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

They said they stay until they are happy he is OK, I told her I want to visit and she said that is probably alright they will just have to tee it up with the staff to let me in... weird I thought if emergency 24hr service then you could just walk in

I don't know what Advil is, we do not have that. Have taken Paracetamol

Thanks for dinner, sounds yum... but starting to feel sick, just had a coughing fit and nearly puked... gawd no I am sounding like a drama queen and I hate that

They would not do that would they? Operate on Flynn and then go home? The surgeon would not leave before he wakes up would he?

Can you go there and stay with him? Would they let you? Maybe they would let you.

Call back and ask them to clarify for you.

You dont sound like a drama queen and geeze it is not like you arent entitled to sound like one if you wanted to, ;);)

They have to clear it for you to go in the back. They did for me to go get Zoe. They wanted me to walk into the back and take her out of the cage and leave with her so it all had to be cleared that I could go into the back where she was recouperating in her cage. They did not want the staff to handle her, I dont know why.

So that is what they meant I think.

Yes, under the circumstances and with your training and all, I wonder if they'd let you stay with him. I do hope so!

Squirt had her spleen surgery and went back for four days due to a pancreas flare in a hospital like that. During the day it was a specialty vet clinic; at night it was an ER only clinic. BUT the staff took excellent care of her and a nurse or vet checked on her constantly - I know because I called all the time and read her chart when they let me see her. :o:p And my copies of her surgical files note every time someone saw her or did anything - and it was every few minutes at times, especially just after surgery and when she first had to go back. Her surgeon and IMS wandered through frequently as well - I decided they had no lives! :D

I felt like you at first but after calling so much and being able to talk to someone who could tell me minute details, I felt much better. And seriously - I called SO much, they finally gave me a schedule as to when they would call me with a report. :o There were 3 land lines and 2 cell phones in that house and I couldn't see one and not call!...and I saw them all the time because I paced and roamed constantly. :D They were almost as glad as I was to see her come home. ;)

Advil is ibprophen. I bet that Addy is right and that is what they meant, cleared to go into the back. well as long as they stay till they are sure. IMS on duty as plenty of experience too?
Drama queen nah Nervous mum yep and I would prob be much worse :-)
Now rest!

At this hospital you couldn't walk in - you had to either call ahead and have them meet you or go to the back door and use the speaker system. Their focus was on the animals in the clinic - both the ER cases and surgical cases from the day time. Walk-ins would be a distraction they didn't need. ;)

Hi all. Well I am finally home from work, and it looks like just in time for dinner! Sounds yummy Marianne!! :) Trish you are absolutely not a drama queen, nerves can get the best of all of us and this is stressful. I agree with the others, ask if they would let you just sit with him in between them doing their checks. I think it is 3 there now.....

They just started surgery... come on Flynn boy I love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PAWS UP FLYNNY BOY- MAMA AND THE GANG LOvE AND NEED YOU

PAWS UP FLYNNY BOY! You did it before. You can do it again.:)

We're right here Trish, waiting along with you. We love him too! :)

Okay East Coast angels. It's time to poke you with my pointer stick. Surgery has begun.

PAWS UP from me too. Focusing all the positive energy your way. Waiting with you Trish.

Keep those paws up Flynn

you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No news, one hour down. The last nurse I spoke to said they take around 2 hrs, sometimes less sometimes more. Back to the couch with a blanket over my head hoping my sweetie boy is handling it all well... thanks for being here guys. xxxx

we are still here, sweetie, I crawled up next to you and pulled the blanket over my head too, we will share;)

Holding down the fort in Central US! Now where did Marianne hide that Brandy....

Me too, still here. Is there room under that blanket? :) There are angels all around our boy. xo

That better be a big blanket cuz a few more of us are crawling in.:p

Had to go out and just got back...glad things are underway. C'mon Flynny!!! We're all here pulling for you!!

Barbara

Time to crack open the chocolate box?

We've been eating chocolate for the last four or five hours.:eek: :eek: Marianne's delicious dinner helped to balance a little bit of it out. Thank goodness! But by all means get started. Then you can catch up to the rest of us. :p

We're still here Trish. It's getting pretty tight on that couch under the blanket. I think we need to find a bigger couch.;):D it could be all that chocolate! Xxxxx

Paws up Flynn!!!
I'm here too!!
Come on Flynn

hugs
sharlene and molly muffin

Thanks for poking me, Kathy. I dosed off for a minute there :o, but here I am!

Stay strong, Flynnie, stay strong!!!

No news, two hour mark now. I guess that is a good thing, it means they did not just have to open and close him because anything had spread and hopefully nothing dire has happened with bleeding or BP. But after two hours of willing my phone not to ring now I want it to so I can hear all is well. Not that my phone has not been ringing, with family friends getting in from work and wanting an update! But now when it rings my heart won't leap into my throat, well it probably will but hopefully not in terror something has gone wrong.

