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

[Squirt's Mom]

Hey Trish,

I always look at those sort of folks like this - they are simply missing something that we have...and we are the lucky ones. I KNOW there is a soul in these fuzzy little bodies, a heart, a mind, a rich emotional life - a Being worthy of devotion and the deepest love. I also KNOW these little beings return our feelings in spades - they love us, adore us, protect us, and sometimes fight to stay with us in the face of insurmountable odds. Folks like your co-worker are lacking this ability to recognize the value in life other than human - they are lacking the thing that allows them to love and be loved as we all here are. THEY are the broken ones, the delusional ones, the empty ones.

Yes, we are the lucky ones, no question about it. So don't let them get to you and instead try to find some sympathy for these poor folks. Just look at all they miss!

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

that is awesome news. do they have all the technology available to monitor it carefully and be prepared for any lows and or highs?
and on the woman at your work place. I would have said....aweee, come here, i am sorry you would make such an ill uneducated uninformed decision on a life. Obviously you are making your opinion known, every one is entitled to their own, but my decision is not only opinion based.......it is being well informed, educated, decision and being the best advocate i can possibly be for something that has no voice and is often left vicitum to humans like yourself. My situation is stressful, but going forth together, your situation is just sad....
hope your day today was good, and hope your inbox didnt have to many icky emails.

Wow! His BP came down fast. Great news!!!! So glad to hear this.

I am definitely thinking about you and Flynn. I can only imagine your excitement and fear mixed together right now.

I hope you had a good day and you didn't have any nasty e-mails waiting for you today.

I will be checking in throughout the weekend.

Hi all

Home from work now, officially on two weeks leave to nurse this little Flynny back to good health

I was pretty surprised too Ro when local vet txt to let me know results! My parents took Flynn to vet today for his BP check so I have not seen him much today, but he is tired and resting a lot. He was still a little shaky last night, so I did not expect it to be this low. He is alert and hungry, but with a result like that and then take in his usual stress levels at the vet, I think his BP at rest is likely much lower!!

I phoned the university to see what time he has to there on Monday, 9.30am... and I also asked about fasting him. Receptionist went and asked the surgeon and she told me he is going to phone me back. I really want to ask him about continuing the drug at this dose as I don't want Flynn to start passing out!! His dose is now 2/3 higher than it was earlier in the week.

Skye - I asked about postop monitoring when I was there on Tuesday, surgeon told me he will be fully monitored and have an arterial line in so I am happy about that.

Ro, you got that feeling of hope an fear in a nutshell it is exactly how I am feeling. But I am going to read my signature a bit more often and focus on the positive

My nephew Luke is a journalist for a newspaper, he sent me a msg today to check how Flynn is doing. He said he was talking in his newsroom about Flynn and the lengths we are going to treat him. His chief said it sounded like a nice story to do a pictorial on and they want to send a reporter to speak with me and get photos of Flynn! I am not sure though, people already think I am a crazy dog lady haha so I think a story in the paper may just confirm it

Will keep you all informed, last weekend at home for furry Flynnykin before he returns all healthy!!
Trish xx

Your posts made me a bit teary... mind you everything does lately I am totally over that insenstive witch, I have not seen her since. I was meant to be at the Christmas dinner she arranged tonight... but I have cancelled. Not because of her, but because time with my boy is precious this weekend! Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, your all lovely xx

I have heard back from surgeon, despite BP he is to have full tablet tonight and again in the morning then stop as he said receptors would be fully loaded. Nothing to eat from Sunday night but to have water available at all times.

OMG it is getting a little too real now! Stomach in full on fluttering mode

[cheydogger]

Oh, Trish.... I can only imagine how you are feeling right now. Yes, it is getting all too real as Monday is approaching. Gosh, I wish I could be there with you.

Maybe I missed this part, but did the vet give an opinion as to what type of tumor he thinks Flynn has.... Pheo vs. cortisol secreting adrenal tumor? I know high BP is very common in pheo's, but from what I have read,it can also be present in Cushing's disease.

Thinking about you. Big hugs.
