jewel21 October 2, 2021 Share October 2, 2021 Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. The CT scan was fine. They didn't have to use contrast and while it was a bit nerve-wracking for me being claustrophobic and all, I managed to survive. They said my doctor should get the results in 2-3 weeks. I have an appt with my optometrist on Tuesday because I got a new prescription (I now apparently need to start wearing glasses for reading) and there's something off with the right eye so we have to get it resolved. And a routine blood test on Friday and then I hope I will be done with all these stupid appointments. Hopefully it's nothing more serious than migraines with halos. I would have written sooner but it's been along week and I'm behind on all my forums. Thanks for your concern, I hope you're all doing well :) 9 Link to comment

Bob reflected on his career. “It has been extremely fulfilling to see my photos used in BLM, across the Department, and non-profits and getting to showcase the beauty of public lands and the resources we see,” he said. “When you see things on paper in words, it’s one thing, but when you see the image of the lands that you’re affecting with that resource decision, it’s a more powerful way to communicate the message. I like bringing joy to people with photos. A lot of people are armchair travelers and can’t go to remote places, but they get the satisfaction of seeing the beauty through my photos. I’m always happy to be able to share that beauty. I also think that images help build pride among employees as reminders of the vast and irreplaceable places that BLM manages.” Bob Wick's further adventures on Instagram.

jewel21 October 23, 2021 Share October 23, 2021 Just checking in, I hope everyone is well! I haven't gotten any test results back yet so I'm guessing that is good news. Or the hospital is just behind, heh. Steve vomited last Friday and I brought him to the vet yesterday. A small fortune later, it appears he has an infection and requires three weeks of antibiotics. He also has a dislocated nail (twisted/crooked) but nothing can be done for that. He did gain some weight (82 grams so not caught up to his highest weight yet, which was 87 grams, but hopefully soon) and his vet said physically he appears stronger and in better condition since the last time he saw him in June. Let's hope Steve keeps it up, my little lemon of a bird. How is everyone else fairing? 9 Link to comment
