So, new update. I just spoke to vetinary nurse Rhiannon, and Misty is out of surgery and awake. They're coaxing him to nibble some food and things are looking reasonably good. He's staying there another night so they can keep a close eye on him, just to be on the safe side, but I'm to phone at 9am tomorrow and hopefully he'll be well enough to come home then. I'll let you know when he's home.
Thank you to everyone for your hugs, good wishes, thoughts and prayers, you've helped me get through two very stressful, worrying days. I'm blessed to have so many great, animal-loving friends, you're the best!

Date: 2012-08-08 09:31 am (UTC)We live about 4 miles outside Nottingham, which is our nearest city. There's no countrycide between us and the city do I guess it's fair to say we're part of Nottingham's suburban sprawl. We're near enough bang in the middle of England, which is okay I guess, but it's always meant to me thst the coast is a long way away no matter which direction you go.
I've never been a fan of romance on its own - its fine if it's an element in a bigger story, but I guess
I've never been the 'date movie' kind of person. The films I remember going to see on dates were 'Airplane', one of the Pink Panther films with Peter Sellers, 'Silver Dream Racer' (motor cycle racing movie with David Essex), and 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'. None of them can be classed as romantic, lol! I've always been a sci-fi/action movie fan, I'm not really very girly, I played with cars when I was little and hated dolls. I still read sci-fi, fantasy and horror novels, and prefer those genres in film and TV. I love things like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon too. And martial arts movies. hat's just the way 've always been. I loved Torchwood becauise it was sci-fi, the Jack/Ianto romance was a bonus and I liked it because they never made a huge deal of it, it wasn't the focus of everything but it was good to see how it developed in the background to the main stories.
I did like Suzie, better than Gwen - she was an interesting character. nd anyway, it was Gwen's idiocy that got her nearly drained of life. Suzie was a known serial killer who already nearly killed Gwen once, but Gwen went off her her alone on a road trip. Stupid, brainless woman deserved what she got, she's the one who insisted on using the glove in the first place, over her boss's objections. nd yeah, osh shot the glove, I think Ianto threw her the gun.

Date: 2012-08-15 05:23 am (UTC)I loved Airplane the movie! So much fun. The movie industry went through a time where they were making a lot of spoof movies. I saw a lot of them, mostly saw them on cable TV when we got it when I was around 12 years. I did see some at the theater. One I loved had Val Kilmer in it. It was called "Top Secret." It was hysterical! I know I saw it with my best friend at the time, Norma, at a dollar theater. Can you believe there ever was a time when we could see a movie for one dollar?! I'm not sure how much that is in pounds, but I can tell you it is cheap, can't buy much of anything for that anymore.
Oh my! I have "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" on a VHS tape. That was a really good and to me scary movie. Nurse Rachet, no one will ever forget her! She was horrible! lol! Of course Jack Nickelson was incredible, he is one of my favorite actors still. I've seen some of those crazy "Pink Panther" movies when I was younger. I could never get into the Die Hard movies, my brother loved those. lol!...but I did really get into a lot of movies Bruce Willis did after those. He is not the most handsome guy in the world, but there is something about him I really like. Have you ever seen "Shattered"? You must see it. It is in a way a superhero movie without the cool costumes. He was also in the one with a little boy, you know where the kid said "I see dead people." lol! I loved that movie, it was either up for an Oscar or won it, I can't remember. I did really get into the Leathal Weapon movies. I watched all of them, but then again what "breathing" heterosexual female didn't love Mel Gibson! I have seen most of his movies. Some I have on tape and DVD. Not into martial arts, but I did love the stuff they did in "The Matrix" movies. So cool!
Oh this is so cool! You maybe a little like my girlfriend, Norma, I mentioned. We practically grew up together. We met when I was in first grade and she was in kindergarten and we lived on the same street. I lived a few houses up the hill from her. We went to the same schools and hung out together as teenagers. She still lives in town. When I got married we lost touch except for a short talk on "Facebook" back last year I think. We should get together, but with my pain problem, I just don't know. I always was the weird, screwed-up one. She always liked me though. She was the tomboy, not girly at all. She loved to play sports and talk to the boys more than the girls, but as friends. She didn't date much. Poor thing had a weight problem so dumbass, immture boys that they were, never asked her out, but loved having her as someone to talk to usually about "their" girlfriends. Nothing fair about that. Norma has a pretty face, hair, and a very good heart. She has the best sense of humor, she kept me laughing all the time. She's very smart too, she made A's mostly in highschool and loved to read all the time. I hope she finally found someone who loves her. I was the girly one, wearing pink clothes all the times, into doing my hair and make-up a lot...though we got together every now and then and would paint our fingernails and give ourselves facials. So she did care about some of the girly grooming stuff. lol!
Continuing huge long post on the next one:.....I will just reply to your same post again. (THEY CUT ME AGAIN!) LOL!

