Felix

Karen took Felix from Cascadia to OHS Friday.

He was adopted immediately.  I knew he would be, he's such a love.

I've got to now go check out a stray in an apartment complex for Karen's next "save" project.

We don't have any options here for strays, so its quite wonderful to get them up there where they will get homes.

Allegedly this little stray had kittens, probably under the building, but nobody found them.  Some man put her in his place as a kindness while it was pouring rain, for two days, not knowing she'd just had kittens, and that's probably when they died.  Anyhow, she no longer has milk and wanders around crying the woman said who called.   She'll get pregnant again if I don't go get her and hopefully she'll be plenty tame enough to get a good home.

Like Felix did.

And by the way, here's Ozzie, from the park, now waiting on a home at Heartland Humane.

Animal ID 43908902  Species Rabbit  Breed Hotot/Rabbit  Age Gender Male  Size Small  Color White/Black  Declawed No  Housetrained Unknown  Site Heartland Humane Society  Location "Ahare Village"  Intake Date 2/26/2020

I don't have my usual reservations today.  The clinic is closed.   I still have one male to take to be fixed from the Albany household that had seven unfixed cats.   The big male still left at the Egg Place.  One more male at the Waterloo residential place.  One at the Cascadia camp where Felix came from and then another around the corner somewhere, whom I'll have to track down and catch.  But getting those two Cascadia boys done means an entire road has no unfixed cats there which would feel good to have done.

I had a mammogram early last week.  Usually my doctors office calls to let me know results like the same day.  Or the next.  Nothing though this year.  No letter from the mammogram place, no call from doctors office.  I don't know whether to worry or just think its more disorganization.  Usually if something looks bad they call you right back in, so I don't feel that worried over it.

I've had many friends with breast cancer, some struggling now with it.  It's an ugly awful disease that strikes far too many women, some now very young at diagnosis.

I guess I should update on my elbow.  I did drain out the fluid again, after two weeks of wrapping it tight. Actually I used a very small sock.  I cut off the toe of the sock and pulled it up over my elbow.  It was very tight and did a good job.  I also used both hydrocortizone ointment and aspercreme on it.  Then I finally drained it and afterwards wrapped it extremely tight with an ace bandage, so that the fluid would have great difficulty accumulating against that force.  And that worked and it didn't come back.  My elbow is slightly enlarged though, the bone part and I wonder if I had chipped a bone or something but I'll never know and just hope its ok.

It has been such a relief to be free of that bad tooth.  It is very difficult to chew anything now, having so few teeth that chew left on either upper side and the hole where the molar was still being sore on the one side.  But I get that partial denture in another ten days then I can chew again.  I'm excited!
