Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hope you are ok, we did not get the snow but it will be -17 tomorrow. The schools are closing as well as the grocery stores will close early. Was hoping I would receive a call from my boss not to come in but it never happened:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hi Patti,
I didn't see your post today. You must be having a very busy day, taking care of Tipper, Toby, Elvis (love his name) and your neighbor's cat. Were you able to walk Tipper today? It's still pretty cold here today. I hope you and Tipper had a better night last night. Will check back later to read your today's post. Take care. :)

We must not forget Lucky, Chance and the goldfish. 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bird, and goldfish. Now the neighbor's cat next door. I feel for the cat, but leave it at home! You'll have a riot of unprecedented proportions! :D I hope you are okay. We are used to you checking in EVERY morning. xxxxx

Patti, my apology to Lucky, Chance and your goldfish. It totally skipped my mind. It seems like it's happening more and more, like forgetting things.:eek: I was even admiring your beautiful cat mansion the other day.:o I'd like to volunteer myself for not remembering some family members from time to time. Sorry Sophie, I know I forgot about you a while ago. I will try to get things straightened out with time.;)

Hi Everyone:
I had an emergency, I will be on later an explain everything is ok. Blessings

Ok here we go. My elderly lady neighbor that I look out for did not answer her phone. I got Tipper all bundled up and went up the street to her house. I could hear her tv on and saw the lights. I banged on the doo, but no answer. Keep banging and tried the doo knob, and glory be it was open. There she was laid back in her recliner, with blood everywhere. I tied Tipper as she has a cat. Checked her pulse she had a weak one, called the ambulance and they were there in 3 minutes. We went up to the hospital and I sat there with Tipper on my lap. Two specialists examined her, and the cancer is back with a vengeance. They found a tumor, and I guess it had just let lose and bled. They let me see her thru the doorway and she was very frightened and calling out for me, so she got Tipper really rattled. I left and they took her by ambulance to the Cleveland Clinic 2 hours away. I ran up and fed the cat left the lite on and the tv for her. Ran back home and I guess they will operate tonite. I am waiting for the hospital to call me. Our roads are hazardous to say the least, sheets of ice from rain and snow all nite. The wind is unreal it is 20 below they said and worse tomorrow. Tipper blood appt. was cancelled by my vet, because he is afraid of the transport in these temps. Also her laser therapy she desperately needs has to be cancelled. I have her on a heating pad right now. The ice packs were too much for her and she moaned, so we went to heat and she is happy. I can feel the terrible frigid temps even coming thru my windows. It will be worse here tomorrow as tonite is lake effect snow. Sorry I did not get to read your posts, but please say a prayer for my elderly neighbor, her name is Delora. God Bless her she is 82. Blessings

Patti I have just read every post you have written that I Have missed, I haven't been getting any alerts and so I logged in to see how you are, I hope your neighbour will be OK and Tipper too, you have SO much going on. PLEASE look after yourself too. Much Love Diana & Teddy x

Oh thank god you were there Patti. It is unthinkable what would have happened if you had not gone over. Truly, bless you.

Oh poor Tipper. I am sure this weather is hard on her. I am taking molly out only very minimal into the back yard to do her business as there is at least some wind breaks back there. She isn't happy, but it's dangerous out the front.

I hope everything goes okay with the surgery tonight. Shame on her son for talking her out of chemo. :(

hang in there Patti! You done good.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

lots of strenght for you, tipper and your neighbour. hope the weather will improve!

OMG Patti!

How scary! I hope that your neighbor pulls through and boy, someone should blast her son for convincing her not to do chemo. That makes me so angry. Elderly are not dispensable.

We're expecting the minus 17 temps too and it might go as low as -25/-30 which is unheard of in CT.

Please be safe and stay warm.
