Lucygoo - Pit. macroadenoma, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, trans-oral approach

Okay....we were just hanging out, standing there...people walking by were starting to look concerned...and I heard comments like, "My God...how old is that dog?" Like I'm some crazy lady. I had all I could do to add..."She just had brain surgery, give her a break."

If you insist, the color was sort of cafe au lait-ish...consisitency...perfect. No diarrhea. Now I'M going to check myself in...seriously. I already told Dr. Bruyette last night after my cortisol F-up that they clearly should have operated on my brain right along with Lucy's. He laughed, but did not disagree, as such.

No, the guy in white coats, when they come for me, I am showing them this post.

Hope you have a shotgun:eek:

Gina,

So happy to hear that Lucy is doing well. We all fully understand and appreciate your updates.

Just so you know, we do have poop patrol. Sometimes it even requires a flashlight!! ;) when not so good .. .. .. we wait for the next time, then when it is good we have a poop patrol party.

Next time they ask you how old Lucy is.... tell them. She has just made history.

Continued healing prayers for Lucy.

I knew you guys would understand:)
That sort of stuff is my life lately...I think I'm really getting post pituitary macrotumor brain tumor surgery cabin fever:eek: Or just plain nuts.
Either way...thank god for you guys. We should really have an honest to god party one of these days.

Hey Gina,
We consider poop a serious issue here.:o I'm not sure about the color coding but check out the following for some information on "form".

I'm vascillating between a type 4 and type 5.....definitley there was separation, but not overly so.

You know?

Hi Gina,

I'm glad to hear Lucy is on the road to recovery:D!

And, I admit...I'm interested in poo, too. I think we should start a thread on the matter! Loved Jenny's link:D:D...but, seriously, I do wish there was a color coded chart.

We know:D:D

Over the years there have been a lot of funny and embarrassing stories about following your dog in the middles of the night in slippers with flashlight in hand only to be caught by neighbors.

My angel Buddy was always escorted outside to check consistency of poop and even the color and amount of pee, because he was diabetic too often I would put diastix strip under him to check for glucose in the pee.

Wait until you get that look from Lucy that says man will you just let me do my business in peace. Buddy looked at me like that all the time.:o

I know you're all dying to hear....the 9 p.m. meds came and went successfully and uneventfully.....she ate a good bit more, then we went out and peed. She did, that is. Then went back in and she collapsed on her cooler mat. Now I'm just contemplating the 11 p.m. eye ointment....and bedtime ritual.
It's insane how every little movement has to be carefully orchestrated these days. I'm not complaining though...I love every minute of it....poo and all:eek: (Loved the poo chart, by the way...that was hysterical.)
