I’ve been sitting on this for a while whilst things progressed.
I’ve been having some weird chest heaviness with pins and needles down my left arm, so I went to see the office’s on-site GP (we have a private GP who visits the office once a week). My employer pays for this.
She referred me to a cardiologist, so I went and booked that. A few weeks later, I had the appointment. The cardiologist decided to send me for some tests, as he, in his own words felt “I was worth investigating further”
He booked me in for:
- Blood Tests
- Echocardiogram
- Cardiac Stress Test
- CT
They didn’t find the reason for my symptoms, but did find I had a myocardial bridge where the heart muscle goes over an artery instead of under it, causing it to compress the artery. In my case, it was more a pinch rather than full cover-over but that wouldn’t explain the symptoms I was having.
All in all the symptoms have faded without any action from myself or the doc but we’ll keep an eye on it.
Doc wants me to come back in a year and they’ll re-scan to see if the bridge is any worse.
And since this was under private, not state healthcare, this costs. I have insurance through my employer, but still, it was a hefty amount.
Consult, £175.68 Blood Test, £406.51 Echo Cardiogram + Cardiac Stress Test, £876.11 CT Scan, £536 Consult, £115
Total: £2109.30
So if I’d did all of this out of my own pocket, I’d be £2K+ out of pocket with no answers to my problems
I had no idea of the history of Senbonzakura song. I love it even more now
So Google Gemini now allows you to generate AI pictures. Great, just what we needed, more AI-generated, s**t…. 😩
Furry Jobs?
Have a chuckle at this, I got this in the emails today. I know it’s junk but it made me think. What if there was really a website tailed for furry jobs.
The Furry Wives of Windsor
Wonder what Shakespeare would have thought if he knew furries were being used with his work
I hope he’d approve.
Offering to Stolas
Final set of con pics.
“Oh, you have given me an offering. Oh it’s a gift? Of me? Does he look like me?” 🥰
Mini Fan
With the heat coming back to the UK this week, it was the absolute worst time for my portable hand-held fan to snap on me, so I ended buying a new one off Amazon, and this mini fan too. Will work well for my cosplaying and fursuiting.
Getting near the end of my collection of MCM ComicCon pictures so I’ve saved the best of (nearly) the last.
Stolas was an absolute storm at the convention and I was so happy with his reception and by far one of my most memorable moments was seeing the reactions of the fans. Here’s a few pics from @helluvaorcas122 [IG]
I absolutely LOVED the mini Stolas 😍
It got so hot here, that someone elderly was found passed out, face down in the middle of the ticket hall of a major train station in Central London.
They put out a call for any doctors or nurses in the station soon after.
Stolas Close-ups + Stickers
Getting near the end of my selection of MCM ComicCon pics to post, so here is a few close-ups of Stolas and my Sticker collection that I picked up during the con.
The Nifty and Blitzo one were appropriate given Stolas ^_^
Also, the “Demon Dude” sticker was given to me an adorable mini-Blitzo. If that was you, please let me know, I’d love to see those pics you got 🥰
Stolas + Stolas
Another reduced picture day from MCM ComicCon.
This one was one of the first pics I took/got taken of with Stolas. And ironically, it was with another Stolas cosplayer.
This was actually the second time we bumped into each other. We missed the opportunity the first time we met, of getting a photo together, but managed to take the opportunity the second time.
I didn’t get the cosplayer’s handle, so if you’re reading this, please let me know and I’ll tag you.
Stolas + TikTok Jesus
A shorter selection of pics from MCM ComicCon today, because I wanted to post this pic. I found the legendary @scottywartooth [IG], aka the TikTok Jesus and had to get a picture of him with Stolas. Heaven and Hell so to speak 😝
Stolas with Ellie and Shroomie at MCM ComicCon

Floooof!

Here, we found the MCM ComicCon sign and got some pics together.
