2024.06.09 12:14 Branco1988 Death and Dying

I've seen quite a few posts about death recently. I thought to share some information to help you guys to understand your dreams better.
In every moment of our life we face the possibility of death. It's not suprising that the subject of death figures appear in our dreams. It can make us aware of our deepest fears and feelings of our own death, or the death of someone we love.
Dreaming of death can also signify the end of a phase in life, a belief or conviction, or the death of an idea. Rarely are dreams about death, an actual indication of a future death of a person, or oneself.
After death often comes a rebirth, in whatever form that might take.
Here are some symbolic explanations about how death might occur in a dream.
Dead people:
People we know who have died. An attempt to deal with our emotions, feelings of guilt or anger in connection to this person; or feelings about death itself. When someone we know dies we go through a period of change, as our emotions and memories about them also change. In accepting death, meeting any feelings of loss, grief and anger, and continuing to love, such dreams can gradually become happier and resolved.
Dead person or body:
This often represents some area of your life that has "died". This can refer to feelings, emotions, beliefs and convictions. Such as hopeless feelings about a relationship that has ended, or someone that you have lost. The dead person might be a part of you that you want to leave behind.
Murdemurderer:
Each of us are implicated in killing -- by denying, repressing, controlling -- some part of our nature. The areas that are denied can be ressurected through awareness of our deed, and indicate a sensitivity and potential.
Feelying from a murderer shows a fear that is threatening our confidence, of something we feel threatened by.
Murderous rage (in the dreamer):
It is observable that repressed sexuality and traumatized childhood love leads to feelings of murderous rage that may not be expressed socially, but do appear in dreams; also childhood anger with an damaged emotional bond with the mother. In that case the dreamer is the murderer. The murder will then be killing of any love or emotional connection or bond between child and parent; the child murdering their own feelings in order to survive.
Suicide:
Remembering that most people in dreams represent parts of oneself, this might illustrate that we lack pleasure in life or have little to live for in the way of satisfaction. It might also indicate interiorized anger, where instead of admitting our anger, we destroy ourselves or part of our feelings.
When seeying someone we know, often shows us hoping this person will get out of our life.
Drowning:
Closely related to death, the dreamer often wakes up at the point of suffocation.
Because of the water, drowning depicts a feeling of being overwelmed by difficult emotions or anxieties.
If about someone else, it occasionally shows your apprehension about their health or well-being, having the suggestion of death or breakdown.
Being shot:
A often fatal occurance in the physifal world, being shot shows a traumatic injury to feelings, often our of parental or other close relationship. It does not need to be dramatic, like being assaulted, but it can be a quiet injury. It also might indicate a feeling of you being targeted by other peoples ridicule.
Shooting someone:
Anger, fear or defense against meeting feelings or insights, agressive sexuality, exploring feelings about death.
Killing a parent:
To be free of the introverted restraints and ready made values of our parents. Killing or burying them indicates coming to terms with the beliefs we learned from growing up, and in doing so finding our own. They are often a healthy sign of independance.
Dead husband: your memories and remaining emotions about your husband; the psychic bond you have with him.
Death of son:
A mother often kills her son in her dreams as she sees him make moves towards independance.
Burial:
Letting go of the past as we know it, and opening the way to a meeting with what we gained from it; repressing experience that may be painfu or we do not wish to meet.
Being buried alive; memories of difficult birth and its fears.
Rebirth:
Symbols of rebirth are: the cave, and egg, spring, tree, the cross, dawn, emerging out of the sea, the snake, the bird, a seed, arising from the earth, phoenix, drinking alcohol or red wine, flame, a pearl, the womb. Rebirth os as difficult to face as death. It holds not only the memories of the struggles and difficulties of physical birth and growth, but also the challanges of becoming the unknown future, the dark possibility, the new.
Let me know what you think and of there are any questions.

