CatNipped - 17 Mar 2005 01:31 GMT Here are some pictures of my poor, hurt baby. She was purring and rolling around on the bed, so I'm hoping she's feeling a bit better.

Neither of my parents were in technical professions, and neither have any interest in learning much beyond email and some basic web surfing. It can be really frustrating, because we have such different lifestyles. I live on the net; it's the first place I go when confronted with a question. Dad will talk about going to the library to get a tax form or look something up, and I'm just astounded.

Probably about 20 years ago when the place where I worked got PC's for word processing. Up until then I used a typewriter. When the bookkeeper quit to have a baby I took over her job and kept the books manually until the boss finally sprung for a computer program. That really hooked me on computers. I do just about everything on the computer including my taxes.

Mom is completely technologically clueless and uninterested. Dad can learn what he wants to learn, but isn't interested, either. And yet both of mom's kids, me and my brother K, are computer programmers, and I'm fascinated by emerging computing technology. When we have family get-togethers, dad has to announce, "No more computer talk!" when we get going.

She also got email before I did. We communicate every day by email, which is much cheaper than phone calls between California and Alaska. She is 93 now, and has macular degeneration, so I have to use a very large font for my email, but she still manages. She is very annoyed with one of her friends, who is about my age and refuses to get a computer. Instead, she sends long, handwritten letters, which are very hard for my mother to read.

It's been classic that every generation thinks it invented sex. The last couple have been of the opinion that they invented computers and networks. Let's see...next year, I will have been working with computers for forty years, and with networks for about 37.

We'd get MLK, Jr. thrown in during Black History Month (after it was designated) or somesuch. This is one major reason I'm considering alternative/homeschooling.

I didn't mean to suggest that all people older than me are technophobes. I almost didn't ask the question because I didn't want to give that impression. It's just that Nan mentioning her birthyear really hit me. She's older than my parents, and my parents have very little understanding of what they can do with a computer.
I guess I do have a generalization in my head that older people tend not to care for computers, but that doesn't mean I don't think older people who like computers exist. Then again, I'm also surprised when I talk to other women who are technically inclined, even though I am one myself.

He is a retired executive. I spent a couple of hours on the phone just trying to get him comfortable with his email. Two months later, he was emailing me things like, "You know, you really should defrag your hard drive every few months." He is a gadget lover in the old sense of the word--and his intelligence and natural inquisitiveness carried over, so that the computer is just another gadget. He is now, at age 82, at the point where I was a couple of years after first getting a computer and going online--he knows enough to fiddle with things and screw up the computer with downloads and uninstalls, but not quite enough to fix it! I am terribly proud of him as I know women in their 50s who will not touch a computer. The first time I touched one I had a very hard time getting away from it. I seem to recall several days with little food and no bathing. :)

But in all fairness, my Grandpa was an electrical engineer for all his working life, so maybe not as unfamiliar with this kind of thing as others would be :-)

You might be surprised at how many older folks use computers daily. I instant message most days with my eighty year old aunt. And she stays in contact with her friends by email. Her oldest brother who died at 95 a few years ago took computer classes at the local community college when he was in his eighties as well.
Charlie will be seventy this year. He worked with the pentagon computers in the fifties.

I wish I could convince my mother (76) that I could teach her to use a computer. Or if she doesn't feel comfortable with me teaching her, she could take a class at the workers' institute. I think I may have lit a spark, as I showed her how you can look at works of art at Tate Gallery in London, sitting in your own home (she's very into art). I'll just have to try and build up that spark.
My dad had a word processor in the early 1980s (in fact, it's still sitting at my mother's), but he passed away before PCs became common. I'm pretty sure he would have been quite comfortable with computers. Well, as a scientist, he would have had to, because such a lot of research co-operation goes on over the internet and e-mail these days.

I have tried to encourage some of the older people in our condo area to get computers. Most resist the idea. When I broke my hip at 74 and couldn't get around for a while, my son lent me an extra computer he had and said "here, figure this out." He feels self teaching works. He assured me I could not hurt the computer (but I could surely foul it up). Reading the cat groups helped me most of all and I did this for years before posting. I also have a printer and a scanner printer which are very useful. E-mail and receiving pictures adds to the fun. I love to look at the beautiful cat pictures that turn up on Anecdotes. MLB

MLB Age is a state of mind!! We had a friend in his 90's who used to say that he wasn't old since age was a state of mind. When he had to go into a nursing home at the age of 95 he told us that if he had known they wouldn't let him have his car he wouldn't have gone.

If the pic you showed of her second burn is all scab, I'd be happy with it myself. Sometimes the yellow looking part is just leaking serum that has dried. If she were my cat: If she were younger and the vet suggested surgery for this burn too, I might agree. I hope she has told you that without it, she may never grow hair on this spot again. However, if she belonged to me, I would ask the vet if she will heal up on her own without surgery, and if she will, with maybe not such a nice cosmetic outcome I would leave her to eventually heal on her own. If she was 3,4, even 8, I would think differently. I once had to make a decision about surgery on a very elderly dog I had. Her name was Havoc. She had various symptoms and was taken to the vet and had a body scan which found she had a tumour on her spleen which was leaking blood. Now I had a 13 yo, Pearl, (her brother's daughter, actually) that burst her spleen suddenly one Easter Sunday through a tumour on it, and I had her spleen removed at a huge cost with quite a long recovery time and 8 months later she had cancer of the bone and her leg just broke so I had to say goodbye. In view of what happened to Pearl, I decided that at 17, poor lovely Havie would probably not survive the op to have any decent amount of lifespan afterwards. So...
Bandit's burn on her back is not life-threatening. Her surgery on her tummy looks great. Myself, as I said, unless it is seriously infected and she becomes unwell because of it, I would leave it as it is at her age.
See what your vet says to this (which is only my opinion after a lifetime of having lots of dogs which sometimes had the weirdest things wrong with them as they got older.)

[quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > Tweed Yeah, I know what you mean. But I think the vet is going to recommend surgery - she mentioned it when she looked at the pictures today. The Silvadine is supposed to encourage crystallization of the burn, and it doesn't look like it's doing so (it's actually the areas that are red or purple that concern the vet - not the areas that are yellow).
If she suggests surgery I'm going to agree because of the other burn turning gangrenous - if that happens again it could be much worse than the strain of a *third* bout of anesthesia in a month's time. The one thing we have going for us is that Bandit is *VERY* healthy even for a cat half her age, so I'm hoping for the best!

I'd say that is a very happy and contented kitty. It must be a relief for her every time you take off the collar (or is it off all the time now?).
