This has not been one of my better days. The paracentesis went poorly. They only got five and a quarter liters out of me, and the anesthetic block wore off before they were done. Dr. Liver tried to reposition the needle to get a better flow going, but it didn’t work and he had to…
What it is
My relationship with my computer ain’t what it used to be. Working again (albeit part-time) has been stressful and draining, more so than I anticipated. For some strange reason I thought that getting the CPhT certification was going to prepare me for this position more than it did. My new employer needs an e-name. Let’s…
Decisions, decisions ….
Yet another paracentesis today. We got 5.5 liters, and could probably have gotten at least two liters more, but today’s block didn’t take well. (A “block” is what they call injections of a pain-blocker to an area to anesthetize it.) I started feeling pain about three liters into the draining, and there was no way…
Disappointment
Today’s plan was to pick up Clueless after work, and bring him and his new three-week course of antibiotics home for a well-deserved rest. These plans fell apart this morning when CW once again tossed his cookies. At this point, we’re running out of non-invasive options. And I’m not sure what to do next. The…
Deer Diary
CatControlled’s entry today reminded me of something that happened to me twenty-odd years ago. It was mid-day Saturday. I was home, doing some cleaning, which back in those days meant that I not only knew where the vacuum cleaner was, but I knew how to find the on-switch. I had just turned the vacuum off,…
I’ve sat here trying to think of a good comment, but what really comes to mind is "ouch." I feel the pain in your entry. I think this is a rollercoaster that we (those who keep online diaries) all ride. We put our words, feelings and hearts out there for everyone to see and sometimes we feel more vulnerable and exposed.

I dont know what to say…
Firstly, let me say I am at present reading your diary backward, so this comment is being made AFTER the ones on the more recent entry.
I echo the "ouch" above 🙁 I too hear you.
Not sure what this is all about, none of my business…except to say I care. Believe it or not.
You are a Latin scholar and will recognize this as bastardized Latin ;), but here goes: Illigitimi non carborundant.
Like the Elf, I too have read my way back to this point. I am also very sorry for whatever some jerk left in a private comment. L-ord knows, I’ve been there! I know how it sours the taste for online journaling, I’m dealing with a case of the Diarist’s Disease just now myself. I’m hoping to get over it, too. I’m glad I finally decided to pop in and leave a comment to see if you were alright. Yeah, I’m slow. Sue me. Oops, there’s that attitude showing again.
Hugs,