Date: 2012-08-15 09:55 am (UTC)Oh, I know, Mel Gibson is gorgeous! I've adored Bruce Willis since he was in the Moonlighting series with Cybill Shepherd - I loved that series. I've got season 1 on DVD now, still got to get the rest. It still makes me laugh!
Also love Jack Nicholson - One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is the only film I've been to see twice at the cinema - once with my then boyfriend Alan, just before my 18th birthday, and once with my friend Julie, just after we both turned 18. I have it on DVD, it's a brilliant movie but heartbreaking and scary too.
I've never seen Shattered I don't think, unless it goes under a different title here. Actually, it might do if it's by the guy who wrote The Sixth ense, but I can't remember the title, which is silly... Oh, I think it's called Unbreakable, if that's the same one then it's totally brilliant!

Date: 2012-08-22 04:09 am (UTC)That is hysterical! You won! You're very creative. lol! Yes I love that Mel Gibson movie about the crop circles. I have that on DVD too, too lazy to get up and look for it. I just remember at the end with one of them holding a bat while this alien was holding the young boy with some kind of gas to kill him with, and the other saying "Swing away!" lol! Oh that was the coolest movie! I love all three of those. I rarely ever win anything either so I know how you feel. :D
I read on LJ that "The Avengers" are suppose to be coming out in the states in Sept., not sure if I read when in the UK. on bluray DVD. I can't wait! There is going to be an extended version which I definitely want! I am dying to finally get to watch it at home with my family. I really hated the seats we got at the theater. Sadly I still haven't uploaded an avenger icon. I need to do that.

Date: 2012-08-24 02:42 am (UTC)Michael and Alex are asleep. It is 10:30 p.m. here and I feel alone and depressed. I slept in too late today though I feel tired all the time these days. I may see if I can sleep, but it just seeems too early for me. How am I ever going to survive without meds for my Bipolar disorder?...I know one night I just cried and I'm not even sure it was from the physical pain, I think it was my moods. Of course I was on my period too. Just too much crap to deal with and it overwhelmed me I guess.
I wish I wrote happier stuff more! lol! Something has got to change. I have to call the VA. where I have my insurance. I found these people that do V acupunture in town, but they don't file insurance and it cost $130.00 for the first visit, paid in full! If I do that we will have little money left for the month to eat on and whatever else. Even if my insurance would pay for some of it, I would have to wait for reimbursement and I have no idea how long that will take. + Each additional visit is $80.00 in full. It is because it is not a standard Western medicine is what Michael thinks. I'm sure a lot of insurance companies won't pay for it. :(
I was so depressed I went back to sleep, then with Alex and his homework + dinner, I forgot to call them. I will tomorrow and let you know what happened. I have a bad feeling about it though.
My body is rebelling against most medications. I just don't know what I am suppose to do and we have so much debt, I can't afford medical treatment that is not paid for by my insurance company.
Shutting up now..... 0_O
Re: The Avengers
Date: 2012-08-24 09:51 am (UTC)I'm really excited about the Avengers I've tried to avoid too many spoilers, so I have no idea about the plot or anything, I just know I really want to see it! I want to see the Captain America film too, don't know if that's out on DVD yet. I really must check. I didn't have time last time I was at the shops.
*hugs tight* Love, J xxxx
Re: The Avengers
Date: 2012-08-25 05:01 am (UTC)I called my insurance company and as I guested, they don't cover acupunture. I called the doctors back today and somehow one of the acupuncturist picked up the phone, his name is Bret. Anyway, I told him what happened and I couldn't afford to pay and needed him to cancel next Tuesday's appointment. He stopped me and said that if I would like to come in anyway, he would talk to me and give me the treatments, I think free, he said as part of a research project. I was shocked, happy, and a little worried, (I hope this guy knows what he is doing, how to treat this and all.) He said they have treated women with my problem before so I'm sort of confused. Maybe he is just being nice saying it is for his research. Michael said he is probably trying to help, but also figures he will get paid some money from me especially if this works. This is a well known place so I don't think he's a quack. I wanted to cry. I am praying that God is answering a prayer and that this guy really does care and I won't go bankrupt trying to get some pain relief. Maybe he is trying to further his career too. I don't know. He sounded really nice though. He said at first that he would talk to me over the phone first, but we ended up talking today, I wouldn't shut-up.....imagine that....... *evil grin*
So I see him Tues. afternoon. Finally I "will" be getting stuck, I hope, lol! with needles. It takes at least 2 sessions I read for it to work. Bret said he would see me once a week for 4 weeks. Four treatments and then a month break and we will see what happens. Wow! I hate getting my hopes up too high, they have been crashed so many times, but I need some kind of hope to hold onto.
love ya!
Deb. :)

