WHOO I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I updated my journal on here. I’m far more active on Twitter - I recommend following me there.
I hope everyone is having wonderful holidays, regardless of which ones you celebrate. For those of you having to deal with family that isn’t accepting of you, I hope you’re able to hang in there and get through it without too much trouble.
I have a job now - I’m a manager at a pet store not too far from home (about 30 miles). The work is exhausting physically but I’m getting through it.
My tumor scare worked out okay and I’m still good in that department. Mostly as healed as I’m going to be but waiting for some nerve damage to repair. I have developed an issue in my left foot - they had a diagnosis for it and I underwent a procedure to correct it. A month in and it’s hurting as much as ever. They WERE able to do a procedure for my heel spurs while I was under and they seem to be doing loads better, so that’s good at least!
Despite being vaccinated, my coworkers did manage to give me COVID back in September (both of them are not vaccinated). It was a heck of a big for a couple of weeks but other than some sense of taste and smell still weird and some hearing loss, I seem to have gotten through it with some good luck.
Monkey the ferret is doing great, all things considered. He developed a cataract out of the blue but doesn’t seem to be developing any of the potentially dangerous other symptoms. He healed up just fine from his surgery; the vet adores him!
Chonk the ferret has defied the odds. There is so little information about osteosarcoma in various pets. There’s none on ferrets and so we had to go off dog data. Dog data says even with surgery he wasn't likely to make it past a couple months. We are well past a year and his surgery incision healed up well. He’s getting around pretty well, all things considered.
Their sister Pocky is fine, and even was able to be a blood donor for a young sick ferret, and save her life!
Tani is holding up far better than we expected. She was a candidate and got the i131 treatment. It fixed her thyroid fantastically. However, her kidneys tanked and she’s been in stage 3-4 kidney failure since then. Even the vet is surprised how long she’s hung in there and how well she’s doing.
Sadly Chessie hasn’t done as well with COVID and all. While it’s been bad, I’ve been scared to bring her out as my service animal because I don’t want her to carry it home to any of us or to our ferrets (they have determined ferrets can catch it). This has gotten her sorely out of practice working as well as out of shape a fair bit. She’s having a hard time coping well when out and about, and getting tired rather quickly (she -is- a senior now at 7yrs old). On top of that, one of her paws is giving her a hard time and causing her a fair bit of pain. We are working with the vet to try to manage the pain as best we can and hope she’s able to heal somewhat. It sadly means she’s likely going to be retired, if so she won’t be out and about like she has been in the past. Only time will tell.
