Help, I’m Being Mauled by a Bobcat

This post is in: ,

Steve had a nice dinner of some canned mackerel and kibble that I warmed up and stirred together so he would not just eat the fish, and then he got a good brushing and is now so sound asleep on my shoulder he is drooling. Every so often in his sleep he reaches out with his paws and rests them on my chest, and he is snoring slightly in my ear.

It’s kind of our nightly routine. He comes in from outside, has dinner, I come downstairs from the home office and make his dinner and mine, and then we watch tv and surf the internet. Lily is on my lap, Thurston is on the ottoman on my feet, and Rosie is in her doggie bed. When I have called it a night and head upstairs for bed, usually by the time I have brushed and flossed, washed my face, and put on lotion, Steve, Lily, and Thurston are all in bed and Rosie is in the doggie bed in my bedroom.

It’s good to have routines.

    So beautiful. I had to put my 18 year old Maine Coon, Cybil, to sleep yesterday. She was suffering kidney failure among other ailments. I don’t know how I will get along without her she was my life, my baby. Cherish every moment you have with Steve, John. They are over way too soon.

    @Adrift: I am an old hand at losing a beloved critter and suffering the heartache. Please know I’m not diminishing yours in any way. Do yourself a favor and adopt a shy shelter cat, one that no one else notices, immediately. In the time it takes you to heal up, your shelter cat will learn to trust you. You think you won’t love again, but that’s not so important as teaching yourself to care for other creatures against your instincts. You will love again.

    I started reading Balloon Juice just before Rosie barged into John’s life. I remember how impossibly difficult she was and the debates about whether or not she should be allowed to stay. There was lots of agonizing about her.

    I have few OCD twitches, but one of them is that I have to say exactly the same things to Alice the Dog and Phoebe the Cat when I put them to bed: “Such a GOOD dog.

I would still see them out of the corner of my eye for days afterward, too; or so clearly in my mind’s eye that it seemed I should be able to reach into the memory and pull them out, back into the world and life.

    You gave Cybil an excellent life; I hope that knowledge gives you some comfort.

    MSNBC had a show tonight that was mostly about Gary Hart and his failed run for president once it was revealed that he was cheating on his wife. It was presented as a tragedy – this fine young man, who would have been a great president, brought down by changing morality. Like it was a new thing that a married man shouldn’t cheat on his wife and it was unfair to expect it.

    John Kennedy’s political career wouldn’t have got off the ground had he been a contemporary of Gary Hart, and I guess the same is true of his brothers. But given the Republican bias of American corporate news media, I wonder if they would have been as hard on a Republican man. As Omnes notes, George Herbert Walker Bush got a pass from them in 1988.

    @Gretchen:

    MSNBC had a show tonight that was mostly about Gary Hart and his failed run for president once it was revealed that he was cheating on his wife.

    I think that Hart was separated at the time. People I know who claimed to be plugged into Beltway gossip said that the press didn’t particularly like Hart. I also heard something similar from a couple of working reporters. And yeah, the press corps knew who were tomcats, drunks, etc, but Hart had a reputation for “notching his gun,” bragging about his conquests. So when he dared the press to follow him, they happily complied and easily nailed him. Stories and op-ed pieces emphasized his poor judgement and his failed campaign was not seen as a great loss.

    Or maybe I just ran with a cynical crowd. But this is what I recall.

    @Mnemosyne: In general, yes.

    I have to say that I am still skeptical that this identity is going to “stick”, as the kid has been trying on different personas/styles for a couple of years now. And he still wants to go with me to the nail salon and write in swirly script and bake cookies and all these other not-traditionally-male interests. One of the therapists at the IOP said that a lot of kids these days are exploring that, but end up being “just” gay or bi. Whatever. Really don’t care. I just want to see the child be stable over time.

  75. 75.

    Suzanne

    @Omnes Omnibus: This kid is anxious and has been since a very early age, and ADHD doesn’t help that. Gender issues are yet another factor. Ex-Mr.-Suzanne’s ugly divorce from his other ex-wife was also a huge problem. So it is multi-causal.

