After 6 long weeks of very intense care and medication, Bloo has been declared fit and healthy(ish). His eye ulcer has healed up completely. Keeping him on just the serum for a few days to make sure anything microscopic has healed up, but after that it's business as usual!

It’s Bloos gotcha day!
As we’ve had 9 years with him, here’s 9 of my favourite photos. 1/3

Sewed another bandana for Bloo out of some Halloween fat quarters I got on sale this weekend.

Eye patch is drawn on to save you the horror that is the bad eye.

Cat needed space upstairs for his litterbox so I wasn’t constantly having to avoid tripping over it.
So he got the guest room that’s very rarely used as a guest room. It’s now the cat room and he hasn’t left since I put him in there 2 hours ago.

Leena, have you even read the documentation? It makes it very clear on page 235 (footnotes) that NORMAL_PERSON is unecessary (I thought we all agreed on this back in the 90s)

This forum is for professionals, please check documentation before posting. You’ll learn a lot and save me a lot of time

I have a cold from running myself into the ground trying to keep up with everything along side caring for Bloo.
He feels better now and has decided to care for me by trying to bully me into going back to bed.

I’m over the moon with him at the moment, he’s been so strong. Though I do wonder if the routine we have built is going to stick. There is a chance I need to flip him onto his back and fuss him before meals for the rest of our time with him.

I’m still giving him various medications in his eye which totals to 7 medication times a day, but if it’s working I don’t mind. He’s been extra good and brave at the vet, and since he was calm today I asked his vet if she wanted a cuddle. She agreed and she’s even more besotted with him now.

This week with his regular vet, even my untrained eye can see how much smaller the ulcer has gotten! His eye is draining properly too, and all the swelling has died down.

Good boy appreciation post!!!
After 4 looooong weeks, he’s finally upped his game and started healing his eye ulcer!!
We saw the ophthalmologist last week and she said it was starting to heal but she was disappointed by the progress. ——

He’s okay and he’ll pull through this, it’s just gonna take time and a lot of serum from other animals blood - which is insanely metal of him.

My favourite thing is watching vets sneak cuddles with him. He growled all through his ophthalmologist appointment but she still said he was very mild mannered since he didn’t go for her once, just made it clear he was unhappy with his vocalisations.

Currently basically trapped from getting into anything deeply bc I have to give the cat 3 different eye drops 6 times a day and also give his eye an iodine rinse once a day.

Very tiring. Back to the vet on Friday for the 4th time in a little over 2 weeks to check progress with the new meds. 🥲

Had a screen break evening and hand stitched a bandana for Bloo.
I haven’t sewn outside of basic repairs in over a decade so I’m pretty chuffed with it!

Oh to be a cat napping on a desk

Started FFXIV as a Dragoon this time, made the switch to Reaper as soon as I could.

Bc it's goth and also they have their own theme tune. :)

The endless quest.

Plush of the rat man himself plus the rat man tattoo.

I adore dark souls for the lore and the art, but I am fucking shit at soulslikes. 😂
But aside from that the market is already insaaaanely saturated for these games.

I would like to make an appeal to stop every single action game being a souls-like.

LOL

Today in D&D - Dehu has been insanely useful.
Using Wall of Light to shield a beacon from corruption to enable a dragon to be ressurected.
Banishing a Deva who had come to be a bit of a pain in the arse to send him out of Barovia bc I didn't want to deal with his nonsense.

He’s so cute.

Got some overdue medical stuff done so I’m rewarding myself with another (small) tattoo on Thursday.
