Doper Updates to previous threads (C3 Especially)

We haven’t had one of these threads in a while, so I thought I would open a new one. I was wondering how C3 is doing after posting this thread. Are you ok, C3? I see you have been posting, so you’re alive at least. :slight_smile: Was it just an infection?

If anyone else is curious about a follow-up, feel free to use this thread, too.

I was wondering how Torie’s gall bladder is doing.

I had mine brutally, I mean surgically removed 2 months ago. It’s been awful.

Another doper was having his/her gall bladder removed. How is that going? Sorry I forgot your name.

I’m ready to start a support group.

I’d like to know whatever came of Katie1341’s complaint she was going to file with the police department.
Did you file it? Did the cop get reprimanded? Did you learn anything more about the incident?

I would like to know if tdn ever sorted out his biscuit problem. I started a thread in Cafe Society a few weeks ago asking for an update, but I guess he didn’t see it.

I’d also like to know what name the poster who asked for bakery name suggestions selected.

i’d like a gracie the cat update.

I want to know what book(s) Shibb got for his daughter for Christmas.

Thanks for asking, Thinks2Much, but you’re probably going to think I’m an idiot. I ended up not going to the doctor, so I don’t really know what was going on there. The reason I didn’t go is that the afternoon before my appointment, I threw my back out getting my baby out of his bath. I literally could not move and laid there on the floor as my naked son proceeded to get my toothbrush off the sink and use it to swoosh the water in the toilet around. Then he peed - on the floor. Not one of my best days. I laid there and cried until I managed to crawl out, cajoling my son to follow, got a diaper on him, and laid on the couch until my husband got home. So, since I was still unable to walk the next day, I cancelled the appointment, fully meaning to call and reschedule.

A couple days later, my period came. It was very, very heavy and accompanied by really bad cramps (which I usually don’t have), so I suspect that I had an early miscarriage. Compounding that suspicion is the fact that I got my period again 1 1/2 weeks later, at my normally scheduled time of the month. That was normal and I think everything’s fine. My husband and I are, after a very unpleasant December, back in the saddle (so to speak) on the baby-making front.

My son is scheduled to get his 18 month vaccinations in a couple weeks, so I’m going to mention my adventures to our doctor (we have the same GP) and see if she thinks a more investigative approach should be taken.

Anyway, that’s about it. It was very bizarre seeing my name in a thread title! It’s weird - I sometimes forget that I’m not just typing into a vacuum and that there are actual real, live people reading it.

I want to hear about the lady whose cat was in the dryer, last I heard he was kinda dizzy, but okay, I want a follow up!

BluMoon: I believe you’re thinking of bodypoet. And yes, I remember most of these threads and am very curious as well!

I’m wondering how HelenTroy is doing after leaving her heartless husband. I did a search but came up with no updates.

Bounce is alive and well. He’s a little loopy–he occasionally falls over or bumps into things if he runs about at high speed–but I’m not sure if that’s from brain damage or if he’s just no Einstein. He is smart enough to stay out of the dryer, though. (And I am still sufficiently traumatized that I can’t put a pair of wet shoes in there, because it makes me sick to my stomach to hear them thumping around.)
He’s also quite small, as are the other two kittens from that litter. They’re little miniature cats. My son insists that they’re mutants, but I think they’re adorable, especially compared to our two older male cats who are absolutely huge in comparison. Their momma is small (fluffy, but small under all that hair), so I think they’ve inherited their stature.
I periodically remind Bounce how lucky he was that the Doper community is comprised of so many cat-lovers. :slight_smile:

I’m wondering what ever happened with the shy but sweet guy that was courting our calm kiwi.