Re: The Avengers
Date: 2012-08-25 10:01 am (UTC)I adore the first Iron Man movie - haven't seen the second yet. i really need to get both on DVD, as well as Captain America, The Avengers and Thor! How could I have forgotten about Thor? I guess because like the others, I haven't seen it yet. Really need to get lots of DVDs! Then I need to find time to watch them, lol!
*hugs tight* Good luck at your appointment! Love ya, J xxxx
Re: The Avengers
Date: 2012-08-26 06:00 am (UTC)Yes the Ironman movies are so good. I know I watched them both and I have heard they are making a third one. I don't know when it will be out though. I hope you get them all on DVD. soon. They are so much fun! :)
I love Thor because in the movie about him and his father and brother Loki, "Loki" is very important in "The Avengers," you get to watch how Thor grows and changes. I won't give anything away. He also just happens to be gorgeous and loyal, and also at times very funny in The Avengers. The Hulk is great too, if I didn't mention him before. Really fantastic!
Re: The Avengers
Date: 2012-08-26 09:23 am (UTC)Acupuncture still isn't seen as legitimate treatment by some people, so maybe your treatment will go towards showing that it DOES work. It really needs to be widely available and also to br available through all medical insurers if you know what I mean, so everyone can afford to be treated if it's what they need.

Date: 2012-08-15 05:25 am (UTC)I became anorexic at age 15/16 years old and I know she was jealous of me, but I didn't really want that and I certainally did not want her to feel bad about her weight. When she was in pain, she used food to medicate herself whereas I avoided extra calories at all cost to deal with my pain. I remember feeling so weak walking up steps. People think you are being vain, but that is not true, in fact I hated myself more then than ever before. No matter how much weight I lost, in my mind, I was still huge and didn't understand why Norma thought that she was overweight though I know she was now. Hard to explain, I liked my bones showing because I got attention "finally" someone knew I was alive, but I also knew I looked grotesque. (I was very sweet and "very" shy.) I only got down to about 92 pounds, but I read after I recovered, of girls in the 80's, 70's and lower. I actually thought at one point, I must not have really had the illness since I couldn't even make it down to 85 pounds. I'm 5 foot 3 and a-half so I thought I could have lost some more. I was really sick. My clothes just hung off me and more than once I had to buy new clothes in smaller sizes. I can't believe I had a pair of 3/4 stretch blue jeans at my lowest weight, but of course I was "still" fat! lol! Why did I get off on all that. Sorry. Not sure I have ever told you any of that before.
Getting off that, I knew it was either Tosh or Ianto that shot the glove! I'm glad Ianto helped at least. lol! Yeah, Gwen's an idoit that is for sure. I guess I need to watch that show again. I forgot that it was Gwen's idea to take Suzie and leave.

Date: 2012-08-16 04:06 am (UTC)I think your type of anorexia is different from my kind, but I am glad you got better. I was not sick from food, I was just terriified of being fat which in my mind was weighing more than about 6 and 1/2 stone. I felt I "had" to stay below a 100 pounds which is a little more than 7 stone.
Yes, it was a hard road to walk, but I finally was able to let myself eat again, healthy as much as I could and exercise while keeping my weight in the right range for my height. :) I was so scared watching the numbers go higher on my scale everyday. I didn't understand that I was not healthly at those low weights, but I did realize finally that if I kept on lossing weight, there would be no way back and I would probably die like a lot of girls with anorexia at the time.

Date: 2012-08-18 07:20 am (UTC)Yeah since my latest problem I have lost a total of 12 pounds, that was over a 6 month period. Stopping all those medications which tend to make me hold onto weight + the horrible stress and worrying from everything has caused me to lose, in fact lately I feel hungry a lot, but just don't want food all that much. I went to sleep hungry last night. I just didn't care. I think I eat more when I am happier though I must say chocolate is still my friend when I feel bad. lol!...probably why I haven't lost even more weight. I was 136 pounds one day, but it came back. :OP
I'm so tired and better try to sleep. I hope I can; I am afraid to take a pain pill tonight because of the swelling and the welts I had yesterday morning. It's 3:03 in the morning here, but I slept into the afternoon yesterday so I knew I wouldn't sleep early tonight.
love,
Blabbering Deb.

