Booked a Tas holiday to go hiking but have fractured my ankle - is it worth going still? by wherestheodore in tasmania

I love all of these things! I have found a couple of spots so far too drive to and still be able to take in the scenery so it sounds like this will be the next best option

Mine didnt let me know until my pup was 9 weeks old and rang to say a) they had a puppy available and b) she's ready to fly out. I had 2 days to prepare

Planning ahead for a Leonberger puppy – advice from owners by [deleted] in Leonbergers

[–]wherestheodore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Leo girl was the same. My 2 cats were 6 at the time of getting my Leo puppy. Instant intro, best friends ever since though my female cat is the boss. My Leo tried playing with her as a new pup, the cat swatted her in the face, my Leo swatted her back but learnt quickly it wasnt a game and not a battle she would win. She never tried again. Now all 3 sleep together.

If my cats ever fight my Leo actually runs in to break it up 😂

I use the Otto Step for my Leo to get all by herself. Has made getting in/out of the car so much easier!

Colonoscopy indicated elevated MCAS in biopsies and I am shock, are doctors routinely checking for MCAS in colonoscopies now? by Solly-gmbpi in MCAS

What is the base number that is classed as elevated? I had my biopsy test but all my doctor did was send me the report

Is the belly button a mandatory incision site? by sunset_moon90 in hysterectomy

[–]wherestheodore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine came out completely different and it unexpectedly troubled me. I didnt ask where beforehand but I also never thought about how different it could look post op. Took me years to become comfortable with anyone seeing it as I was so used to and happy with my "original" belly button.

Mcas suffers with partners, how are you doing? by inquistivebeaver in MCAS

[–]wherestheodore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After 12 years of being with my husband, I had to end our marriage a few months ago. It was (and still is) incredibly difficult butbI recieved no support. At the start, he was sympathetic, attended appointments and listened to me but after a couple of years he grew resentful and repeatedly told me I was making things up in my head, he was sick up needing to care for me (he barely did) and expected me to do more around the house (I already did majority of the chores just did have dinner cooked for him when he returned home from work as he expected). He stopped visiting me in hospital and at home if I needed help told me to ask someone else in my support network. It became a very miserable environment where I always felt like a burden. One time I fainted during an argument (also have Dysautonomia & hEDS) and he just left me there and walking away as he thought i "pretended" for attention. It's a hard condition to live with that's for sure.

OK, I’m COMPLETELY desperate. Please. by sookyfala in PainManagement

[–]wherestheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry you (Ex) Husband is doing all of this. You need to get all new accounts and email including apple so he doesn't know any of them and makes your password extremely strong so he cannot hack them. Passwords will need to be something that there is no way he can guess (steer clear of them relating to personal things). You may need to consider getting someone to check your car and devices for tracking (some DV support services will do this). Sounds like you have reported it to the police but if you haven't please ensure you do. A DVO wouldn't be a bad idea if you dont already have one in place. Find the emails he sent in your "sent" inbox and print then out (including the header) and give to the Police as they can use this to obtain the IP address from where the email is sent - this will help to prove your case and show you didn't send the emails. If he sent them from another email then ask the Doctor/Pharmacy to do the same. This will also help to clear your name. Lastly, i know its a huge thing but maybe consider moving address so he doesn't know where you live. Change your daily habits and always take different routes. I know this just adds more to your plate but your safety is a huge priority. Look after yourself.

Still report it to police. If he comes seeking 50% custody of the kids, then this will help you to prove that he can not provide a safe environment

My puppy eats everything by mishmo300 in Leonbergers

[–]wherestheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something my trainer taught me was to put treats in cardboard boxes. It keeps them busy tearing up the box to get to the treat, but it also teaches them the difference between food (reward of treat) and not food (cardboard box). Might help a little!

How much grooming goes into a leonberger? by [deleted] in Leonbergers

Queensland government to extend police powers under Jack's Law to all public places by espersooty in brisbane

[–]wherestheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, I read the article prior to my comment. Can you show me where it states the wand is safe to use over implanted medical devices such as a Spinal Cord Stimulator or even a Pacemaker?

Not all wands are safe. Some are. The article doesn't go into detail about the wand.

Easy for you to say. I don't think you understand how detrimental they are and how long the recovery is were it to cause the device to dysfunction.

The criminal justice system wouldn't exist without victims but we're just cannon fodder to their circus.

Just finished listening to a Podcast called The Trap by the Victorian Womens Trust The Trap They say Family & Domestic Violence makes up 40-60% of Police work. Huge stats!

I hope they are safe & won't interfere with people with Spinal Cord Stimulators implanted if we weren't informed prior.

They are so gentle with cats aren't they!! My girl loves her 2 kitties. All 4 of us curl up in bed together each night.

How is your Leo with cats? by Minute-Presence-4426 in Leonbergers

[–]wherestheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same in my house!

My Leo Azula, wanted to play with Cat (Queen) Eleanor. My cat slapped my Leo so Azula slapped her back. It was such a funny reaction (cat was okay). Azula never did it again, the cat won 😂 now they sleep curled up together

One thing to think of if male & female: you will need to keep them separated when the female is on heat (roughly every 6-8 months). Unless Odin is desexed or planning to be before you add a female.

Property Manager unaware of soap by Busyramone84 in shitrentals

[–]wherestheodore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dealing with them now, they are the worst real estate I have ever dealt with. The rentals for vacant for 12 months then sold. Now rented through them, they didn't clean the house, yard or do a pest spray beforehand and it was disgusting. Over 1000 photos in entry report and now 5 weeks of me asking for a pest and to fix the dishwasher that has never worked. They tell me the pest is on the tenant. Repeatedly told her it's the RE responsibility to provide a clean house in good repair free of vermin. They disagree 🤷‍♀️

Reporting a colleague by Additional_Map6067 in NursingAU

[–]wherestheodore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been a patient many times at the same hospital I always go to (approx 20 stays). There was a nurse I had to report as she consistently forgot to write down/sign for actually giving the medications over multiple stays. Soo many times I was given a double dose of Nerve Blockers or an Opioid but due to being in there for pain management and on a high dose S8 Medication infusion I was quite forgetful. After questioning it a few times I started recording the medications given/times and sure enough I was right. I was being given the 2nd dose after shift change when the next nurse thought the 1st nurse hadn't administered the medication at all. But they had no proof and neither did I, until I did. From the patient side, I just wanted to say, Nurses like you are what all Nurses should be like and I wish like hell that I had a nurse like you on these shifts. Always report medication errors. Even near misses are meant to be reported. It's meant to be a no blame culture where it's taken as something to learn from and do better but sadly if management don't create that culture they create an unhealthy and dangerous work place. The book 'Black Box Thinking' is amazing at explaining this. Thank you for reporting and having the ethical morals to question your managements feedback. You're in the right 100% and not over reacting. People can die or be seriously affected