2024.06.09 11:57 ReadyContact9736 Breaking Down the Everton Takeover

Hello Evertonians! I am an FC Barcelona fan, based in Los Angeles, who works in Sports Finance. My neighbor and his wife, who are Evertonians, came over to chat and understand what’s up with the club. It's Saturday night here, and I didn't have anything better to do, so I dug into things.
I will try to simplify things from what I read and the conversations I have heard. I am not involved with the buyout but know folks who are. It's a much smaller industry where everyone knows everyone.
Here we go.
The Debt
MSP Sports Capital has two distinct security arrangements:
Rights and Media Funding is a five-year rolling credit facility. Think of this as something similar to a credit card. Here is where you get conflicting information. A significant discrepancy in reporting, which in my opinion can be a dealbreaker. A few outlets report this loan is secured by future payments from transfers/media, etc. I likely believe it is secured against Everton’s bank accounts, fixed charges over Everton’s property portfolio (near Goodison Park), and a floating charge over all other unencumbered assets. (Shoutout to The Esk, he is an absolute gem). This RMF debt accrues a 10.25% interest.
These are the loans that Everton will have to pay regardless as they are secured well.
Loans to 777 Partners (Inherited by A Cap) are likely junior to these two loans. In any bankruptcy event, MSP and RMF get paid first before 777 Partners and Moshiri. However, A Cap says their loan is secured and they are senior creditors of the club, which would put them at the same level as MSP and RMF.
The Timing
Something that came up in the chatter was the timing of this takeover. It is interesting as Everton is due to receive prize money payments from the league which are stood at £133 million. This is the money the club receives from the overall competition commercial pool, which is distributed to all the teams, based on a few things, for example, their position in the league table at the end of the season.
Folks involved in financing other clubs have said this payment likely hits before 30th June. There is another payment due in August/September which is the first tranche of payments from the league. (Unsure on this one, but this is what I heard, payment flows vary a lot).
Despite the timing, the payments would go only so far in helping the club and were likely factored in during takeover talks. My bet is the takeover is likely to complete before 30th June, or at least a structure is agreed upon. 30th June is the deadline used for accessing Premier League Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR) compliance.
If deals can be done before that “deadline”, they fall within transfers for the 2023/24 season and are included in the club’s financial accounts for last season, rather than moving into the new campaign. If the plan of the new owners is to recapitalize the team, pay down some debt, and sell players to avoid another PSR violation penalty, my bet is the deal gets done before June 30th.
The Sale
The Buyers As of today, June 8 11:00 pm PDT, here are the potential suitors:
Hear rumblings of another group, but almost everyone is looking to finance the takeover using debt along with equity. Many suitors will be willing to provide debt-based financing for the purchase, hence allegiances are bound to change.
The Possibilities
Here are the things that can happen. I am simplifying this to the bare minimums. The actual deals are complicated af and take months to put up and months to complete.
Possibility I: New Owner comes in, pays all debt, and recapitalizes the team
Highly unlikely. The Premier League is a lucrative league for almost every single private equity investor. It’s the league that is expected to continue to grow and firms take less downside risk when buying a team versus a team in a league like Serie A.
However, this would cost any new owner over £1 billion. My bet it costs somewhere around £1.3 billion. Deals of this size happen, but Everton is in a unique position and negotiating from a position of weakness. In my opinion, only someone in the Middle East or a single buyer would be able to pull this through. No one in private equity would commit to this, as they are all answerable to their investors.
Simply put, Everton is not worth £1.3 billion.
Possibility II: New Owner comes in and negotiates with creditors
A likely option. In this case, a new owner comes in and negotiates with the creditors to either forego some of this debt or restructure it over an extremely long period of time at low rates. This would make Everton a more lucrative option. However, the club would still owe a lot of money over the long run and will be paying interest on that loan.
This would mean Everton is run like a lean machine for a few years, with fewer resources going towards things like player transfers, etc. It would, however, still be able to stay afloat.
Possibility III: MSP Capital exercise the option to take majority control of Everton
Another likely option. More likely than Possibility II. MSP Capital takes majority control and would, in all honesty, look to buy out Moshiri. They will need a lot of capital, and they are already pulling strings, putting up their stake in FC Augsburg for sale last week. MSP buy out Moshiri, restructure some of the debt, and put up some more capital. They would likely clear the RMF loan first.
The managing partner of MSP Sports Capital, Jeff Moorad, was a professor of mine in a class I took at UCLA. He is an absolute beast, and an amazing dude to hang with. Unbiased view, MSP is actually highly respected in the industry, and widely regarded as having a razor sharp approach to finance.
They are known to take long positions, but I think Everton would likely be a position they hold for the short term, IF they go alone on this deal. (This is my take, not Professor Moorad). It would be akin to what Elliott Investment Management did with AC Milan when their Chinese owners backed out. They would step in, stabilize the ship, hope the new stadium attracts enough new commercial and matchday revenue, and sell the team to another buyer recovering some of their investment. What Elliott did with AC Milan was absolutely legendary, and in no world would Gerry Cardinale and RedBird have bought AC Milan had Elliott not done its job.
INSIDE INFO HERE: I cannot reveal others in the MSP Sports Capital consortium. Texted a former colleague who is at the firm that are bidders with MSP. If the consortium is agreed upon, MSP comes in with others, who are capable of buying majority control, and running Everton over the long term. MSP in this case would still retain a minority stake. The new stadium holds the key to this deal.
Possibility IV: Everton goes into administration
Cannot rate this option or its likelihood. Let me walk you through this. Administration is a major taboo in the football world, but something extremely common in finance. It is a way for a firm to basically restructure its debt and get back to good health. It does not mean the club ceases to exist.
The preferred way that things are done is through a method called ‘company voluntary arrangement’ (CVA). In a CVA, a deal is put forth, which creditors vote on, usually giving them less money than they are owed, with voting power decided based on seniority. In this case, MSP and RMF would get more votes in the say versus A-Cap and Moshiri.
CVAs are extremely common in the EFL and other leagues, with advisory firms literally minting millions every year, doing nothing but advising teams here. In the Premier League, only Portsmouth has ever gone into administration. Going into administration would see 9 points being docked at the start of next season for Everton.
The Pros of this approach:
The Cons:
There are some speculations online as this being the preferred way in for new owners. I doubt it, but the threat of administration is enough for even the world’s biggest banks/financiers to come to the negotiating table. Every possible new owner would hold this gun over Moshiri’s head, to get him to agree to a deal, and forgo as much of his loans.
Some Questions I think are FAQs
Is Michael Dell buying Everton?
No, Michael Dell is not buying Everton. Michael Dell’s family office is DFO Management, which was formerly known as MSD Capital. MSD Capital was Michael Dell’s family office, meaning it exclusively invested his money. However, in 2009, MSD Capital opened up to outside investors and became an investment firm of its own. In 2023, MSD merged with BDT to create BDT+MSD, the firm that is backing the Bell and Downing bid.
They do still invest some of Dell’s money, and Dell may be their biggest investor, but as far as I know, BDT is huge itself, managing some of the capital from the Walton Family (Walmart), the Pritzkers, and the Mars Family. BDT’s founder, Byron Trott, is worth about $3.2 billion alone. Trott is considered a legend at Goldman, where he helped Buffett structure his investment in Goldman Sachs during the financial crisis of 2008. One of my ex-bosses worked at Goldman during this period under Trott’s team and considers him a legend, even saying he single-handedly saved Goldman Sachs by convincing Buffett to invest and structuring some wild deals.
One thing I know for sure is BDT+MSD would likely pursue a debt-based financing structure. They are not built to go heavy into equity-based financing for sports teams. BDT+MSD have already done a bunch of debt-based deals; Everton won’t be different. In the scenario where Bell and Downing succeed in taking over, Everton would likely owe a lot of money to BDT+MSD.
Would Bell and Downing with BDT+MSD make sense?
My take here is no. Running a football club is no joke. Even though Bell and Downing being Evertonians makes it ideal, I am not entirely convinced of their ability to run a team. Everton would still be severely constrained financially, as they would owe money to BDT+MSD, and Bell and Downing wouldn’t be able to pump a lot of cash into the business from their end.
There is nothing that guarantees Everton will not see the same scenario as it does now, three years after Bell and Downing take over. Private equity folks make sense, as they come in knowing they may know other clubs but don’t know much about Everton. They will, by default, bring on Evertonians on the board, and will have much more incentive to run it over the long term, as the only way they see a return is through actually growing the club economically, which only means a better Everton on and off the pitch.
Are BDT+MSD backing only Bell and Downing?
No, BDT+MSD are free to back anyone in the contention. They are committing to debt-based financing, so as long as the buyer is credible enough, they should have no problem going ahead. Considering they are backing Bell and Downing, I would be surprised if others in the race did not get better financing terms.
As I said, allegiances in debt-based financing are fluid. The hard truth here is BDT+MSD would likely be calling up other potential buyers who bid to see if BDT+MSD can provide financing for their deal. Debt-based financing for a Premier League club is pretty much a dream scenario for any firm, as the underlying asset securing the loan is more stable than in other deals.
Simply put, BDT+MSD are not competing with other potential buyers; they are competing with firms like JP Morgan, Sixth Street, Ares, Arctos, etc., who may want to front one of the buyers.
What’s up with A-Capital?
I do not know. Conflicting things online. I doubt A-Capital will get to invest anything more in Everton, through debt or through equity. I also read that their financial position is under question as the rating they rely on no longer reflects their financial standing. However, I still do not know what there position is.
Who do I want to see win the bid?
Biased towards MSP Sports Partners because of Jeff Moorad. If they pull the consortium through, and the other investors take over the majority club, all I can say is Everton would be lucky. That being said, there are plenty of other people willing to buy Everton with MSP. As of now, the one most likely, along with MSP, would be a dream scenario.
Also, it wont take time for someone entirely new to emerge as a suitor. That is how consortium works. People are surprised, but its literally like texting friends to pitch in and creating a group chat. Things happen over Telegram/Whatsapp/Signal. My boss had once raised $xxx million for a deal texting the LP in the deal. The conversation went along these lines.
Prospectus sent over Mail + WhatsApp
My Boss : What do you think?
LP : $xxx m 👍
LP : Jeff also $xx m and Jake $xx m 🤝🤝
I can bet there are plenty of group chats of potential consortiums that may enter bidding. Everton FC is low-key a bargain, the debt will eventually get restructured. There are plenty of more messy restructurings that have happened in Finance before. Creditors eventually cave, but its a dogfight.
Enough written. Feel free to drop any Qs you may have, I will answer them to the best of my ability and knowledge of Everton’s finances. Massive shout to The Esk. The guy seems incredibly passionate about Everton.
I really hope you guys pull through, I know you will.

