ROFL @ azonei's job offer - Go for it!
@ fijjit: OUCH! that sounds horrible ::O Keep us updated and get well soon | |

Nope, no warning....just started with a twinge then.. BANG!
She put urgent on the x ray which I find a tad worrying, but that's probably cos I've never had any knee/hip problems before and it happened rather quickly for no apparent reason. She wants me to take time off of work, but that's not an option at the moment
Thanks for the offer Ruth, but the bus goes straight to the hospital and mr fij is coming with me....should be fun with me dragging my leg behind me and him limping with his broken toe...hehe | |
|
just a question, fij: have you had any trauma to your knee or hip before?
I only ask because I suffered a knee injury about 20 yrs ago, which required therapy at the time, but in just this past week or so has suddenly flared up again... but am picturing the two of you, limping through the hospital.. | |

|
I'm sure you'll make the right decision fella. Good luck

azonei posted: sounds like an adventure to undertake.. and may have come at a good time for you.. change of scenery and all that.  and best of all -> its temporary, so no real commitment on your part, eh?
depends alot on how crazy your parents would drive you!
good luck with that decision, azonei | |

Oh nov..... my ginger tom was like yrs..... He never took to the stray that I adopted, not that the stray was phased by Diesel at all. He still used to eat his catnip and then try and 'share' his too lol.
The only thing I did in that similar situation was to buy a kennel for my stray. I also bought him a mircrowaveable heated pad thing that would go underneath his bed at night and also the kennel had plastic 'doors' to help try and keep the rain out. But Blackie I think was older and somewhat (sadly) streetwise than this kitten who's come into yard. Neither do I think our winters are as severe as yours. I don't envy you at all and it would break my heart. You have 2 options as far as I can see it. 1) is what Gladiator has said 2) rather than go through the suggested/recommended ways of introducing a new cat to an existing one, just see what happens between them. Without knowing all the measures you took last time (of which there are plenty of them) it's hard to know what else to suggest you try....

[My standard post]
Morning all! | |
|
morning, from the comfort of my home office.. :-/
got to the school this morning, greeted by the deputy head, who eyed me with apprehension.. told that I was not needed after all, because my appearance doesn't fit the ethos of the school. who knew that a pinstripe suit, with grey shirt & tie would not 'fit' a school's ethos? or perhaps it was the piercings.. maybe I am too 'cool-looking' to be allowed access to a class of catholic schoolgirls... given the reaction I received from some of them when I stepped out of my car, i'm probably safer at home | |

lol azzie...that cheered me up
Nov- put up some lost signs first of all...you never know. If no-one comes forward after a week or so, put up some new home signs...I'm sure your local vets will help with this...good luck! Just come back from the docs and I've conceded with them and have been signed off for a week. She thinks it's gonna be more like 2-3 weeks I'll be off but to be honest, I'm in too much pain to argue with her. At least I've got some kick ass pain killers (diclofenac and dihydrocodine) so I maybe in pain, but hopefully I'll be too spaced to care. I'm on bed rest so the doc said no heavy lifting OR vacuuming...and mr fij was there with me so it looks like he's gonna be playing housewife for the week....hehe. | |

Shall I bring over a feather duster and an apron for him? ;-)
Seriously tho, I'm real sorry to hear that mate. I know how much you needed to work right now. If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask and if I can, I will. But you know that already I hope.
Bed rest tho?!!! That's a tough one. Maybe using yr sofa-bed downstairs as you don't have to negotiate the stairs for the bathroom that way? Azzie - so what on earth is their dress ethos I wonder? | |
