Dear All

I'm AWOL, sorry.

Virus made me quite ill + dealing with the DWP = also really ill.

My head is a mess, my stomach is a mess, I keep melting down & dissociating. I'm generally in no fit state to be awake.

Normal rat service will resume when things/I are stable again.

Meanwhile; Tyr.

My little Boo is making a comeback.

Her PT meds have kicked in and she's feeling SO MUCH BETTER!

She's eating well and using her hands again 😊

She's on quite the cocktail of meds now!

A little agouti girly rat called Boo sits in a purple hammock. She's holding and munching on a piece of Rich Tea biscuit. Boo's cocktail of meds; an antibiotic (Baytril), an ACE inhibitor and Furosemide for pre-existing congestive heart failure, and a steroid and cabergoline for the PT.

uk.news.yahoo.com/disability-b... Oh dear. The Court found the Government(s) here misled us about why they were 'reforming' disability benefits.
It wasn't to encourage better quality of life for disabled people. It was to save the Government money.
Lots of money.
By forcing ppl into poverty?

Whilst these of course are meant as satire, goodness me there's some truth in them.
Glad to be part of so many teams who are working hard to change this.

Shoutout to my fellow autistics who cannot wear headphones because hypersensitivity to touch means you can't tolerate them or anything else being on your head!

I see you. I also hear you 😉

Best friends Berry and Fizzgig ❤️

They like to do everything together so they will both be going to the Vet next week even though it's only Fizzy who needs an appointment (he seems to be having what I suspect is a thyroid issue).