2024.06.09 11:48 IrnBroski Advice sought regarding ecoli infection in some of my cats

Story so far: (can skip the bit in italics)
Adopted 2 cats in 2022, a mother and a kitten. Mother (M) was unspayed, kitten (D) was a skinny little bugger.
Both healthy enough, mum's poop could be a little soft and smelly at times but I figured that was just her poop.
Fast forward a year, i haven't spayed her yet because honestly I feel bad doing it, but i know it's the best thing to do. So I come to the compromise - i will let her have one more litter of kittens and then get her spayed. So I find a good stud cat on the net and get the deed done. A couple months later she gives birth to 5 healthy kittens and one stillborn.
I feed mum more now since she's eating for 6, but her poop becomes really bad, and the kittens have a few poop issues too. I find good homes for 4 out of the 5 and get them away, but for the fifth kitten a buyer drops out at the last minute, and I end up stuck with her (S). Anyway, she's lovely but occasionally has bright red blood in her stool which is worrying.
So i get her poop tested and it comes back with a pure growth of beta haemolytic ecoli. I then get the other two's poop tested and they also come back with beta haemolytic ecoli (predominating but not pure). They are put on a 20 day course of amox/clav, after which i get them all tested again. The older 2, M and D, now don't have signs of the infection, but S, the kitten, still has it and it is now also resistant to amox/clav.
Go back to the vet, they give her an injection of cefovecin (I think that's the name), wait a bit, get them all tested again - now M has the infection again, predominating but not pure, D is still clear and S has pure ecoli culture in her poop - BUT it is no longer flagging as resistant.
These tests were last week so I've sent them to my vet who is yet to get back to me - just asking around here if anyone has any insight.
Firstly, it seems unusual to me that the ecoli that was first flagging as resistant in S has now become sensitive to amox/clav. Not that I am complaining as amox seems to be the most effective antibiotic out of the lot for it, but just unusual. I called the lab that did the test and they said they have changed their methodology and now use some equipment which is more accurate.
And secondly, just seeking general advice on how to bring their guts back to health. Can 2 antibiotics be administered at the same time? amox and cef? I know it would be strong for S (she's 7 months old) but she is well within herself, active and running around playing with her sister. M is an adult and at least 3.5 years old. Maybe fighting the infection on 2 fronts would be more effective? Just seeking advice here, I would like my kitties to be free of this disease and will do what needs to be done for that to happen.
(and in case you are wondering, M is spayed now and i told all the people who took kittens from me about the infection the moment S's first test came back and again when M and D's tests came back)

2024.06.09 11:47 strugglingsahm If you’re unsure of making the switch from breast milk to formula…

*** This is a rather long post and if not allowed my apologies. I’m not even sure if this is the proper place to post this but I’ve been a lurker since I had my LO & would just like to share my story…
I struggled with this for weeks. Practically from the moment I had my LO. It’s taken five weeks of debating myself, questioning myself, stressing myself out to decide the switch had to be made for myself.
I started EBF & everything was fine at first until it wasn’t. Cluster feeding kicked my butt and put a major strain on my mental health. A strain I couldn’t afford to deal with on top of everything else that comes during postpartum.
I thought pumping would solve that problem but if anything it made it worse. It was nice to be able to better see how much my LO ate and to increase my supply but almost immediately the stress of when to pump, how much I pumped, & engorgement reared its ugly head because LO had no desire to be put down. I was a “just-enough” pumper so there came the mental load of was there a better pump to buy, what pieces worked best, what style of pump would be better, creating a better schedule, what to eat to help increase supply, etc. It all came down to me not having a single moment to myself no matter how helpful my husband was when he wasn’t working. It felt like all of my free time was dedicated to pumping once I could get LO off of me long enough to do so. All because I wanted LO to exclusively drink breast milk since it’s been engraved in my brain that that’s “what’s best.”
Meanwhile I felt like my relationship with my first child took a major hit. There may be possible signs of PPD that I absolutely intend on mentioning to my doctor at my upcoming 6 week appt but the stress of pumping has absolutely exacerbated my bad moods and unfortunately my first has taken the brunt of it. I’ve been impatient, short-tempered, and overall a very unpleasant version of myself and we’ve butted heads constantly because of it. The guilt/shame that I felt when I reflected on my interactions with him was the straw that broke that camels back for me.
I finally made the choice to go EFF. I started by supplementing with formula and luckily we found a brand that LO tolerated right away with no major issue. I’ve continued pumping without a strict regimen for the sake of preventing engorging and have been able to incorporate that with the formula to make the transition smoother for LO. Finally today I’m going to be able to have a mommy/son day with my first while hubby stays home with LO. No having to worry about pumping to leave milk for hubby, wondering if I’ve pumped enough, or trying to rush through our day to make it back home for any reason. It’s a day I feel my first and I need & I couldn’t be more excited for it.
My decision felt selfish at first. I felt like a failure for giving in and not powering through to my goal of six months like I had done with my first. But then I think about my circumstances and realize that things are not the same. My family needs a better version of me. I can’t afford to go through the things I went through when I had my first. I managed but it was one of the most difficult times of my life and if I could go back and give myself the grace I needed, I would’ve done the same then that I’m doing now.
I’ve come to realize that the decision to make the switch isn’t just in the best interest of my LO but in the best interest of myself also. What good is EBF if I’m absolutely miserable? What good am I to my family if EBF/pumping stressed me out to the max?
I’m not sure if this will resonate with anyone but it’s something I thought may be helpful to share. I’m hoping at least one person who’s struggling maybe reads this and it helps tip the scales for them to make the choice that’s not just best for their LO but also a choice that’s best for them. ♥️

