So cool. Where do you find a hedge hog? How are they around kids? Silly questions but I'm intrigued.

I don't care for pit bulls. There is way to many of them and they aren't that great looking. I am a corgi fan :)

Not great looking? My pit mix got Connecticut's top dog and in a separate contest won most handsome in my town. Sorry I have no kids to brag about. lol. And there's so many of them because we need to educate about spaying and nuetering and adopt don't shop

Does she bite?

We got her because my daughter really wanted a pet and she is allergic to everything. Hedgehogs have hair on their bellies (not fur, big diff!), but they are mostly quills. We got her from a breeder when she was about 6 weeks old.

Hedgehogs are nocturnal, and they do not like people very much, so she is not a lot of fun. They all have different personalities and she is a snuggler, so we got lucky. She likes body heat and will snuggle down in her sleep sack in your lap and snooze the time away. She will bite if aggravated, but really, her quills are worse.

I wouldn't recommend one for a child unless they are VERY mature, and very patient. There is a lot of equipment involved, and they need a constant source of heat, so there is a safety issue involved. Plus, no one really wants to babysit her because they are afraid, so she goes on vacation with us most of the time. Fortunately, we have a house at the beach, so it's not a big deal.

We love her, but I wouldn't get another. She loves my daughter best and that's just fine with me! She is VERY cute to look at, though. That's the best part.

I am pretty sure i have mentioned it plenty of times..how this went about was all wrong' date=' how they posted a picture of him was wrong, how everyone started to judge without knowing the facts was wrong..how you decided to get personally involved was wrong...what rights did you have to speak to Dr. Garcia about Dr. Luna, who are you to pass judgement without hearing his story..the one sided stories are always exaggerated..what authority did you have to come on here and say Dr. Luna was let go.

Its upsetting and i hope that she didn't make anything up..[/quote']

I'm going to say that as far as the op goes? Do I like the way she went about it? No. Do I care for her as a person? Not really. She is not a friend of mine at all.

But the fact remains that some inappropriate things happened and they are not hearsay or idle gossip. Dr. Garcia choose not to ignore it anymore. It has nothing to do with me at all!

I do not have that kind of pull with him.

He went by facts.

Wait, didn't you just reword the same old tired "groupie-in crowd" thing you wrote on the other thread? Come on now, you can do better than that.

Silly me, I thought the "wanna be cool kids" smoked a joint to fit in. Times have changed.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
