Hey you how's it going ?
How is the wee mans paw getting on, he seems to be going through a bit if a rough patch recently but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel :D
How's your dad coming along, I do hope he is on the mend. I'm feeling better just have to ride the waves of the grief I guess. Mac arrives on Monday to Tracy's Hotel for Dogs and I'm sure we will have fun even if I have to force myself lol. He is a sweet dog but he,s not Woody so I need to stop thinking he is a replacement for him. Hopefully me, you and Mel can catch up this weekend as it's been ages

Hi Mel, Sharlene, Valerie, Tracy, Susan!!
Wow what a good sleep!! Hello Saturday :), Cylone Lusi is hitting up North but so far does not sound too bad. It is going down the opposite side of the island to me. So I think we should get away with a bit of rain and wind but otherwise should be OK. I have a special long awaited dinner out tonight at friends so don't want that getting put off!!
Dad was discharged yesterday, we have to take him back to the orthopaedic clinic on Tuesday for review with the surgeon. Infectious Diseases physician has started a new AB, so hopefully that will help as it is still oozing :mad:
Flynn is much the same, red paw, itching, occasional loose poops. Fingers crossed this turns around soon. Happy enough in himself though, I have taken him for a walk already in anticipation of the bad weather today.
Hope you all have some fun lined up for the weekend xxxxx :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hello
Hope you enjoyed your dinner and Luis didn't change course.
Good news dad gets to come out for a bit, hopefully this new ab will finally do the trick. Fingers crossed.
Seems to be such a fine balance for Flynn, like the change of protein is ok for a few months then he has a reaction. I wonder if his feet are related to that as it happened last time too. Hopefully it will settle down soon. Pleased to hear he is not phased by it and is enjoying doggie life
Will be hanging around for a bit in case you come stumbling in ;) or Tracy wakes up

I have just stumbled in!! LOL not really stumbling, a friend picked me up. What a fantastic dinner we had, dunno if you remember but before Christmas me and another friend had organised the retirement party for one of our colleagues Pip, the dinner tonight was her saying thank you back! We even got a gift to bring home.. she had made quince cheese, and it was in a sweet little container, it is gorgeous as she had some with her pre dinner snacks. I am so full but lovely to get out for the night.
Cyclone not too bad, I don't think it is a cyclone anymore but it is sure windy out there, big gusts come through. Raining so we crawled home but apart from a few little branches on roads not too bad. It's quiet here as Flynn is at Mum and Dad's, he so hates being alone I took him over and they were happy to have him stay the night. Will pick him up in the morning.
How is your day so far?
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
How nice she made something for you all. Good to hear it's not turned into a full blown cyclone, the weather can be pretty scary sometimes.
Bet it is lonely without him, am sure he is snuggled up somewhere at mum and dads pleased to have your dad home too
Just can't seem to wake up this morning, luckily Boyce's daddy took him for his one walk a week that he does as I wasn't feeling it. I think work has taken it out of me these last few months, it's hard enough but at the moment people keep doing stupid things and then there are no resources to fix it so it's like wading through treacle to get stuff done.
I am off to see the kids tomorrow might take them to a skate park or somewhere as we are apparently due some sunshine all week!
Did you get past that level on Candy crush or have you still given up?!
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Well it sounds like you are doing what I did this morning.. half of nothing much at all! :D Bit of skating with the kids tomorrow will clear out the cobwebs though Mel :eek: don't break anything!
I haven't even done the shopping as Mum went and she said it was mad with everyone getting in supplies for the cyclone. It seems that its a bit of a media beat up as it really is not that bad, will see what happens overnight before we declare it a total fizzer!
Your work does sound like you have a lot of stress, not enough resources... hard doing that week in week out Mel, you have done it a long time though haven't you?
Flynn will be asleep in Dad's room, they were making up his bed in there. That's apart from the other 5 they have for him to choose from around the house!! I did not take his bed from here just his fave blankies to snuggle in. I do think the allergies, itching/IBD are all interlinked somehow. It also affects his kidneys too, as it only goes high if he is flaring. It is not bad enough for the Pred yet though.
Oh yep, I got past the last hard level. I have caught up to Valerie and she said this one is a stinker and she is right.. ugh! I need Candy Crush rehab! :D
Tracy must be sleeping in after her hard week and dinner last night :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I broke my wrist nearly 6 years ago walking in the rain with the pups so there will be no skating for me. I never want to feel that pain again. It's not healed properly so still feel it now.
Media has a lot to answer for, it panics people which is unnecessary! I was just catching up on the news about flight MH 370 those poor families reading all those different stories every day must be heartbreaking for them.
This will be my 16th year at the company and the 10th doing the position. It has never been like this though, since we got taken over my whole world has changed.
Maybe he needs his preferred proteins lamb and venison rotated so like a month on month off as it's usually around the few month mark he sees issues again.
Boyce's daddy is on about level 200 something I don't have the patience for that game, I have it on my pad but haven't really played it!
Yes she must be having a lie in, it's hard to get back into working when you have a while off, hopefully she will be in before you fall asleep :D
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Maybe we should do that calling thing...
Wake up Tracy, oh Tracy wake up :D