2024.06.09 11:43 SapphireWellbeing My whole-body release experience

I enjoy hanging out in this sub, so I wanted to share my experience. Skip to the end if you want the juicy part.
I am 30F, I think I have been in a freeze / flight state since I was a teenager. I have been exposed to mold multiple times, and been quite ill and on medication, antibiotics, most of my life - which further shut down my nervous system.
I'm a woman of science, I even have a degree in Human Genetics. I shunned anything that was too "woowoo" - until I reached my breaking point.
I started bodywork in February 2024, and it has changed my life. In Aotearoa (New Zealand), bodywork is a group thing, you don't do it alone. In the 'clinic' there would be up to five people on tables each with a practitioner, and 1-2 extra practitioners walking around for extra assistance.
I screamed, cried, howled, wailed, shook at my first healing. The practitioners ground you, as they stretch your body, and affirm you are safe, that they have you. There is singing, sea salt spray, warming balms, talking, laughing, hugs. You meet the gaze of others in your session afterwards, and you share smiles, and some chats, both proud of yourself and the other person for the journey you just went on.
I did six of these bodywork sessions - called mirimiri.
It's beautiful, but it might not make a lot of sense to those unfamiliar with the tikanga of Te Ao Maori in my homeland.
My nerves were firing, tingling, it went on for weeks as my system came back online. It wasn't too painful, but it was very noticeable.
I started yoga, twice a week, now four times a week.
I do a little bit at home before bed too, Yin is my favourite.
It had been two months since my last mirimiri, and I was feeling so off.
THE JUICE:
So I signed up to a breath work experience, again it was a group healing session. The focus was on breathing in the light, and releasing whatever the body wished to let go of, no pressure, no expectations.
After some basic breathwork, and sharing time with the group we went on our journey for an hour. Breathing, laying face up in a circle with eyes covered. It forces you to tune in with your body, I could hear the breaths of the others.
Music played, and emotions swirled. Eventually the pain in my left sciatica started to play up and I was uncomfortable, panic set in. One of the practictioners came to ground me , then left, and I was able to continue. Five minutes later the discomfort was back, I ended up needing to curl into a ball on my side.
The practitioner returned, turning me onto my back again and the FEAR just RIPPED through me. She straightened me out, another practitioner came to my feet. I was so scared, so much was washing over me, they encouraged me to breathe, and to let it go, and then it happened.
My whole body started to shake, I was convulsing at the chest, my hips and legs shaking uncontrollably, my hands were quivering and it was terrifying but amazing at the same time. It felt like it would never stop, the energy was swirling in a circular motion inside me. It probably looked like I was possessed.
The practitioners hummed and breathed with me, stroking pressure points on my head and feet to ground me.
This went on for what felt like ages, but was probably only two minutes because as soon as the current song finished, my body went limp and I flopped.
I had to roll over to cough something out of my chest, have some water, and when I lay back down it was the most relaxed and safe I have ever remembered feeling, ever. I can't actually remember a time, even when I was small. A huge wave of gratitude and joy flowed over me, I felt so warm and free.
The others had different and similar experiences, it was wonderful to share our thoughts and feelings afterwards, hugs all around.
My perspective on life since that day has been forever changed. It's a lot easier to move through things, even when they're hard.

2024.06.09 11:37 This_Tax162 If you do this you will get your first 100 SaaS Sign ups (Fast*) n Free

I recently did a post on this sub about how I went from $0 to $22k MRR but is was over 1,000 words. Within it if you were picking up what I was putting down you could have worked out what is a fast* and free method to get your first 100 SaaS (*after you have put in the hard yards).
Whatever your area of expertise is, start a YouTube channel. If you're into ai, seo, ecomm, python, Javascript, react, aws, or whatever go checkout popular vids in that niche on YouTube and produce a better one, and then another one. Now to do this properly you do need to go all in. Publish ~100 vids (could be more, could be less)
If you publish 1 vid per week for 2 years you will likely build an audience that appreciates what you do, not only that your audiece will let you know the pain points in this niche.
Then things get a bit easier, build your startup app to solve the pain point(s) and market to your own audience.
This is one way you can get your first 100 sign ups fast and free. It's not for everyone but if you have the time and motivation it could be worth a shot.

2024.06.09 11:27 auxiliary_otter Apply for BN(O) or HKSAR passport?

To clarify, I don't have a need for either passport. I was born in Hong Kong before 1997 but immigrated with my family to the US at a young age and became a naturalized American, so that's been my primary and only passport.
But my parents have kept my old child BN(O) passport, and I've been playing around with getting it renewed as an adult, even if I'll probably never use it. Just as a reminder and proof of my heritage, plus the UK passport looks nice. Then I got to wondering what the difference is to the HKSAR one is? For me it's less a matter of visa policies of the passports, and more of proof of my heritage and legal status. I have the following pros and cons list:
BN(O)
HKSAR
Signs point to me just getting my BN(O), but anything I'm possibly missing? To add: on my last trip to HK my parents helped me renew my adult HKID, which has since expired.

2024.06.09 11:27 PrincessKikay "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?" SPEXCULATION

I have been re-reading Ryan Cohen's wiki page, and something stood out:
"He grew the business [Chewy] to 3.5 billion in revenue in 2018, including 66% of sales coming from customers signed up for automatic recurring shipments"
What if GAMESTOP does a box of games, collectibles and accessories that PRO customers can sign up for and get monthly goodies?
I don't know, I'm not a billion dollar entrepreneur like RCEO. I think it would be a cool idea though. Feel free to post on other subs, I don't have karma.

