I've tried to upload a few sweet animated images of Arwen to my profile. I've not managed to give them all descriptive texts, but I'm working on it.
She's passed away a little over 9 weeks ago. I miss her like crazy... Went on a walk this morning, walked a little further to see how it would go, and I felt so lonely... I played a game to distract myself a little.
I've used this account a lot to boost my own FediVerse posts/toots, but also toots from Friendos and friends of my Friendos π. I've not been keeping up with all the other things that Friendica can do, so maybe now, I can slowly find out? π
Have a good day/time everyone!

Zogenaamd "onnodige medische zorg wordt geschrapt.
Tia of beroerte? Geen ECG meer.
Eierstokkenkanker? Nog maar 6 controles na behandeling in plaats van 15.
Echt, fuck dit paracetamolletjes land.
Een enorm aantal medische richtlijnen wordt komend jaar herzien. Ze zijn onderdeel van het Less is more-traject, waarbij artsen op een "verantwoorde manier" stoppen met zorg die minder effectief lijkt, legt een woordvoerder van de Federatie Medisch Specialisten (FMS) uit.
Normaal gesproken wordt eerst gewacht met het stoppen van zorg tot de verminderde effectiviteit ervan daadwerkelijk is aangetoond. Maar in dit traject wordt eerst gestopt met zorg en later geΓ«valueerd of dat de juiste beslissing was.
Dat noemt de Federatie Medisch Specialisten dus "verantwoord". Maar dat is het dus niet, het wordt letterlijk op geen enkele manier verantwoord.

Often I boost friends, friends of friends, and my own social bits from the Fedi.
I struggle with replying to toots, though sometimes I do try... I am always afraid I misunderstood things or I will write the wrong reply (as it's happened before and gotten messy a few times).
Today, it's been exactly two months since I had to say goodbye to Arwen. When I saw the moon while driving to the gym, I had to sob a bit, as it reminded me of the night time SniffiVerse walkies with my gall... π’
Hope you're all having a good day! π€ π
