Dear All

I'm AWOL, sorry.

Virus made me quite ill + dealing with the DWP = also really ill.

My head is a mess, my stomach is a mess, I keep melting down & dissociating. I'm generally in no fit state to be awake.

Normal rat service will resume when things/I are stable again.

Meanwhile; Tyr.

My little Boo is making a comeback.

Her PT meds have kicked in and she's feeling SO MUCH BETTER!

She's eating well and using her hands again 😊

She's on quite the cocktail of meds now!

uk.news.yahoo.com/disability-b... Oh dear. The Court found the Government(s) here misled us about why they were 'reforming' disability benefits.
It wasn't to encourage better quality of life for disabled people. It was to save the Government money.
Lots of money.
By forcing ppl into poverty?
DWP urged to scrap disability benefit reforms after High Court rules consultation 'unlawful'
The DWP's consultation on disability and benefits is β€œmisleading and unfair”

That's something I guess. If only they could actually change and get better though! (plus do the very basics of the providing decent safe homes job, obviously.)

This is horrific too! I'm so sorry your family members are being put through such a prolonged mess.

I too am sorry to hear this is still going on. The level of incompetence is horrific!

I've always believed that small pets are entitled to the same level of care as any other pet & I was lucky enough to find a Vet with a special interest in small furries when I started out (in 1998).

Rat Vet care has come a long way since then; I like to think we've played a part in that.
