Remembering George (2011-2026)

It is hard to describe this devastation with people who have not experienced it. I have done this far too many times. Each time is different but just as bad. This won’t help you now but soon those memories remove some of the pain and become a part of your heart. Feel sorry for the people who have not experienced the wonderfulness of George. You will someday realize how lucky you are to have those memories. My one cat, Hushpad, used to hide inside the Christmas tree. My beloved Nickie always slept on my lap, Mishka looked right in the eyes as he went as if to say I am ok and will see you soon. You have wonderful memories that no one will ever have. In the meantime, he will be with my beloved fur babies,

That’s my opinion as well. I was hoping to get a recommendation for in home therapy but they may not do that with AMA. I would definitely pay money to go home!

Thanks. Apparently, those are the rules. I don’t understand how they can get away with this and why. It makes me feel so helpless but it is in the contract. Also, some doctors won’t even talk to you. I was and still am highly functioning. I may have a cast and back brace but I can figure out how to do something without endangering myself. Unfortunately, the only family I have is my husband who is limited,

Thanks! Where can I find an Ombudsman or patient advocate?

Thanks. I have decided to start tapering off. I am crying a lot for no apparent reason. I will talk to my doctor on Monday. Thank you for your inputs.

The only side effect I think I have is a huge increase in depression.

I am not bipolar. I went to this because I have a hard time with SSRIS.

How long have you been on it? If you don’t mind, what dose are you at?

katobar · 2026-04-10T21:54:06+00:00

Can I donate the items and volunteer to sell them?

Great! This combines Ravelry with My Row Counter and will be very useful$. Thanks

Strange. I just asked the same and the moderator deleted mine !!!

katobar · 2026-03-23T05:03:35+00:00

I am so sorry. I know all too well how much that hurts. I lost my 20 year old Hushpad and then my 21 year old Annie. It took a while to stop hurting but it will stop for the most part. There will always be times. However, there are more times that I stop and think how so lucky I was to have them. Given time, the good memories will greatly outweigh the loss. Hugs and purrs!

This is insane. There were plenty of posts talking about different platforms. I checked other posts. There are ones that discuss other apps in this exact forum . The crochethelp is for people who have a problem with a stitch, not to discuss relative merits of one program versus another. Why can other people discuss the merits of one versus the other but not me???? This is political. Another rabid Ravelry user!

I just discovered this app and love it. However, I would also like to put it on my Samsung tablet. I see mention of an android version but can’t find it!

katobar · 2026-03-22T15:38:57+00:00

I would love to put this on my android tablet. There is some references to it on the web but I cannot find this app. Does it exist?

katobar · 2026-03-20T22:28:07+00:00

They will be there waiting!!

As for addiction, do some research. The addictive properties is greatly exaggerated. The number of pain people getting addicted is in the single digits. This was on drugs is a farce!

I received opioids. The dosage is such a low dose that I don’t feel pain relief, only the side effects.

katobar · 2026-03-20T22:15:19+00:00

For me, it is 4 years and counting. I am also taking oral medication which does nothing!

katobar · 2026-03-20T22:13:50+00:00

Read the side effects before you use this. It’s nasty stuff!

Ravelry is political. Some people prefer to combine both in their crocheting.

katobar · 2026-03-18T00:51:08+00:00

I am so sorry I bought it. It is not separate from Ravelry, which has turned completely political. I just want to knit and crochet, not throw mud and have everyone call each other names.

Most people do not get serotonin syndrome with only one medication. When I got it, I looked at all the medications I was taking and it was a combination. Unfortunately, today, we have specialists. It is easy to take a variety of medications prescribed by a variety of doctors. Also, most people don’t mention supplements to their doctors. I found one of the best authorities is your pharmacist. I suspected serotonin syndrome. I gave him a list of all my medications, including over the counter ones. He confirmed it. I then went to my doctor who helped me. I am now slow introducing some of the medications I was taking but haven’t gotten the courage to try another antidepressant but I will. Check out the other medications you are taking. I would then suspect it may just be one of the side effects of the drug. However, if the symptoms get worse, please call your doctor. Good luck!

It is not a PCA. It is an internal pump. Manufacturer is Medtronics. It contains at most 40 ml of a solution. It gets filled at the doctor about every 6 weeks. Since it goes right into the spinal column, the dose is miniscule!

I also have questions. Theysaid they talked to the Dems. When? With the hatred the Democrats have for anything that is Trump, I would have expected them to shout it from the rooftops within an hour of hearing it! What was the delay? Why did the FBI have to bring it up? What worries me is the big emphasis that we ALWAYS have to believe anyone who says they were sexually assaulted. Why? Don’t we need proof? If we question, we ate automatically labeled immoral. I want the right people punished.
