The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

the way she keeps looking at me is just heartbreaking. not a face of someone who isnt in pain

i fucking hate the fact that we have to trust these guys with the lives of our loved ones. From what ive seen and experienced throughout my life, doctors/vets/etc have done more harm due to their greed and negligence than good. Most of them are more concerned about the business aspect of things over everything else. Makes me sick to my stomach.

She's super bad in the mornings. Doesnt want to get up, doesnt eat, gums are pale ... then she slowly perks up(if i can even use that here) as the day goes

just took an adderall. someone sold me one and i chewed up the extended release beads in there so it should hit me harder. i think im feeling it but im not sure

my parents might let me back in. i got bored and spent yesterday driving around unlicensed with no registration, insurance, or anything. road was closed and there was detour so i got lost in the hood at night and i ended up pulling into a sketchy food lion parking lot and spending the night because there were too many cops. was fine except for the fucking street sweeper that started banging around for like an hour around 1 am. now im just sitting in my car in my parents neighborhood

if u wanna know why i got kicked out, it was cuz i ordered a "suspicous" package which was just a box lmfao

It's hard to know what's going on in the heads of animals but you forever hear about people, oldies especially, who have lived together forever and then once one dies the other doesn't last much longer. Your girl lost her friend not long back, whether she's in physical pain might not be the case, she might be in emotional pain

yeah this all started after he passed away. They were also lifelong partners

 

[Slammed]

It could be her way of saying she's ready.
Of course that's no easier on you but it's possible.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I promised myself i would never do that again. I think it's her saying "please help me" ... which is just killing me.

She just woke up from a good few hours of sleep, scarfed down some chicken and canned pumpkin heh. She loves pumpkin

 

[PrincessHades]

adderalls alright...it made me feel like skateboarding so i went hard at it for the first time in a while and im in an okay mood but i cant stop ticing out and grinding my teeth

She's eating, that's a good sign even if the full outlook isn't great.

Sounds like she's going through a really tough time mate. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy.

Fark! I've been flapping around like a blue arse fly today, I don't even remember stopping for lunch. Kids school play is on today and tomorrow, the eldest has one of the lead roles and I got roped in to do all the sound and lights. Two practise performances on Monday, three today and three tomorrow. I don't know if I'm coming or fucking going at the moment.

 

[Onder]

I'm at work thinking about when to leave and where to grab a beer and some snacks afterwards.

 

[Sophii]

Bout to pull a lunch through dinner shift at work today. Gives me more hours than Im used to

you're sleeping in your car
just drive your car out far enough that you just completely stop interacting with your parents for a couple of years
you seriously need to just cut the umbilical cord already

maybe you could just drive out to dallas and be a homeless person with me
it'll be pretty fun

waiting for @HadesRagnazrath and @Terasophe to see these pictures

Hows the dog going @TechnicalBarbarity ?

I had actually seen some talk about how the recent Tyson interview was a bit of a shitshow, but because I can't handle listening to him talk for much more than a few minutes I didn't bother to check it out, then I saw this just now. Whew, Rogan actually does some noticeable eyerolls at these interruptions.

eating less and less, even refusing to touch her canned pumpkin. She gets a little better throughout the day but even that has declined. Her gums get very pale, especially in the mornings ... but yesterday was a pretty bad day all throughout for her. They said without the surgery she would have died in a few days and with the surgery in a few months at best. But yet here she is over a week later. What if i had rushed her onto the table of that one money hungry surgeon earlier this week? Who knows what couldve happened. All the other doctors told me the next step is to get an ultrasound to make sure it hasnt spread yet he didnt want to take that route ...which would stop him from charging me 10k because if it has spread to her liver then a surgery will actually do her more harm than good and is not advised at all). I ordered some kind of chink medicine called "life gold", and im calling around today to see if there's a mobile ultrasound service around here that would come over instead to make it easier on her.

 

[Slammed]

Poor girl!
I don't even know if we have mobile ultra sounds for pets. It would be good to find a vet that can do it that way.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i just talked to someone who said their dog had a malignant tumor on her spleen removed and she lived another 3 and half year ... and i think that's rare, like needle in a haystack rare. I think im gonna take her in tomorrow morning to get it done. The only thing im worried about is that they're all telling me shes going only to live another month or two at best if they do the surgery if it's malignant(which it most likely is), so im not sure it's worth it to put her through that surgery if shes going to pass away afterward. But then again these are the same people who also told me my dog would have been dead by now if she hadnt gotten the surgery. I dont want her to die on a surgeons table or one of their kennels, but i also need to do everything i can to try and help her. I just dont know if i will be helping her or doing her more harm. im so fucking lost right now

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah that's a tough one bro. Surgery may very well extend her life, but the question is whether her quality of life is good enough to put her through all of that. It's good to hear that you're at least comforting her as much as you can.

 

[Slammed]

I don't think there is any right answer. No one can tell you for sure which way to jump, including the doctors doing the surgery. It really does suck not being able to get answers but unfortunately that is what we get dealt with. I don't envy you at all.