2024.06.09 11:20 Kiahhhhhh Test knitting

What are everyone’s experiences with test knitting? I signed up to do a test knit with a designer I really like, I’ve knitted a couple of their patterns, I loved the process and they fit me really well. I decided to try a test knit because I want to start designing patterns myself and was curious about the process of test knitting and what to expect. I know most indie designers like to do test knits, to see how the pattern knits up in various sizes, different yarns & knitters, and that it’s also good promo for them when they release a pattern. I attended a workshop earlier this year about basic knitting pattern design, run by someone who releases their own patterns but who trained in a yarn company, and their opinion was that test knits are a waste of time. The reason I’m asking all of this is because the test knit I’m doing is held in a discord server (a new to me app) and people have been asking questions about various things - stitch counts, wording etc - and the designer hasn’t really been replying. A couple of ‘I’ll look into that’ but then no answer has been put onto the thread, I myself asked a question a few days ago & it hasn’t been acknowledged but I know the designer has been on Instagram because they’ve posted a few stories. Is this normal? I thought they’d be checking at least once a day? I know we get the pattern for free but we’re the ones who have spent money on yarn to essentially do a favour for the designer and I just thought there’d be a bit more contact?

2024.06.09 11:05 Normodox UK literary festivals in financial crisis after Baillie Gifford drop all sponsorships

Pressure from Fossil Free Books forced the investment firm to severe sponsorship deals
Baillie Gifford is considering withdrawing support from all literary festivals following vocal protests from an anti-Israel/environmental pressure group.
At least five high profile festivals have severed ties with the asset management firm and a further four festivals have been dropped by the company amid controversy around celebrity dropouts and boycotts.
Cambridge, Stratford, Wigtown and Henley festivals announced on Friday that they had been told that Baillie Gifford was ending its partnership.
Without funding from Baillie Gifford literary festivals are likely to increase ticket prices and reduce their outreach.
Following a coordinated campaign over the asset management firm’s ties to the fossil fuel industry and tangential links to Israel, concerns at the company swelled about the pressure on and safety of staff.
The row first erupted over the Hay Festival in Wales, where comedian Nish Kumar and singer Charlotte Church were among some celebrities who pulled out over the sponsorship deal. Hay eventually caved into the protesters' demands and dropped Baillie Gifford.
Edinburgh International Book Festival also ended its 20-year partnership with the firm, while the Borders Book Festival announced that their relationship with Baillie Gifford had ended following the protests. Stratford Literary Festival stated on its website that its sponsorship deal with the firm will end after this year.
All had been targeted by Fossil Free Books (FFB), a campaign group that called on authors to withdraw from the festivals and threatened to “escalate” if the festivals did not give in to their demands.
The group highlighted Baillie Gifford’s investments in companies linked to Israel’s defence, technology and cybersecurity industries. The campaigners demanded that Baillie Gifford divest from companies with “links” to “Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide”.
It took issue with firms including Amazon, the semiconductor group Nvidia, and Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, which have links to Israel. These companies are among the most widely held stocks in the world and are hard to avoid in a diversified share portfolio. Most UK pension schemes also include investments in these US tech companies.
FFB used Instagram to promote its campaign calling for divestment from the company's owner.
Last month, more than 700 writers and publishing industry professionals signed FFB’s open letter calling on Baillie Gifford to divest from fossil fuels and cease its links to Israel.
The investment firm said on Wednesday that it was having “ongoing conversations” with the remaining book festivals it supported about its future relationship with them, according to the Times.

2024.06.09 10:59 BlackLabel1803 Not beating myself up, just need to put this out there…

Our oldest has eczema, since she was about 3 weeks old. When she was a baby we lathered her up with baby soap from head to toe, used regular, scented laundry detergent, and jumped from “miracle cream” to “miracle cream” as the symptoms only seemed to get worse.
She’s 4 now and although we have identified several triggers and found steroid creams and other things that help, it is an ongoing battle. She still wakes up multiple times each night just scratching, and she can’t sleep on her own because she needs one of us nearby to apply cream.
My second was born just over a year ago. We followed the same routine as with our first, but this time with the milder soap and free/clear laundry detergent.
When he was a couple weeks old I started to see those familiar bumps on his face, neck and chest. Exactly the way it started with our first. Desperate, I went back to Google, what can we do? How can we prevent this from happening again?
Then I read the following:
Only use plain water for newborn babies. You can start using unperfumed baby bath from about 4 to 6 weeks, but be careful to only use a little so you don't damage your baby's skin.
How had I never heard this before? Where did we get the idea that we had to cover our baby in soap to make sure they’re clean??
I started putting just a couple of drops of soap in baby’s bath. The bumps cleared up in less than a week and to this day he has had no signs of any skin issues. Not even a diaper rash.
Based on the data I have… I can’t help but feel my daughter’s eczema could have been prevented.
Just needed to get this out in case there is anyone else that might have missed the message about babies only needing a tiny bit of soap, if any.