Date: 2012-08-18 09:52 am (UTC)I'm so proud of you the way youi puleed yourself back and got eating again! You have a lot to be proud of, it proves what a strong woman you are. That's why I know you'll beat these latest problems. i believe in you! *hugs tight* Love you loads! J xxx
no subject
Date: 2012-08-19 06:33 am (UTC)Well, I know I got through the eating disorder, but I have never had to deal with anything this painful in my life and I don't feel I am handling things too well. I am always losing my temper and patience with my son and sometimes he cries. I feel so bad and tell him I'm sorry, Mommy feels bad...but that is no excuse for me snapping at him.
I hope you feel better. You're strong too. You've lived with so much physical pain since you were very young if I remember correctly. I admire how you have hung in there. :)
{{hugs you back tight}}
love,

Date: 2012-08-19 09:50 am (UTC)I had fun yesterday, despite feeling a bit crap, sorting through my crystals, trying to find some that might help (there are more different kinds than you can imagine!) I was sitting on the floor in my room, surrounded by boxes and bags and piles of crystals and my crystal books - I felt like a dragon surveying its hoard! I'll try to get to the post office this week to post what I've found. I'm putting a little something in for Alex too. Does he have a favourite colour?
*hugs tight* Love, J xxxxx
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 01:17 am (UTC)Alex's favorite color is red. He used to love yellow when he was around 3 years old and now he loves red. He's fickle.
Thank you for going through the stones for me. You don't have to do that you know, but I do love the stones! I wish the one I had for pain would do something. lol! I am cramping on my period now and I can't take "anything" for the pain! I tell you I am cursed! I have always, until now, been able to take aspirin, Advil, any kind of pain medicine and have become allergic to them too because I didn't know if you take any medicine while you are having an allergic reaction to another one, your body can become allerigic to it. It seems from what I just read that I am now prbably allergic to all antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and N-SAIDS (Advil, Aleve, etc.) This is a bad dream that I can't wakeup from. I tried a heating pad for cramps, but it didn't help much + the heat bothers my hives. :( Oh tell me to shut-up!
I can just picture you sitting there with a thousand crystals all around you...and your books. LOL! Hysterical! :) You're a good friend.
Love Deb.

Date: 2012-08-20 10:12 am (UTC)Just looked up menstrual cramps in my crystal prescriptions book and it suggests Chrysocolla, Citrine, Infinite Stone, Jet, Labradorite, Lapis Lazuli, Magnesite, Rose Quartz, Topaz and Pearl - even I haven't got some of those. Still you have Rose Quartz, and Black Obsidian is general pain relief, so try those for now, I'll shove a couple extras from the list in with what I've already collected. Good job I haven't wrapped them yet!
I well remember the misery of cramps, I used to get them so badly (hence the hysterectomy), Heat helped, but in hot weather it was pure misery because the heat gave me a heat rash. I wish I could suggest something to ease the pain.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-24 02:20 am (UTC)Thank you for the list of crystals. I'm glad I have the Rose Quartz and Black Obsidian at least though I don't think anything but Advil or heavier pain killers can stop my cramps. I gave in that night and took an Oxycodone. Yes I got welts, but I stopped hurting. On Advil, my lip/s are sure to swell up so I resisted taking it. You would think it would be the safer drug to take. ? It is over-the-counter.
The one time heat stopped my cramping was when I put this heated blanket all the way around my lower back and closed it across my front. After awhile they just stopped. I was living with my parents and it was really cold downstairs. Right now all that heat would be very unconfortable and with fresh welts from my last 2 bad reactions, it would be awful!
This is another old post as you know. I hope you are doing ok. On one of your post you said you are still not always sleeping well. Something about being afraid of waking up after 3 hours. I so was hoping your meds helped you sleep through the night more often. I love my sleep and with this pain, I dread trying to sleep except on the nights I take a pain pill. Whine, complain, I know.....
love Deb. :)

Date: 2012-08-24 09:41 am (UTC)Oh, I haven't slept through the night in longer than I can remember. probably not since before the tranquilizers started having the opposite effect. I wake up every 2 or 3 hours. I get back to sleep again fairly quickly (unless I wake up with indigestion or something), but it's not the same as unbroken sleep.
Forgot to tell you, while I was out shopping on Wednesday with mum in the supermarket, I bumped into my old doctor, Dr Rodrigues! He's such a lovely man, retired years and years ago, but still remembers me and always stops for a chat. It's the oddest thing - he's the one who got me addicted to the second lot of tranquilizers, but I've never resented him for it. Back then, doctors just didn't know how addictive they could be and he really helped me to cut them down gradually and get off them. I remember how pleased he was when I told him I'd stopped taking them altogether, he was so supportive right through my withdrawal and felt so bad that he'd got me addicted. It was good to see him, I'm always amazed at the people who still remember me years after! My teacher when I was 10 still remembers me and greets me like I'm an old friend, which I guess after so many years I really am, lol!
