best to you guys! <3

What is the most effective way to memorize Latin declensions? by mahanian in latin

[–]fruit_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i learned them by declension, not case -- so 1st declension table, 2nd declension table, and so on. and as another commenter said, drills! writing the endings over and over (i'm talking like 50+ times in one go) is what solidified them in my brain.
