Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo I missed the catch up again, boo hoo.
Hi Trish :D Flynn :D Mel :D Boysie :D
So Trish I,ve went from oh Shit, oh no, to its good we have a plan and Dr Mike isn,t too worried phew, so can only imagine what you went through. As always focusing on the fact that it is the pred that caused this is they way I would go. I know Bruno,s went up high when he was on it, I must look out the numbers as I still have his file. Glad Mum and Dad are "stable" this week, just wish that dad,s wound would stop oozing.
Mel, How are you doing? How is Boysie leg, its always something. You take as much time away as you need, I know from time to time I do the same, as it gets a bit much. When I log on and see the threads of the dogs passing I log back out, as it brings it back to me too. Glad that you are having a holiday, you need it by the sounds of that work of yours.
I will be back later girls hope to catch up :p

Hey! Sorry was just outside hanging out the first load of Flynn blankies! Sounds like you have had a busy day at your sisters
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Yeah it was. There was people coming and going most of the day, family, friends etc. I felt a bit useless although I knew her I wasn,t close to her but felt really sorry for my sister and her husband. Mandy,s husband Andy her brother was just carrying on normally, cracking jokes etc but I,m sure it was just shock. I took Rachel away for a little while as don,t want her to stressed by it all so close to her due date. I was also running to mums as my brothers father in law died Thursday and mum had his little 4 yr old to look after, I was pretty exhausted lol.
How are you doing now, got your head round everything going on with Flynn yet?
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Oh that does sound so sad. Nice of you to take Rachel for a bit of a break, can't have her getting so stressed out. I bet her hubby and your BIL are in total shock, you don't expect your wife/sister to go out for a run and not come back, did she have any history of health problems?
Yeah, I am OK... he is acting fine so I am hoping it is just the pred and not another liver nodule acting up. Seems quite a high jump though, time will tell. I will take him to Auckland Mid-April for a scan. It will be two months since the last one. Surely nothing could be causing this high jump that fast :confused: you never know with Flynny though... :rolleyes:
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
No history of anything she was a very fit lady, and ran everyday, the doctor said it was a massive heart attach such a shame. :(
It has to be the pred, that is the only different thing he has had, so in my head its the pred. I agree a scan mid april would be the way to go, as by then he will be off the pred and hopefully his numbers will have come down. Pred has its good points but also has its bad points but sometimes you have to use it :confused:
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Yes, I have to ask Mike how fast they will come down. His blardy paw seems to have come to a point as well, wonder if there is something in it after all? I tried to give it a wee squeeze but it is amazing how much strength he has in tucking it under so I cannot get at it.
It sure must have been a big one, so unfair :(
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Ha ha Flynn,s not daft, tucking his paw away from you. Do you think the paw is sore, or it similar to his other one that you showed on the picture, does he lick it as this can sometimes make it worse. I have no doubt with Dr Mike on your side it won,t be long till Flynn is back to tip top condition :D
Are you having a lazy Sunday, tomorrow is Mothers Day here so will go and see mum tomorrow, also our clocks go forward tonight an hour for Spring Time yippee more daylight :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Mike thinks it is from licking, I am not so sure now it has come to a point. It is not inflamed so will keep an eye on it. Will mention it next week when we catch up. Not going to contact him again over the weekend or he will really think I have lost it :eek:
Lazy so far, but it is only 10.30am... think our clocks change next weekend. I hate it, dark earlier then bam freezing cold... well I guess not by your standards but cold enough for me!! We only go below zero during the night, or perhaps a bit first thing in the morning if there is frost. So I cannot complain really.
Might be having a doggy play date later to catch up with a friend and her Golden Dougal. He always appoints himself Flynn's protector if we go for a walk, he is a big galumph!! Dougal's had mast cell tumours removed x2 and is on mistletoe treatment and seems to be doing well, he is another Mike patient and they love him too!!
What you got your Mum? Our Mother's Day is in May.
