Hiya @hollydolly I haven't been going so well lately
I've been battling a nasty golden staph infection in my lower right leg
We rehomed a 2 year old deaf Pomeranian Domino who had been mistreated in his early days
He got on well with my husband who basically would get along with Godzilla I reckon
However the dog changed and it was as though something snapped in his brain
He took a major dislike to everything I did and I could not move at all without Domino being aggressive
This went on for a long time quite probably too long because one night he sunk his teeth into my lower right leg
I did not think much of it at the time but huz took him to the local Vet to be euthanised because you cannot in all
good conscience even give the dog to anyone else
Huz explained what happened and the Vet said we were doing the right thing because he 'was an accident waiting to happen'
I would never have forgiven myself if he had savaged a child or someone disabled...don't even want to think about that
We lasted about 2 weeks without a dog and then we got ourselves a gorgeous male Lhasa Apso pup
This was 4 months ago and my leg had deteriorated until I could not look after it any more so off to our Doc
2 courses of antibiotics later and many dressing changes by the nurse at the Doctor's rooms
I am back to managing it myself before I call in a district nurse who can do home visits
The wound was very soggy and more of the leg was involved so I requested to manage it myself at home
Lo and behold after a week it has started to dry out and look more like my leg
So I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will eventually come good
I do look in from time to time but with my sore leg sitting in front of the computer can be painful
I am feeling better today and thank you for your concern 🤗

It is very good to hear from you, despite being very sorry for the difficult ordeal. We will all be thinking of you, I am sure, and hoping you will start recovering more quickly, and be able to join us more often, at some point again. Take extra good care, and I hope you enjoy the puppy, too.
 
I ran across this thread and see that Aunt Bea hasn’t posted for awhile. It’s too bad that no one knows her real name and city where she resides. Anyone can be found, but it helps to have some personal information. I thought she was very insightful with her posts.

I told her that once, I think she was very taken aback... :D

I suppose @Matrix has an email but I can understand if he can't use it for this purpose? A Wellness Check?

If someone starts a conversation with her, she will receive a notification email.

Please note that this doesn't work with everyone, some emails can't be reached by our forum, or some accounts were configured not to receive emails, but I checked her email and account settings, she will get an email.
 
I wrote a pm to Aunt Bea. I was blocked from sending it. Maybe it's just me, maybe she has me on ignore. Please, everyone, try to PM Aunt Bea. Maybe a relative will see the email and will get the hint that we all miss her and will contact us. I've done all I can, I guess. If she personally blocked me, I don't mind. I continue to be concerned and miss her wonderful posts.
 
I was just reading Aunt Bea's last posting that I recall on Sept. 9th. It was under the heading of We Need To Re-Think The Concept Of College. The comments became somewhat contentious between Aunt Bea and a couple of other posters. She seemed annoyed and apologized for offering an opinion, saying that it wouldn't happen again.

Perhaps, she's taking some time off from posting as I can see why she was somewhat annoyed.

I also did the same, and came to the same conclusion. Hope she comes back soon! Miss her!
 
Re @Aunt Bea

Economists have "Gresham's Law", which states that "bad money drives out good money". I found that, too often, the same applies to many social sites, where "bad posters drive out good posters". Shall we call it Aunt Bea's Law?
