Gypsy’s 40 Gallon Breeder. Ugh.

[Hunter1]

And staying late at work 1-2 times a week to do water changes in that tank.

 

[Gypsy13]

I enjoy doing for my finnies too. I’m having a time with plants though. Hopefully. Hopefully this is the last time they get moved.

And when SirI cooperates, I type as fast as I speak. Lol.

 

[J.Ho]

That suuuucks.

 

[Gypsy13]

That suuuucks.

What sucks more is having a tissue biopsy taken for culture. If it turns out to be m.marinum I’ll post pics and horror stories. I can tell you what I’ve got is beyond painful. I can also tell you to be careful with your tanks. And don’t splash the water onto your faces people! Nothing good comes from splashing aquarium water all over yourself! I can’t help it. Cause I can’t see what I’m doing.

Oh no. You've got me all kinds of worried about you now. I read some about it here a while back, and it made me a little afraid to even reach in my tanks again. Please keep us posted, and I'm certainly hoping it's NOT that.

Oh, , Gypsy! I hope it comes back negative!

 

[Gypsy13]

Oh, , Gypsy! I hope it comes back negative!

It did. Just plain old everyday lupus staph aureus. Still hurts though. But hubby can’t get “rid” of my finbabies! As if he could.

 

[JLeeM]

Glad it's not TB Gypsy. Wish you weren't going through what it is either, but still glad.

Oh no you're sick?! These are the things that make me paranoid, I freak out a little inside every time the tiniest drop gets on my face! Are you going to be alright?

I'm so thankful it came back negative!!! I hope they can give you something to ease your pain.

Oh, wait, okay, for some reason I was started further up fro. This, but...what is it Lupus or staph??? The two are pretty different (although your more in danger of getting the latter due to the former, and I think there also have been links recently formed for the other way around, but...)

Thank you! My fishies are safe. All I needed.

Y’all really need to have SirI or google read your posts sometimes. This one I think totally messed with Siri’s head!
Yes. I get frequent staph infections due to the lupus. Hubby just hears everything I post cause I’ve got to speak to type. So he’s telling the doc lol about my fish Tb tank. Couldn’t keep quiet. But, it’s ok. Staph is painful. I go into automatic sterile mode cause dog is very old, fish already have problems, cat has chronic URI. Oh. Hubby has the whole heart thing. Open heart surgery, recently had stents put in. You know. Stuff. So won’t take chances with my loved ones.

Lol, sorry I'd it was a bit round about. XD

Ah ok, that's what I thought. Good luck and remember to take care of yourself, too! I know Lupus is hard, I have a close personal family friend who is like an aunt to me who has dealt with Lupus for a long time. Our families have grown up together because her kids all match mine and my siblings various ages. So, we're all well versed with that. Then I have first hand experience with an autoimmune disorder that I've dealt with my whole life (heck, a dumb doctor once tried to say I had lupus (based on a reddening of the face I developed I think because of prednisone (we never really figured that one out and it never did it again, it was just something I had to live with for a while (a terrible summer)), but it "wasn't a big deal", lupus? Not a big deal??? Some doctor!). Both Lupus and UC (that's what I "had" (now when it flares up it's called pouchitis, because I lost the offending organ after years of battling the disease throughout the latter half of my childhood) are now getting more attention, I've noticed, but it's still something I think more people should be educated about.

God bless your family, you have a lot going on there (full houses rarely remain tranquil and chaos theory rains, that sounds like the typical three-ringed circus xD; ), again, remember to take care of yourself, too! That's important!

 

[Gypsy13]

I love that! And yes chaos theory reigns supreme here!

Thank you for being so kind. Helps a lot when the darkness threatens.

 

[J.Ho]

I am glad you are alright! Yikes! I don't know what I'd have done!

You would continue to be your strong helpful self. You just can’t help it.