    @Adrift: So sorry for your loss. As I understand it, a Maine Coon is a bit like a cat and a dog all rolled into one magnificent creature.

    You gave Cybil a wonderful life, and I hope this gives you some comfort in the loss of her companionship. I miss my Golden Seamus every dog-gone day (now literally so, six years after his passing). I still get a bit weepy when I talk about him sometimes, and am so deeply grateful for the time that we had together.

    Mnemosyne

    @Suzanne:

    I am NOT AN EXPERT but IMO it’s worth trying, but you probably want to hold off on any irreversible medical steps (like hormone therapy) until he’s absolutely sure. From things I’ve read, there are also people who end up being happy in kind of a middle state without definitively choosing one or the other.

    But if it’s working right now and he’s happier and more comfortable, then it’s worth doing even if things change later on.

  81. 81.

    Suzanne

    @Mnemosyne: He hasn’t asked for hormones, but has mentioned wanting top surgery in the future. I wouldn’t be OK with it right now just due to this still being new, but if it seems to persist, then I’ll consider it.

    @Omnes Omnibus: There are many days I wish I didn’t have kids. I had many of them last year.

    @Suzanne:

    Also, weird thought — have you read Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel Fun Home or seen the play? She has some interesting stuff in there about gender display between herself as a lesbian and her (secretly) gay father. The play is amazing and slightly different in its effect since it’s a musical (!)

    You’ll probably want to read it before you leave it laying around for the Spawn since there’s some adult content, like her father’s probable suicide and her own sex life.

I suspect she will end up asexual and gender fluid–not that I care either way. I only want her to be healthy and stable. Right now we are struggling to get her depression and anxiety under control. School is suffering and it’s very hard to balance being understanding about her illness but also pushing her to try harder.

    @Mrs. D. Ranged in AZ:

    I have ADHD that was finally diagnosed when I was in my 40s, and a lesson I keep trying to learn is that when I have a whole list of tasks to do, I have to start with the easiest one on the list and then work upwards to the harder and/or more complicated ones.

    This has been a difficult lesson for me to try and learn because it’s the exact opposite of what the usual advice is, but it seems to work for me.

    Today’s example: I had a bunch of appointments I needed to make that I kept putting off. So this afternoon, I said, “Fuck it, I’m going to make the oil change appointment” because I could do it online and not have to talk to an actual person. And that was so easy that I called and made the eye appointment I’d been putting off, then the med check appointment with my psychiatrist, then the orthopedist appointment I don’t want to do because I probably have to have ACL surgery.

    Every organizing expert in the world tells me I should have done the hardest one first, but I literally can’t. It’s so anxiety-provoking that it causes a total block. But doing the easy one first actually worked.

    Okay, that was long, but I’m weirdly proud of myself for getting my list done today by doing the easiest thing first. ?

    @Mnemosyne:
    I have found B2 at Amazon and on ebay. Otherwise I get it through the VA. It’s only slightly cheaper on line than the VA so it’s not really an issue that way. And no, even if a B complex has B2 you have to take a lot more than it would have. The dosage I take and that is what the studies show as normal is 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the evening. The brand I’ve found easiest is Nature’s Blend and that’s also what the VA dispenses. The magnesium oxide is 400mg once a day. There are different magnesium compounds available, read the link I posted as it explains it best. Most of the studies I’ve seen used the magnesium oxide as it is reasonably available and doesn’t seem to cause intestinal distress like some of the other compounding.
    Once again it doesn’t work for every one or stop all migraines, I still get them but far, far fewer than I was a year ago. Then I was getting on average 5 or 6 per month, now I’m down to between none to 2 a month. And I get them for a seemingly variety of reasons as well, weather is one, I found that it’s the change in barometric pressure and humidity that causes those. But there are other causes not all of which are apparent.

    I couldn’t disagree more. When we saw it last year, it was magical and sad at the same time. I was crying so hard at the end that we were the last ones to leave the theater.

