I can't! Don't you know there are animals to save?

Even cymraegrrl doesn't pity me.

Pity me.

Here's a hug: {grog} But it's not out of pity.

attackferret · 07-26-2005, 11:57 PM

I commiserate (although despite my studying my wrist doesn't hurt that badly right now, woo!).

I also offer up ART if it's carpal tunnel that pains you - it's the cheesiest looking therapy ever, but the most effective that I've found (at least post-surgery.. don't know if I could have avoided surgery if I'd found it sooner or not).

That's the spirit!

What happened to your wrist? Is it an injury or old age?

It's 43h sUxx0r that it hurts though.

Injured while helping an animal, no doubt.

I know why that wrist hurts! And it ain't from helpin' no helpless little critter!

Its sprained from repetetive stress. Too much work lately. I'm in charge of a project, which means I do all the work and write all the specs apparently

Yah, I think that's what OldR was tryin' to say, too.

I work at an orphanage for disabled children and they are closing it down next month. Not only will I be out of a job but I don't know what's going to happen to "my" kids. This really sucks.

seitanicvegan · 09-18-2005, 01:42 PM

Rebbie, I am so sorry, for you and for your kids. That is just horrible.

seitanicvegan · 09-18-2005, 01:51 PM

Over two years ago, I adopted three brothers from a rescued litter of rats: Stettin, Austin, and Traveler. I called this trio My Beastie Boys, just because it seemed to fit. Although my three boys looked very much alike, they each had their own personalities.

All three boys eventually developed pituitary tumors, which affect balance and muscle coordination. Because of location, these are treatable, but not curable. First Stettin, then Austin, and finally Traveler.

Rather than write about the affection and playful antics that each of my boys gave to me, I waited until I could write about all three together, just as they came to me. They lived and played and explored together as brothers, from birth to the end of their days.

It amazes me that such small creatures can create such a huge hole in my heart when they go. I will miss my brave, brave Beastie Boys.

Rebbie - Im so sorry, my heart truly feels for your "kids", may your and their transitions go as well as possible in such circumstances.
