My two Russian Blues are now 15. Both are beginning to show signs of the aging process. The female has to have monthly injection in her spine to keep the arthritis in her back legs at bay. Male has started to slow down his massive appetite and has lost weight. Time is coming and I am not looking forward to it.
around 40 years ago I worked on helicopters. We had our own machines and also did maintenance on others machines. When we were working on ours shop rate was $145 per hour. (I got $7) When we were working on someone else’s shop rate was $425. (I got $7) Can’t imagine what it would be today.
I’ve had room mates only twice. One of those times, the other individual passed during the night. I let the night nurse know. I was moved to a single room.
Hospitals. Most people find hospitals quite upsetting and fear them. Me? I love it! If I could take a recording of the nurses station and put it on a 24 hour loop, I would use that to go to sleep at night. Where else can you go where it is quiet, you have no responsibilities other than getting better and everyone goes out of their way to make you comfortable. (Usually) Plus no one yells at you if all you want to do is read a book or take a nap.I’ve spent enough time in hospitals from an early age, they are not an issue for me.
My brother’s daughter is hours away from death. Her husband in now way can raise or care for children. Brother and his wife will now get her kids, a 8yo girl and a 5yo boy. They have been childless for better part of 20 years.
