As you know, I had surgery on
Tuesday, November 4.
I came home on Thursday.
We were so excited.
But I pooped in my crate two times when mom was
driving on the freeway.
We got home and I was resting.
Suddenly I threw up twice
The third time was blood and blood clots (enough to cover 1/2 a pee pee pad).
Back to the ER.
Mom was talking nerves, heart attacks, shaking etc.
My neurosurgeon said I most likely had a tiny ulcerated stomach due to meds and surgery and not to worry.
I needed to stop the prednisone asap.
Mom worried.
So $6 million pennies later
I'm home.
Fatty won't let me out of his sight.
He tries to lay by me and was actually nutty enough to sit in my jail.
CAUTION..........
PICTURE.....................................
Lumbosacral Spinal Surgery
So I have 33 blings on my back.
Doc said he has never seen anything like this and does not understand how I was walking or
doing pee pee or poopy on my own.
There is no place like home....
No place like home.
So...
meds....
Metroidazole
Sucralfate-belly stuff
Metoclopramide
Gabapentin
Tramadol once my Fentynal pain patch is removed
my regular Atopica allergy stuff
Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, good vibes
positive thoughts and ju-ju's.
Love,
Lily (& Edward)

Lily you look like you have a zipper in your back! You must rattle with all those pills. We hope they do the job and you'll be back to bossing Edward around soon. It's sweet that he's so concerned about you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you home safe and sound. It's so nice that Edward loves you and wants to take care of you. Hope you're jumping and playing in no time!
ReplyDeletexoxo Marjie
Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Oh Lily, you are such a strong and brave Dog! We are so proud of you for going through that!
ReplyDeleteLook at your back... I want to lick it better, but my person says this would not help. She says that sending love and wags and healing thoughts will help.
So today when we climbed up to the Top of the World, Cobi and I stood on the edge and we thought of you. We though of how brave and strong you are, and how quickly we want you to heal. We sent sooo much love your way - we hope you felt it!
That was special :)

ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥

Oh, Sweet Lily!!! We have been zipping around the country and not paying attention! We are SO sorry to hear you've had to go through all that!

So we're sending you some kitty purrs and your mom some kitty hugs.

So happy you are home and doing better. Take care of yourself and Fatty.
ReplyDeleteOh Lily. I'm so glad that you're healing. We have lots of experience with that surgery in our house. First there was our chocolate lab, Acadia, many years ago. Then, there was me. I have a scar just like yours is going to be (except that yours will be covered with fur). I hope that you keep on healing, with Edward and your mom taking gentle care of you. I know they will.
ReplyDeletecool, we both have bling
DeleteOH my dogness! I have never seen anything like that before. I hope you feel better very very soon! And your Mom does too!

Sending you healing vibes.
BIG (gentle) licks,
Wally & Sammy
Oh you poor Lily. We are so glad Edward is lying with you and we hope you will be healing soon.
ReplyDeleteLily, we are so very sorry we missed the news of your impeding surgery. We had no idea you had been feeling poorly or had to undergo this surgery. We are sending extra healing purrs and lots of love.
ReplyDeleteWow Lilly you brave girl! You are probably going to feel much much better now. Get some rest, get well soon. XX
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, that's some zipper you have there! I hope your back and belly feel better soon, so you can play again and stop scaring your mom.
ReplyDeleteOh Lily, you poor sweet baby girl. I'm so glad you are home sweet home and that Fatty - uh, I mean Edward is by your side to help take care of you. Poor Mother, she's been through so much. Prayers for a speedy and full recovery with no more drama!

Thank you my friends
ReplyDeleteOh Lily...we are playing some catch-up in Blogville and so sorry to hear all what you've been through. So sorry your momma got scared too (I would have as well). Rest up and heal well (that is some bling there) and let Edward wait on you. Sending hugs your way... xo
ReplyDeleteOh man, you poor little thing! We sure hope you will be fixed now and be able to really enjoy life. About peeing in the car...could it be your mom's driving?
ReplyDeleteLily, please know that you are in our prayers!!! And so is your mama. Our mom said that when we hurt, our moms do, too, so we'll say prayers for her, too!
ReplyDeleteIt's mighty sweet that your brother is looking out for you!
Cammie!
I'm not able to stop by and check on you as often as I would like, but I'm glad that you're doing OK.
ReplyDeleteSorry we weren't here when you came home. Its so hard to believe that you've had almost as much back surgery as mom. What a brave little girl you are. Love Dolly
