Rabbit Update - The Sequel

Aug 02, 2012 18:08

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 ( Read more... )

Another old post...I'll catch up someday! Sorry, it got long.

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!

Glad you had such a great friend growing up - hopefully once you get the vulvodynia under control, you can get in toch with her and catch up!

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!

I'm STUpid!!!! I knew that didn't sound right! Yes, "Unbreakable" is the Bruce Willis movie I loved. Where is my brain?! ...and that's it! The Sixth Sense! I really love it too!

love deb*hiding her face*

I won a boxed set of three movies - Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense and the one with Mel Gibson and aliens in a cornfield (Can't remember the title) in a masgazine competition years ago. The competion was, you had to give a witty explanation for crop circles - I said they were made by fairies trying to update their image, and I won! I was so pleased! They're three really great movies. I don't often win things, and I'm usually useless at those slogan-type competitions, but the magazine people thought it was funny so I got the prize =) that was so long ago though. Can't remember the last competition I entered.

Very old post.

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.

*bounces with excitement* Hopefully The Avengers will be out over here at around the same time, or not long after. I'm saving coins so I can buy it when it comes out. Might check in our local shop and find out when, I might pre-order it. So looking forward to seeing it!

The Avengers debmommy22 August 24 2012, 02:42:17 UTC
Yeah, my naughty husband downloaded a bluray copy for us to watch tomorrow night I hope. We want Alex to watch with us. He slept through the best part of it when we saw it at the theaters. I am still buying it though in Sept., the 25th I believe. Someone said they were getting it in August somewhere else, not sure if it was the UK or not. You are going to love it!!! I can't wait until tomorrow night!

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

I'll just hope and pray that your insurance will cover it - after all, the other, more usual treatments are making you worse because of the welts and swelling. Surely if they saw how you're being affected they'd have to make you an exception to the rule. Of course, insurance companies are seldom kind like that. Good luck with the phone call!

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

Captain America has been available here since last year sometime. I know because I bought the DVD. for my brother last Christmas. I've seen it, but honestly can't remember much about it. I LOVE the Avengers though and I loved the movie "Thor". You really need to see Thor if you haven't because then you know the back story of Thor and his brother Loki who is in "The Avengers" too. Since I loved Thor so much and barely remember Captain America, I think Thor was probably the better movie, but then again everyone is different in what they like. I should watch CAmerica again before judging, I guess I just got a thing for Thor! OH BABY!! He's gorgeous! lol! And I really love Tony Stark/Ironman! He is hysterical! I've always loved Robert Downey Jr. anyway and he is perfect as Ironman. I have seen all the Ironman movies they've done so far and loved them too. At first I didn't think I would, but I watch them again and loved them. I guess because Tony is so stuck on himself, I got the wrong idea about him. I had been used to the Spiderman/Superman boy next door type heroes if that makes sense. Tony is downright wicked sometimes...kind of has the Ianto sense of humor except Tony is not as quiet & proper as Ianto. lol! I make no sense.

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. :)

I am beyond excited for you, I really hope this works! The acupuncturist sounds like a good person, and even if he's slready treated people for the same or similar conditions it could still be legitimate research, I don't know how these things work. *hugs* All the luck in the world!

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 debmommy22 August 26 2012, 06:00:03 UTC
It maybe legitimate research since there is probably more than one way acupunture is done as in the needles may have to be put in a different place depending where the pain is in each woman? Just guessing. I will know more once I talk with Bret again. Thank you! I need the luck.

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!

I'm looking forward to getting all the recent superhero movies, but it's going to be pricy and after spending out so much on my rabbit I can't afford to be too extravagant, especially as he might need more antibiotics when he goes for his checkup in a month. Maybe I'll ask for some for Christmas!

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.

*Big Hugs* ♥ ♥