2024.06.09 10:54 squarelolz Was my upbringing messed up / Am i saveable? - 22 m

A few conversations and an effort to be more self aware have recently made me rethink most of my past. I’ve had pretty muted thoughts on it, but now i’m starting to feel like it was realllllly damaging and i was way too sheltered to notice or care. Really would appreciate an outside perspective.
born in alberta canada (I guess this was the first mistake badum tss) Lived with my mom and two siblings while my dad worked and lived in nigeria to support us. we were very well off Never considered myself to be in a single parent household but by definition that’s kinda what it was. In hindsight my mother was grossly negligent despite being a stay at home, to me it was just fun to be allowed to be online/ playing games all day :P
The major issue of my life has been Selective Mutism, the triggering incident was when someone in kindergarten called me a slur and i didn’t know how to respond. From that moment til i graduated high school I never spoke a single word to someone my own age outside of my family/ adjacent. Looking back, any normal parent would’ve tried to do something about this. The most my mom would do was ask me if i made any friends at school a few times in 3rd grade. When my dad heard about it years later i got the craziest beating ever. Had someee friends from church and the neighborhood but most times my mother would tell me i’m not allowed to be friends with them due to “witchcraft” she’s schizophrenic.
In 2011, we visited dad in nigeria, my mother’s schizophrenia told her to say fuckit to the return tickets and have us begin a whole new life there without warning. This is messed up enough but what was more messed up was both my parents just acting like it wasn’t happening, without any explanation being given or like a shred of acknowledgement, all the kids could do was make jokes to each other n withdraw from life to pretend it wasn’t happening. Never knew if we’d go back to our old lives, shit was so freaky. I later learned that the trend in our enclave of society was to go to a western country for university so i figured id just do good in school so i could go back “home” with that method and start over. Otherwise, i had no motivation in life after that incident. It really was handled in a way where life felt so useless. Living with my dad was about the same as what i was used to, another negligent parent. Not much can really be said.
i never knew how to feel about my predicament, i spent all my free time distracting myself with Roblox and other games, and i would play in the loneliest ways i could find. Safe to say, high school was a blur. I also feel like i weaponized my mutism to affirm to myself that i wasn’t supposed to be living there? I just tried to do as little as i needed. I did make a few friends if you could call them that. I try to really examine that time but i find it really hard to grasp. You kinda look forward to your teenage years as a child, a lot is supposed to happen. Not much happened. After i graduated in 2020, i went to a nice university in ontario for one year (online classes era) before taking a gap year to figure things out. Ended up pivoting to doing Roblox full time. Honestly i looked forward to university a lot cause i felt like i knew it would help my social skills. I just had no motivation education wise, i simply had never seriously thought that far ahead. Honestly the only life plan i had since 2nd grade was to be gone by 20.
I found a lot of success in 2022 now living alone in toronto, so since 2021 i genuinely haven’t been in, like any real life social situations. I mastered isolation long ago and never figured that my financial freedom meant i could go outside and mingle and enjoy things. I don’t really know how to, i’ve never ever done that whatsoever. I definitely tried man. but looking back at 2022 the shell shock was still so real. I’m addicted to watching Twitch for social stimulation. One time i donated 50 subs i knew i had gone too deep bruh i signed up for therapy so quick… I only donated 6 today
Today I went to an amusement park. I’ve been trying to think of myself more as a normal person, but the more i observe people the more pain, regret i feel as i see countless normal interactions present such a stark contrast to the type of life i’ve lived. I just want to integrate into society, but i feel so alien. Looking at other people, i feel like i was failed by my parents and robbed of agency, purpose, confidence and the ability to enjoy life beyond music and a few other escapes. Going outside always feels like i got a gun to my head, idk how to describe it. people are so scary to me
Had two more siblings after 2011, their development is going pretty shit to be frank. My parents are like ghosts, they don’t do shit. you can barely get their rich ass to buy clothes for their growing kids. Living with them it was hard to notice, but i’m really starting to think about what the average parental relationship is, and holy crap my shit is so heartbreaking. I’m worried if those kids will also fail to assimilate into society. They have like 0 experience going outside bruh. Won’t speak for my other siblings situations but i’m basically doing the best, and i’m still doing crap
I’m committed to undoing the damage inflicted on me, been in therapy for more than a year. But to help my family, it’s a big burden on me, sometimes i just wanna leave them behind so i can have my own shit in peace man. Nowadays I try to push my parents to do more but they are just so lethargic
What’s really been pissing me off lately is my mother’s demands to be treated like a normal loving parent? Am i tripping or do i have the right to like, cut her out completely? A lot happened i don’t really need to go into here

The Forzacx Floating Shoe Display Shelf with Lights Set of 5 has been a game-changer in my shoe organization journey. The glow color-changing aspect is quite the conversation starter in my household, adding an interesting twist to a typical shoe rack.
The sturdy levitating shoe wall shelf truly displays my top shoes proudly, making them stand out as part of my personal style statement. While some might find it overwhelming, I personally love the visual effect it creates.
The only downside I've noticed is that the lights tend to dim over time, but the fact that it comes with a set of 5 makes this an enjoyable and unique addition to any shoe lover's life.

🔗Wall-Mounted Floating Sneaker Display for Top Collections


https://preview.redd.it/g9z85jziei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=368f43c83144e805fe92374c801a159d0787eae2
I recently got my hands on the Floating Shoe Display for my home space. I must say, it was a fun experience setting it up - a great conversation starter. The wall mount installation made it a breeze to set up, and the floating shelves gave my room a sleek and modern look. One of the highlights was the wide-shaped design that made more room for my kicks, and the highly transparent clear acrylic display created the perfect floating effect.
However, there was one downside, it could only hold most types of sneakers, and the. 16-inch thickness made it a bit too fragile for my liking. But overall, the Floating Shoe Display made a great addition to my space and kept my collection organized and on display. So if you're looking for a unique way to showcase your favorite pairs, this floating shoe display could be the perfect match for you.

🔗Slim, Modern Wall Mounted Shoe Rack for Stylish Storage Solutions


https://preview.redd.it/i1tn87gjei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b35936ffecc04b07ce2b5b2dce737ed0046a0cf5
As a shoe enthusiast, I always find myself looking for innovative and stylish solutions to manage my growing collection. So, when I found this PeachyModern wall-mounted shoe rack, I couldn't resist giving it a try.
This modern, wooden shoe rack perfectly fits my narrow entryway, saving floor space and adding a touch of elegance with its sleek, slim design. I appreciate how it's so lightweight and easy to install, making it an ideal choice for those who aren't handy with tools.
The shoe rack has enough space to accommodate various types of footwear, ranging from high heels to sneakers. Moreover, I especially like how it can fit even wider boots, keeping them in shape and looking neat. One downside though is that it's only suitable for 2 pairs of shoes, but that's minor considering the space it saves.
Incorporating this shoe rack into my home has significantly improved the functionality and aesthetic appeal of my entryway. It's like having a bit of Scandinavian minimalism in my house, and I'm glad I made the purchase. If you're in the market for a modern, compact, and versatile shoe storage solution, this one could just be the peachy solution you're looking for.

🔗Levitating 8-Pack Floating Shoe Display Rack


https://preview.redd.it/37rcdqnjei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cc81b95103a9657ddffc5bb9752df059288ad30
I recently got my hands on the IEEK Floating Shoe Display, a unique and space-saving solution for showcasing my shoe collection. As a proud sneaker enthusiast, I was thrilled to set up this clear acrylic shelf on my wall. The shelf measures 8 x 3 x 2 inches and it can hold most regular size shoes, making it perfect for both casual and designer sneakers.
What stood out to me the most was the floating effect these shelves create. The transparent color allows the entire shoe to be visible, showcasing its details from every angle. However, I noticed that only the bottom of the shoe is supported, so it may not be the best option for shoes with thick bottoms. Nevertheless, it's a great conversation starter and a fantastic way to save space in my living room.
The installation process was a breeze - just drill a hole and screw in the provided hardware. I've set up these shelves in my living room but they could also work well in bedrooms, playrooms, dorm rooms, or even hallways. If you're looking for a fun and functional way to display your sneakers while saving space, I would definitely recommend giving the IEEK Floating Shoe Display a try.

🔗Stylish Cozyside Floating Shoe Display Wall Rack


https://preview.redd.it/1l93ftwjei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de8bc487acc8c3b79066a9330311a35942708160
I recently came across the Cozyside Floating Shoe Display Stand, and I must say, it's a game-changer for showcasing your shoe collection. The sleek, modern design adds a stylish touch to any room, making it a great alternative to traditional shoe racks or display cases.
There's something about the clear, floating shelves that draws your eye and highlights the unique design of each pair of shoes. However, it's not all smooth sailing - the installation process requires a bit more effort than expected, which can be a bit of a letdown.
Despite this minor inconvenience, the high-quality craftsmanship and the ability to display six pairs of shoes is well worth the time spent assembling it. I've been using it in my room, and it truly adds a touch of personality to the space. Overall, I highly recommend the Cozyside Floating Shoe Display Stand for anyone looking to add a bit of flair to their shoe collection.