    @Mnemosyne:
    I know a lady something like that. She looks, acts and talks like a lady, I’ve been told she’s not gay, but the thought of having sex with a man is totally revolting to her. We are, all of us, on any given day, a mass of differing emotions and feelings. We try to fit into the patterns we were taught as kids for the gender we have the equipment for, but that doesn’t always match the inside feelings. Sometimes in any which way. It makes me feel much better as a human that many more people over the last few decades have become much more tolerant of whatever someone wants to consider themselves. I’ve known gay people, my sister for one after she came out, for almost my entire life and never could understand what the problem is with any of this. Why the hell do we have to fit into these prescribed niches that keep us from being who we feel we are?
    @Suzanne:
    I hope that spawn works out the issues. It can not be easy to change, especially in the face of opposition from different directions, some well intentioned and some not so much. I applaud you for just wanting a healthy child, no matter what the outcome of his/her decisions and that you recognize that they are his/her decisions. Good luck with all of this, every day.

    With my physical issues (and age) comes a startling discovery, my unflappable self confidence is easily flappable. The other day at work I was making some very delicate graphite parts and they came out not nearly good enough. I told my boss, we discussed the work and he helped me get going. I was standing there and realized that I have very little idea if I can now accomplish anything, like making stuff like I’ve done a thousand times before or walking along or going up or down stairs without falling. I can do them but now I have to watch every step to make sure I physically accomplish what I think I’m doing. It’s fucking tiring, having to work hard at life.

    @Mnemosyne:
    As I said, google and find the studies. If you are on meds I’d clarify with my docs that it’s OK first. Neither are issues alone but in combo with something else……. I now take 8 different drugs a day, including those 2 and all of them have been prescribed by VA docs and checked by the VA pharmacy, but even so I look up every med and check it against the others. At some point there are never enough checks against the wrong med. If they put me on the meds I’m expecting them to for the latest fun time, that’s another entire level and process all over again. At least I’m still not afraid to ask questions and demand answers.

    Tell me about it. Every single one of his friends identifies somewhere as gay, a-gender, genderfluid, pansexual, whatever. Not that I care, but it is statistically improbable, to say the least. It’s almost like it isn’t okay or cool or “deep” if someone’s just cisgender and straight.

    I really think that teenagers feel weird, as teenagers do, and because it is more socially acceptable to explore gender, more kids are doing so. Again, it doesn’t bother me, but I would need to see more stability over time before consenting to anything permanent.

    @Suzanne:

    You may not see this, but I had a totally random thought as I was falling asleep last night:

    I’ve always had big boobs, and I started getting them early on (around 5th grade). And as I’m pretty sure you know from personal experience, I had to deal with pretty scarring amounts of attention about them from boys my own age and older and even from creepy adult men.

    But I was at least straight. If I had been young and queer, having all of that attention paid to my boobs by the opposite sex would have been horrifying. And if it was socially allowed, being a boy for at least a while would seem a hell of a lot safer, because it would cut that attention off at the root.

    Again, not an expert, just thinking about my own past and personal experiences in the hope that they can help you and your Spawn.

    I can’t remember how old Spawn is — and I suspect he’s too old for this — but puberty blocking drugs might be something to consider if he asks to start hormones. They basically put things into a holding pattern, so there’s no permanent long-term effects.

    Whereas testosterone definitely does have permanent effects that persist even if you stop taking it. Specifically, once the voice drops and eyebrow ridges develop, that can’t be undone. Not sure about facial hair, but I can tell you from personal experience that removing it is a huge hassle (and painful).

    I agree kids these days are experimenting with gender in ways i never could when I was Spawn’s age, so he could end up identifying differently, although hopefully happy in his own skin. That said, there’s also more gender role flexibility among the youngs, so that may be one reason he’s still interested in “girly” things. Especially if he’s attracted to boys, he may be developing the identity of a femmy gay man — would wouldn’t be the first trans guy I’ve know who identified that way.

    As Mnemonsyne mentioned, developing boobs can be really horrifying if he’s identifying as a man, according to my trans men friends. (I had equivalent feeling about some of the masculinizibg changes.) But I also know a number gender queer-identifying people as well who really hate having breasts, since they’re a strong gende marker. Obviously, it’s appropriate to wait on top surgery for the moment, but he may need some extra care and sympathy in this point.

  125. 125.
