Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy- Good Bye Flynny We will miss you

dang I don't have any chocolate at home-:eek:

it will be a long nite for sure-

well, my mom was last in line for her surgery so it will be ok for Flynny going last too:)

I have chocolate, mint aero bars yum yum :D I,m up with Woody at least twice during the night so will be hitting the refresh button for any news ;)

OK, I've gotta go cook some dinner or else I shall be ill from all the chocolate :rolleyes:.

But I'll be back again a bit later on...

Nestlé produce rolos over here. Quite like them too, it's fair to say I have a sweet tooth.

I do love Christmas and all the goodies you can get, I think you guys go all out if the movies are anything to go by and I would love that.
We do take decorations for outside our holiday place as I love to light it up. Gonna get a penguin this year to put outside hopefully. I always get a real tree too as I love that smell

Lovr the rolo's, but like dark chocolate with almonds!

Laura Secord is excellent chocolate here in Canada. See's is definitely yummy too.

Oh man, chocolate! I'm going to need some espresso to go with that and keep the motor running tonight.

Lucky I am working from home tomorrow at least.

huggers,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Yum we have and I love mint aero, rolos, milky way and snickers.. no idea what a baby ruth bar is though :) I like crunchies best! It is a bar of hokey pokey covered in chocolate... I might have to walk up the shop up the road and buy some soon if this convo keeps going along these lines :D:D

I just now got the newest See's candy catalogue in the mail. Shall I place a 10 pound order for immediate delivery?!! Oh...you all say 20pounds...no problem!! I think I shall!!! (yum actually wish I did have a box on hand!)

Ok...so Flynn is last one on the operating room list...that's ok, docs will not feel rushed to get to the next dog then. So, he goes in approx. 3-4 hours from now,around 10pm est, is that right? I'm usually still up at midinght-1am so I'll be checking in..

They did mention early afternoon.. like 1pm.. so that is in half an hour. Tracy it is 12.24pm here right now :)

Heck Barbara... do the 20kg!! :eek::eek:

So its about 11 hrs as its 11.30 pm here at nights

ROFL! Dark chocolate is one of those acquired tastes I think. I didn't use to like it and was milk choco all the way. I'll bring butterfingers and some Laura Secord though to the party. :)
I'll be up late too, and checking in. Gosh might has well do some online shopping if I'm going to be at the computer tonight. hmmmm Should feed hubby too when he comes home. :)

hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Get him to feed you :D

Girls, I am going to lay on the couch and rest my eyes for half an hr or so... rest assured I will leap up and update you all if my phone rings xxxx

Good idea, hopefully you can get a decent nap in. I will be back later

Paws up Flynn xx

hehehe Mel! He worked later than I did tonight. :) I had to leave work early to get over to the passport office. Can't escape from the winter if I don't have my passport in order. (oh the horror!!) :)

Good idea to get some shut eye while you can Trish. Never fear, if your phone rings, we'll all jump! hahahaa

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Okay, keep it down ladies. Trish is trying to rest.

figures, I get home from work and you all go to bed:D;):rolleyes:

Not me Addy. I'm here!:D

Back off the couch, the home phone rang and it was just my friends checking up on me....

So, I just rang pet hospital. I have never been the patient type :) they are still waiting to get the call from theatre, he is ready to go has IV fluids running and the nurse said while Flynn would much rather be home laying in the sun, all things considered he is doing just fine. She estimates maybe in an hour or so and they will ring me when they get the definite call.

So you have time to catch a nap before he goes in probably. Try again!!

I'm here too. Ready smutty gossip columns and blinds. hahahaha

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Monty Python is reuniting! Ohhhh, like them, hilarious.

Sharlene and Molly Muffin

That story was just on our news too Sharlene, I like them too... ministry of funny walks..

I tried to keep everyone quiet Trish.:o Oh well, you tried to rest. You do realize that it's almost impossible to keep Addy and Sharlene quiet because it's not in their nature. LOL

Marianne so kindly volunteered to cook dinner for all of us. I hope it's something that goes with chocolate! Then again, EVERYTHING goes with chocolate. :D

perk! *whisper mode - Marianne is cooking... hmmm...sorry love, heading to Mariannes for dinner tonight. ta!
shhhhhh

Love Monty Python and the Holy Grail. :)

hahahaha
sharlene and molly muffin

Well I'm glad someone is cooking because all I cooked was a TV dinner:p That's ok, I'm saving it up for turkey day.;)

Trish, do you mean that is when surgery will start?

Do any of you watch The Voice? I watched it last year so ended up watching it again this year. I think I liked it better last year.

Addy,
From what I understand. The next call that Trish will be getting is the one for surgery to start, but he is ready to go. If I have it wrong angels, speak up!;)

Gawd, I went back to couch, mobile has rung 3 times in last half hour. All work calls which I have let go to voicemail. So not getting any rest at all really, so tired but don't think I could sleep even in a dark quiet room today.

Yes Addy, I am still waiting for the call to tell me they are about to start.

Ok, Auckland time is 2:23pm, weird to think you are already in Wednesday.

The surgeon sounds good Trish, I read the bio you posted.

Maybe can you take some Advil? Maybe it will make your eyes feel better.

Try to sleep, we will shut up;)

Dang! Thought I was gonna be able to sneak the Brandy in while Trish was napping. I'll go see what Marianne is doing in the kitchen. :D

Dang Leslie, I thought you went to bed;):D

OK Gang, dinner is served! :)

Grilled pork tenderloin, roasted acorn squash and green beans, side Caesar salad...

It looks really good (if I do say so myself), but I'm really not very hungry after all that chocolate... :o

Oh well, it'll make good left-overs (anything that you all don't eat, that is!) ;)

It's a good thing Leslie. If Marianne doesn't ring that dinner bell soon, I'm going to have to go rustle something up myself. Whatever I find, will probably make Addy's TV dinner look scrumptious. :D

Nurse just rang and looks like he is going in at 3pm. She was taking him through to get anaesthetic started and shaving him.... I am having second thoughts now... their staff go home at 6pm. Overnight they act as a 24hr emergency clinic and their is nurses and they will be checking him and there is a vet there. She said if they were worried about him they call in the surgeon or IMS. I guess it is good there are staff there but they run emergencies like if pets get injured out of hours so could get busy with that. I am used to the pet hospital where he was in ICU and had a nurse with him 24/7 initially. 6pm he will only just be coming out of anaesthetic.... my blood is starting to run cold :( She is going to ring me back to confirm they are starting at 3pm

I was just wondering what was keeping you. Marianne. It smells delicious! There isn't going to be any leftovers. Too bad so sad. ;)

Trish, what time is it there now? Is it about 2:30 PM there? If so, that would mean surgery should be starting in about a half an hour or so?

Yes, its 2.36pm

That sounds delicious Marianne!

I see what you mean Trish. What do you think though? Would the surgeon and IMS just leave before he comes out of anesthesia? Can you be there if need be? curl up in a chair, anything. I know having that ICU was wonderful, you didn't have to worry more than usual.

big hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