🔗Dazzling Wall-Mounted Floating Shoe Shelf


https://preview.redd.it/fozioulkei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca58541fb00fdc544ccc24bce7c432aba006dd83
During the past few weeks, I've been using the STAHMFOVER 6-Pack Large Rainbow Acrylic Floating Shoe Shelves. To be honest, my living room was starting to resemble a shoe shop! But these acrylic racks have saved the day, letting me transform the space by adding some color and displaying my favorite pairs.
One of the first things I noticed was how easy they were to install. The whole process took just about half an hour. The installation instructions were straightforward and the screws and nails helped get the job done in no time. I'm quite happy about that, as it takes just a small portion of my day to organize and showcase my favorite footwear.
What I've particularly enjoyed about these floating shoe racks is the ability to easily switch up their arrangement. The shelves have two pre-drilled holes, so you can adjust them to your liking. I must confess, it gave me a sense of satisfaction to see my shoes arranged in the best possible way.
However, I have found a downside as well. They're not the greatest for heavy shoes. I had to remove a pair as they were exceeding the 6-pound limit. I believe this is a minor detail, but it's important to know beforehand.
Despite this limitation, the STAHMFOVER Floating Shoe Shelves have become an essential part of my daily routine. Not only did they help me declutter my living room, but they also allowed me to showcase my shoes in a fun and creative way. Highly recommended for those looking to keep their space organized and looking for a touch of color!

https://preview.redd.it/n7pul4okei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df2a29e14b978336ccb14a7030551017689758ae
As a shoe enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for unique and innovative ways to display my collection. The Floating Shoe Display Wall Mount promised to be a game-changer in my room decoration.
Upon setting it up, the wide-shaped design immediately caught my eye. It made more room for my sneakers and showcased them perfectly. The floating effect offered by this display shelf couldn't be more impressive, thanks to the highly transparent clear acrylic material. It made my shoes seem to 'float' in mid-air, which added a touch of elegance to my room.
The 0.16" thick floating shoe display shelf was sturdy enough to hold most types of sneakers, while being unobtrusive. The platform size was just enough to accommodate sneakers up to size 14, making it a versatile option.
The installation process was a breeze. The included hardware made mounting on the wall a straightforward task. But the real icing on the cake was the impeccable packaging; each shelf was carefully wrapped and protected, ensuring its transparency and floating effect went unmarred.
However, one minor downside was the lack of a detailed installation guide. It could have been helpful for beginners, but other than that, this Floating Shoe Display Wall Mount exceeded my expectations. It's not just a shelf, but a statement piece for any shoe lover's room.

🔗Colorful Glow Floating Shoe Display


https://preview.redd.it/cqehebxkei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ea59028c8adfbbf15762b090f2c32eb31ddfa93
I recently had the chance to try out the Forzacx Floating Shoe Display Shelf with Lights. After unboxing, I was impressed by the sleek design of the shelf. It was easy to assemble and mount on the wall.
The glowing color-changing feature was definitely a highlight, adding a unique touch to displaying my shoes. However, the sturdiness could have been better as I noticed slight wobbling when displaying heavier shoes.
Overall, the stylish and functional display made my top shoes more appealing, but could use some improvements in stability.

🔗Floating Shoe Rack for Displaying Unique Collections


https://preview.redd.it/30x59tzlei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39f40e987abd10f34be46e8fff51a53775059b94
As a shoe enthusiast, I was thrilled to try this floating shoe display shelf. It's the perfect way to showcase my collection in a unique and stylish manner. The acrylic material provides a crystal clear view of my shoes, while also giving them a distinct "hovering" effect.
Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the pre-drilled holes and provided adhesives. The one-piece molding ensures sturdiness, and the shelf can easily be used to display other items too. However, be prepared to wait 24 hours after installing for the best results, and make sure to remove the protective film for full transparency.

🔗Stylish Floating Shoe Shelves for Displaying Your Collection


https://preview.redd.it/j87ybuzlei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68453311484c82a454128fa4e04b7fff65593819
I recently had the opportunity to try out the X-FLOAT Clear Floating Sneaker Shelves. Let me tell you, it was quite a sight to behold! Each shelf can hold two shoes and fit US Men's size 6-13. What really stood out, aside from the clear acrylic shelf, was the floating effect, where the front of the shelf is hidden underneath, giving the shoes a seemingly weightless appearance.
The sturdy 1/4 inch clear acrylic construction does its job, but I have a small concern about the support for larger shoe sizes. Additionally, the included hardware could have been more organized during packaging to ensure a smoother installation experience.
Overall, the X-FLOAT Clear Floating Sneaker Shelves are a great addition to any shoe enthusiast's collection, providing both a unique display and easy storage solution.

🔗Elegant Floating Shoe Shelves for Shoe Display


https://preview.redd.it/48r2cuzlei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=852f82da1e08e1549efb3f4899dd0e0dbe46fbd5
The STAHMFOVER 6-Pack Floating Shoe Shelves have brought an exciting twist to my shoe display. The clear floating shelves create the illusion of levitation, a feature I've never experienced before. What sets these shelves apart is their design. They sit flush against the wall, seamlessly blending with the shoes on display. This not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also ensures a stable foundation for the displayed shoes.
Each shelf has the capacity to hold two shoes, catering to all shoe sizes up to 14. This flexibility allows me to customize the display, showing off my collection in the best light possible. The installation process was simple, with the shelves coming equipped with all necessary hardware. The pre-drilled holes and included drywall anchors made the job a breeze, protecting the wall and reducing damage.
A significant highlight of these floating shoe shelves is their durability. The 1/4-inch thick acrylic material is sturdy and can easily carry up to 6 pounds of weight. I've come to rely on these shelves for showcasing my beloved sneakers, and I've been quite satisfied with the results. However, one drawback I've noticed is that the shelves are slightly prone to fingerprints. A quick wipe with a cloth usually solves the issue, but it's something worth mentioning. Overall, these clear floating shoe shelves are an excellent addition to any shoe lover's collection.

