You know that type of headache? When you get up and walk a few steps then your brain sort of.. catches up with your cranium? In doing so it actually knocks the inside of your forehead, sending this strange pain down your face and your vision starts to fuck up momentarily.
That plus inexplicable arm aches. Strange.
Am feeling a financial pinch on the bum. Shelled out $200 for ratty castrations on Saturday, which I did so pretty willingly. It was only the post-payment pinch that got to me. Both Stalin&Rasputin have been snipped and are now testosteroneless. Woke up at some indecent time in the morning (8.30am) and took a cab down to the vet at Bukit Purmei, think Vivocity.
I had to go THAT far to get to the vet because no vets around the East have the confidence to operate on rodents. That's quite sad, cos if someone brings in a dying hamster and the vet refuses the operate they'd just have to put it down.
But anyway, through some asking around I got this clinic's contact number, and they scheduled me right away for an appointment. On that Saturday itself the vet said the surgery could be done. So with slight hesitance, I left my two boys there.
Oh and turns out Stalin has bigger balls than Rasputin! Who would've known...
After the surgery, the vet nurses gave Rasputin a rubber glove filled with warm water to lie on, and apparently he reclined backwards on it cos it was so shiok. The nurses thought he died and got a shock. Am currently nursing the two, giving them their antibiotics and painkillers which would be easier if Rasputin stopped attacking the syringes.
They shouldn't fight anymore after this. And its only right for me to make sure of that before I put them up for adoption :(

Cracks me up the thought of having rodents named after two Russian men who helped to bring about an end to the Tsarist Empire...
haha... and to think i had absolutely no part to play in the process of naming them.
