She has really been failing this last year. But before that, she was pretty amazing. She was in a facility in the "independent living" section.

I have scoliosis too but not sciatica. It's related to my lumbar stenosis, something I will discuss with the pain management doctor next wk. A friend of mine is also having ITB issues, but her doc isn't helpful. Her mom is abt to turn 101! Talk abt living too long.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

In my case there’s a family history of osteoarthritis. I am lucky that I don’t have it in my hands like my mom did.

Yeah, but it's so frustrating! I see my pain management doctor next week. I don't know if he will want another MRI. My last one for my back was a year ago. I'll just keep using heat.

🤭

I’m sorry that your back is so bad. I can relate. I hope your epidural is scheduled quickly. I hate the whole consult & then separate appointment for treatment. I tell myself that I’m lucky I just have arthritis and stenosis. But I spend a lot of time using heating pads.

Hi! I hope you're well. We are doing well, thank you for asking. 4 months since Robby's last stress cystitis. The pheromone dispensers are clearly working, which is a huge relief. How's your back these days?

At mealtime, caregivers sometimes give a few carrots first—like Rana receives here—to encourage her to stay in one spot while the rest of her food is placed safely down the fence line. Each elephant’s feeding routine is customized. Read more: https://ow.ly/jQO950YqpiI

When the sun comes out, it can really heat up! When it's hot and dry, the girls will frequently visit the pond, spray themselves with mud, and relax in the shade. Having a natural environment allows them to care for their own comfort however they choose.

We have a wildlife rehabilitation and release program at the sanctuary and we take in a variety of animals like hawks, tapir, anteater, and deer. Read more here: globalelephants.org/our-wildlife-rehab-relea...

A snack and a friend make the day perfect.

As Rana makes her way down the path with a large trunkful of hay, Mara follows after her. She's never far behind.

Maia has so much hair, and sometimes it sticks straight up! 😂

For this week’s EleFact, we’ll look at the reasons why elephant riding is harmful–and how people are changing their tunes about the practice. Read more: globalelephants.org/elefact-friday-bearing-t...

After decades in the circus, Maia was moved to the sanctuary and began a new life. She began to make her own choices and her confidence grew as she discovered she had control over her own life. Now she lives each day exactly how she chooses.

Maia and Bambi passed the day with naps in the shade. 😴

How sweet! Soon after I put a dispenser in my bedroom Robby started sleeping next to me. He waits until I stop moving around. Sometimes he cuddles up to me & ends up on top of my arms.

Now that's a big cat! I can't imagine having a cat that big. Louie is the biggest cat that I've ever had. I weighed him today and he's now 13.13 lbs and still not chunky. He's very long and has long legs. And very smart. I'm so glad he's getting along better w/Robby- finally.

I always knew that Louie had some very large ancestors b/c he's 13.6 lbs and not at all chunky. In his case, 12% Siberian, 11.4% American shorthair, 8.6% Ragdoll, & 5.7% Main Coon. He looks & acts nothing like them. But he has a cute squeaky meow, nothing like a Siamese meow.

I try. Louie has been a bit much 4 Robby lately so I ended up getting pheromone dispensers to calm Louie down. It's been surprisingly helpful for Robby as well. I bought a DNA test 4 Louie to check his health given his history. It came back clean but turns out he is mixed w/lg cats just as I thought

That's so good to hear! Mentally I think most of us are suffering.

I’m well. How are you doing? I remember the sketches. They were excellent!

Goat milk is easier to digest than cow’s milk. He hasn’t had diarrhea from it. And he’s the one with the sensitive stomach so I’ve kept a close eye on the litter box.

Hi! Louie is obsessed with goat milk. I bought it on the vet’s rec to try to get Robby to drink more water. It mostly works if Robby sees Louie drinking. My cats are weird.

I'm well, thanks for asking. How are you doing?

"She sustained a torn rotator cuff, concussion and bruised ribs during the incident and received medical treatment at a hospital..."