🔗Elevated Floating Shoe Display Set for 5 Pairs


https://preview.redd.it/00nkjaemei5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5890ae4a0f02a7d3d1197c7d2968123e2a109d05

I've placed the Forzacx Floating Shoe Display Set of 5 in various areas of my home, including bedrooms and hallways, and it has significantly improved the aesthetic of these spaces. It not only serves as a functional storage solution but also adds a touch of elegance to my decor.
However, I have noticed that the acrylic shelves may require occasional dusting to maintain their transparency and appearance. Additionally, the product's weight capacity might be a concern for those with larger collections, as the weight of the displayed shoes could cause the shelves to sag if not supported properly.
Overall, the Forzacx Floating Shoe Display Set of 5 is a practical and attractive solution to showcase and organize sneakers in your living space. Its ease of installation, versatility, and sturdy construction make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a stylish and functional storage solution.

As a mom, I'm always on the lookout for organizational solutions for my growing collection of sneakers.

Not only did they have space for six pairs of shoes, but they also offered a floating effect that made my shoes look like they were defying gravity.

However, I did notice that the product's structural integrity wasn't the sturdiest—my kids would sometimes bump into the shelves, causing them to sway precariously.

The open construction makes it easy to grab the shoes you need, and it's perfect for most shoe styles. However, I encountered an issue with a broken product, so I had to wait for a replacement.
Overall, the shoe display provides a stylish and practical storage solution.

Buyer's Guide

Floating shoe shelves provide an elegant and space-saving solution for storing footwear at home. As you consider purchasing these handy storage solutions, our guide will cover the essential features, considerations, and general advice to help you make the best decision.

When browsing for floating shoe shelves, pay attention to the materials used, such as wood, MDF, or metal. Wooden shelves tend to be more durable and versatile, but they may require more maintenance. Metal shelves can be lightweight, easy to install, and low-maintenance, but they might not have the same aesthetic appeal as wooden shelves.

Weight Capacity

Consider the weight capacity of the shelves before making a purchase. Make sure they can support the total weight of your footwear without sagging or breaking. Look for shelving units with reinforced frames or brackets to ensure stability and durability.

Installation and Maintenance

Some floating shoe shelves require assembly, while others may come pre-assembled. Make sure the shelving unit you choose is easy to install and doesn't require any drilling or mounting. As for maintenance, keep your shelves clean and dust-free, and periodically inspect them for any signs of wear and tear.

Space and Storage Considerations

Measure the space where you plan to install the shelves to ensure they fit perfectly. Also, consider the number and size of shoes you want to store and choose a shelf with appropriate dimensions. Finally, floating shoe shelves can double as a decorative feature, so don't be afraid to think outside the box in terms of placement and arrangement.

Quality and Brand Reputation

When choosing a floating shoe shelf, look for a reputable brand known for producing high-quality products. Check customer reviews and ratings to get an insight into the overall satisfaction of other buyers. A stable, durable, and well-designed shelf will provide you with a long-lasting and functional solution to your storage needs.

2024.06.09 10:47 Erindylyn Sharing my experience with two injured dogs.

Sharing my experience with two injured dogs.
TL;DR My dog tore her CCL and has 2 tumors, my bfs dog impaled himself and got a really contagious infection. I find out as I’m picking up my dog from surgery and cannot go home for ~10 days. One of her incisions opened while I was at work, and her second knee ruptured. All events happened over the span of ~9 weeks. (Please read for all info bc I know this sounds like we are horrendous dog-parents)
My pup Laika (black/brown/white dog, 6) ruptured her CCL, I took her to an emergency vet who told me it was a partial tear (no imaging recommended) and to follow up with her vet in 4 weeks. I limited her movement (per ER vets instruction) and went to the follow up 4 weeks later, imaging shows it is a full rupture and we schedule corrective surgery. I had to schedule the surgery two weeks out due to my work being inflexible, and the surgeon only works days that I work. I was even more strict with keeping her from moving unless necessary to avoid further injury and to avoid the opposite leg rupturing, as it already was showing signs of inflammation (following regular vets instructions). I also bought plenty of stuff to help out following surgery (enrichment toys, lick mats, orthopedic beds for the kennel and the bedroom, ice packs etc.)
The week before her surgery, my boyfriend‘s dog spike (9) tried to jump the fence at grandmas (where he lived as a farm dog) and he punctured his groin on the fence. He’s done this once before (years ago) so we decided spike should move in with us after that emergency surgery. He only lived apart because we wanted a fence for him first.
When I scheduled laikas surgery, we planned to take off two tumors as they were mass cell and we weren’t sure if they were aggressive. Surgery goes perfectly, she had the two mass cells removed as well as corrective CCL surgery and the vet called to let me know there was a partial tear in her second knee, but we could wait until her first knee was stable enough to go through the second surgery. My vet does not offer bilateral correction.
Since I work night shift, I dropped her off for surgery and then went home and took a nap. While I was sleeping my boyfriend took spike for a second surgery (different vet) because his cone was too short so he was able to get at his incision while we were sleeping and it reopened. While in surgery, his blood cultures came back positive for MRSP (similar to MRSA) And I found out as I was driving to pick up Laika. All I had was a towel and a leash… everything I bought to prepare for her aftercare was now contaminated and I also could not take her home. I took her to my moms and stayed there until spike was no longer contagious. I took her home after I completely bombed my house with every disinfectant I could find. Laika was doing amazing and was a week ahead of schedule in terms of mobility/healing but her elbow incision was problematic.
Laikas front elbow incision (tumor) opened from adjusting In the kennel while we were at work so they had staples put in. This delayed her physical therapy. Now we are 19 days post op so she was supposed to be using a water treadmill. They chose to put her on an incline treadmill since her incision can’t get wet. The physical therapist was aware of her condition and her other legs deteriorating status. After her physical therapy, I knew she would be sore and she was limping more after that session (yesterday). Now her second knee must have fully ruptured because she’s gone completely lame on that leg since her PT yesterday afternoon.
I am following instructions from an emergency vet that I called after I got off work tonight and called elsewhere for second opinion. I know it’s extremely common for the second CCL to rupture soon after the first, but I did everything I could to limit her movement and followed the post op care my vet gave me to prevent further injury to her second knee.
Spike is on the mend and should be cone free in a few more days. Laika on the other hand, is currently set up on an orthopedic bed in her kennel with food and water. I can post an update if people are interested once I get more information from my vet when they open on Monday.
I would like to add that I have anxiety and due to that I’m incredibly anal with any instructions I get from the vets so I know I followed everything to the letter and I review everything daily. I’m just thankful for the pet insurance I’ve been paying into for ~5 years (fetch) and that my boyfriend was financially prepared to pay for spikes surgeries since he hasn’t got insurance on him.
