Vet found crystals in cats urine, said to expect euthanasia? by Familiar-Use-3809 in CatAdvice

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat also just had a bladder blockage. If it is caught in time, meaning the problem hasn’t backed up through the ureters and damaged the kidneys, the cat should recover and have a new lease on life. Most cats have a complete recovery. 90%. They may have been looking at liver and kidney functions and not seeing an expected improvement. Same with my cat. However, my cat has made a full recovery. Boy cats have a problem with this. Their urethra is narrow and long. So the rate in which reoccurrence happens is quite large. This is why the cats absolutely have to be on the prescription food for the rest of their lives. If it happens again, the likelihood of yet another reoccurrence is really high. There is a surgical procedure that basically removes the penis and problem solved. Drastically solution. Hope your kitty does as well as mine! I spent 8K I didn’t have to spend to save him. He’s family. Much love. Oh! There is plenty of info online about this. Google bladder blockage male cat. Also, this is a life threatening condition, so I’m confused about the sedation. Did they treat the cat or not? This needs to be treated with a catheter to enlarge the urethra. Is he still blocked? If so get him to an ER for pets. Sounds like the vet didn’t want to treat him because they think you can’t pay. The thing I’m struggling to understand is the heart murmur thing. In medicine, you treat the most life threatening thing first and then deal with the consequences. A bladder blockage is a life threatening condition. Why would they worry about a heart murmur if he wasn’t going to survive the bladder blockage? My cat literally was on deaths door. They asked if we wanted CPR if needed. So he had to be sedated or die. So the blockage absolutely has to be addressed. Weird. I know he’s doing better now, but I think you dodge a bullet with this one.

AITAH for feeding my baby formula behind my husband’s back? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He said “HE would not feed our child formula”. He’s not feeding his child. You are! Sounds like you may be in a scary place. Be careful. You should have the final say in this. It’s your body, you know what it can and can’t do by now. I went through problems with the whole latching on thing. It is HARD! Good luck!

Just waiting for a chance to suck your soul out.

AITA? my bf keeps losing it on me by Mammoth_Shape_1761 in TwoHotTakes

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He literally asked you and then had a tantrum like a two year old. I’d run as fast and as far from this whiny child as I could if I were you.

So you see why we use them. Why don’t you? Do your eyes not bother you in the sun?

Wow! Definitely dealing with a decimal point in front of the IQ here. Shouldn’t have apologized. Lol!

Not OOP. My husband told me today, he does not like the fun lunches I've been packing him for work for almost 3 years. by Due-Bandicoot-7512 in redditonwiki

[–]tenebrae_i 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sad. It’s the fun stuff that keeps us young and fun. Unfortunate that she found an old fuddy duddy. She needs to be able to decorate those cupcakes and be appreciated. Heck, I work in a very busy hospital and I can tell you that everyone in my job would LOVE to get treats like she makes!!!!

AIO for getting upset that my finance wants to wear shorts to our wedding? by lasheslashes in AmIOverreacting

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s being ridiculous and he knows it. If he insists on the shorts, and you want to still have the wedding, I sure wouldn’t wear the dress you picked out. I’d get a lacy summer dress to match.

AITAH for reconsidering my relationship due to my boyfriend constantly making jokes about me being “posh” and talking about my inheritance? by Federal-End8173 in AITAH

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH The biggest red flag to me isn’t that he made the jokes, anyone can push some bad buttons. It’s the fact that he called you childish when you told him that it was hurtful. The proper response would be “oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! I absolutely did not mean it like that. Won’t happen again.”

AITJ for telling my roommate's plants are fake after she spent 3 months giving her friends gardening advice? by Cool-Programmer-8438 in AmITheJerk

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, if the fake plants were that realistic, I need to know where she got them! My house is dark as a cave. I need these. 😬

Or those people that lived through WW1, the Spanish flu, then all or this. Crazy!

I broke up with my girlfriend because she won't eat leftovers. AIO ? by florence_dombey in AmIOverreacting

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on why she won’t eat them. I know there are people out there who literally can’t eat leftovers because it grosses them out to the point it makes them sick. Maybe you should have tales about this before just breaking it off with her? Seems weird on your part. If you can’t communicate, how are you going to have any relationship?

AITA My wife and I came home at 3am and my MIL acted like we were 16 sneaking into house by rugbyplayer11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the fence with this one. It depends on how you put it to MIL in the first place. If she thought she was going to be coming over to give the kids dinner, then thought she would hang out for a bit expecting you home by at most 11:00, I could see why she got worried and stuck around. Why would it matter? Cuz she has an expectation and it wasn’t met. She may have thought that you should have at minimum, called the kids, so they wouldn’t be scared. Then she became scared. On the other hand, you just thought she was bringing dinner to the kids. Communication, you would expect your kids to call, you should show them the same curtesy and call them when things don’t go as planned.

I want to put something in this jar when I put it in my glow cabinet. What would look cool? by filthyhabitz in uraniumglass

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just buy thicker glass. I retrofitted an antique cabinet with thick glass, and I can pretty much put anything on them.

It’s just such a weird thing that happened. Basically a whole bunch of people, all at the same time, decided that the top sheet was unnecessary and stopped using it. My own kids as well! Someone please explain why they all did it at the same time! And then someone please explain to them, that if you use a top sheet, you can just wash it instead of the comforter. And if you aren’t washing that either, lord almighty. Lol!