I can sure feel that couch is crowded, has been nice with the sun coming out the window... I need a little snack to take away this sick, headachy feeling. Thanks for sticking around everyone, hopefully I will have news soon xxxx

I dosed off too Marianne. :) Had the tablet open on my lap and was watching Pawn Stars on tv, next thing I know, my husband and mother in law are skyping and I woke up in a daze and startled of "oh my god, Flynn" and had to check in. :) :) :)

Hope we have good news soon.
hugs,
sharlene and molly muffin

Hang in their Flynny boy. You can do it! In the meantime we'll keep your mama company. Thanks for the two hour update Trish. Yes! Try to eat a little something. Xxxx

Trish, I think it's good, too that they must be progressing with the surgery. But now we're all ready for some word.

(BTW, Sharlene, I love Pawn Stars -- maybe if we leave it turned on under the blanket we can both stay awake now...!)

I did, a carrot .... most unlike me. Just felt like something fresh. My friends here said not to worry about prepping anything for dinner as we will get thai takeaways or something later. Sandi not home till 6.30... well that's only bit over an hour away now.

Something funny happening with the website, posts from Sharlene and Kathy showing up on my phone app but not on my laptop on the actual website, it shows they have posted on the front page but when I come in here they nowhere to be seen :confused: DId it earlier too, maybe the Flynn saga is going over our daily quota of posts!

Oops they all there now!! Just bit of delay... you can put the telly up loud now I am out from under my blanket, starting to feel much more positive! This house a bit creepy though, it is over three levels and I am on level two and the wind has picked up and things are banging, I just swore I heard a door slam downstairs and crept down the stairs but nothing there :eek:

Hmmmm...I've been experiencing some weirdnesses with the site, too, over the last couple of days. Thought it was just me, but apparently not. I'll take it up with the other Admins tomorrow!

Sorry Trish, some of us have gotten hungry once we came out from under the blanket and have been tiptoeing downstairs looking for more snacks. ;) xxxxx

Does Nutella count as chocolate? I love that stuff! My oldest grandson turned me on to it and it has become a secret vice. :o

yea a few weird things here too on the site, but I just figured it was my computer being funky for some reason.

Oh yea, you'd think I could stay awake to pawn stars! I love that show. They get some cool stuff in there. I think I'd want to go check out that store if I'm ever in Vegas.

hmmm, I see they have a new Bonnie and Clyde movie is going to be on Dec 8 - 9 on the History channel. Might have to watch that. Looks good.

ohh, that would be spooky Trish. It's always kind of weird in a different house that you don't know ever little creak and sound of. A bang with nerves on edge, might do me in. I'll be under the blanket thank you very much! :)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Oh Nutella -- Counts as chocolate at my house! I'd forgotten all about that open jar at the side of the cupboard! :) :) :)

That stuff with posts not appearing happened to me today too when I was checking at work. I could see that someone posted on the list of threads, but then the post was not there when I went to read. Weird. I thought maybe it was our internet Gestapo messing with me! :rolleyes:

Still here with you Trish. It is super windy here too, I was just talking to a friend and told her it sounds like something is banging against the house outside. :eek:

You guys, I had to stop to pick up some chocolate on the way home from work so I would have some in the house tonight after all that talking everyone did earlier!

Hang in there Flynn, will be watching for an update. You hang in there too Mum. xo

I'm still here too Trish. I'm not going anywhere. It is cozy and warm under that blanket. Xxxx

Uh oh, my eyes are getting kind of heavy again. I'm just gonna rest them for a minute but Kathy, you poke me as soon as there's more news, OK?

The house in Mississippi my mom grew up in was built by her dad, my Papa, in the early 1900's. After the last aunt who was living there passed it fell to me to clean the house out. One night I was asleep when I heard racket from the kitchen downstairs - glass was breaking! :eek: The house sat on 34 acres with no one around. The houses closest to the sides were empty and the folks across the street were gone for the weekend. It was me and Squirt in an old house in the middle of nowhere. I grabbed a heavy crystal lamp by the bed and crept downstairs holding that thing over my head prepared to whack anything that moved! I snuck through a dark, old house to the back where the kitchen was to find a squirrel wrecking havoc. I had been going through all the dishes, glasses, etc. and they were stacked here and there in the kitchen. That squirrel must have come down one of the chimneys and was scared to pieces! By that time Squirt was raising cain from the bed upstairs so I let her down. She chased that squirrel through the house barking and growling with me behind them still holding the lamp. Squirt finally chased it out one of the open doors then looked at me as if asking where another one was! :p She enjoyed that immensely! :D

Will do Marianne. At least my pointer stick is good for something.:D
