HI Pals it’s good to finally post on dogster!!!
I’ve been away for quite some time… so I have lot’s to tell u all!!!
First off I’m so sorry if I missed any burfdays, or any important events…
if I missed something important please P mail me a quick update, I would love to be updated!!!
I guess I have much reading to do… P mails to answer, blogs to read, and posts to catch up on… *I hope mom does not kick me off the computer*
Before I left on my long trip with mom I went to see my heart surgeon… they claim that so far all is well, but not enough months passed since the operation for them to give mom a good answer, they do not know yet how much of a success my operation was…
For now things looked okay, but they will not have a concrete answer for me and mom for the next few months… as things have to heal better, and the scar tissue has to stay the way it is now *crosses paws*, for all to be well…
So fur now I will say my prayers that this time all will be furever well… and that my Pulmonic Stenosis can stay Mild to Moderate, and it never becomes severe again….
As far as the mild to moderate triscuspid regurgitation that was discovered (during my EKG/ULTRASOUND right after my last operation), that has not gone anywhere. They do not currently think that that will become a problem, but mom like always is concerned, and doing her homework on my heart.
She’s always asking questions, to every Vet, specialist, and person that she knows that can answer questions on heart issues…
She has had one specialist tell her (since the heart surgeon answered the question in a “nuteral” manner, the specialist was more honest…. He simply told mom that a triscuspid regurgitation occurs when a instrument may have pierced a hole in a valve… he didn’t want to say that they were responsible but he told mom this …..
“IF THEY HAVE DONE OVER 8 EKG’S/ ULTRASOUNDS ON CASPER THEY WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO, AND IF IT WAS NOTICED AFTER HIS SECOND OPERATION…. THANK I SUGGEST YOU USE YOUR IMAGINATION… AND YOU CAN THEREFORE FIGURE OUT HOW THE HOLE GOT THERE… (and since he’s had EKG’s done elsewhere they would have noticed that problem there too)”
Well they suspect that it may close… but that’s not a 100% guarantee… but they don’t suspect for it to cause me any problems…. At least that’s the best part of it….
On another NOTE ….i got some GOOD NEWS, I have finally been cleared to get neutered … so mom is looking to schedule a appointment for that…. *I’m scared*
The trip to Wisconsin took furever… it took 3 days to get there and 3 days to get back… I do have to say that I was a bit cranky in the car…. while everyone else slept, Lucky and i were More cranky than everyone else but mom managed…. (mom said traveling with 5 pommies in the car is not a easy task... what ever that means)...
Plus the heart vet gave mom med’s for my traveling purpose…. To keep me calm… even though I don’t think those yucky meds worked….
My favorite part was the drive… I got to stop every few hours and go for walks in new places.. that was the best part about it….
I actually didn’t like Wisconsin at all… it was cold… in the 30’s and 40’s … and there was Ticks everywhere..
Mom has us on revolution… and even that was not strong enough, then she bought frontline tick spray and that was not strong enough either…. We were in a cabin by the woods…. So the ticks were a HUGE issue … even though we got checked like 6 times a day… it was not enough….
I felt really bad for Lucky…. They loved him.. mom would always find some on him….
I think that by the time we left mom became a expert on taking them out….
Mom cut the trip short… and came home sooner… because my autie got diagnosed with breast cancer… so mommie has to help her out… But we do have to go back there for mom’s job… I sure hope it’s not anytime soon… I didn’t like it … all those ticks were hard to deal with! I think I rather deal with the Florida Flea’s … BOL…
That’s a brief update on my life lately…. It’s good to be back here…
Hope that u are all well… I missed u all so much
hope everyone was good to their mommies this weekend.. as we all know mommies have a big responsibility with us... we sometimes do things that we are not suppose to like brake stuff... or have accidents were we are not suppose to... throw up... get sick.... ect.. but our MOM's always know how to fix things... that's why i sure hope you were nice to your mommies this weekend... *and daddy's on fathers day*
I am progressing MOM says, she says i look good but does not want to comment too much on how i look until she get's a definite answer from the Heart surgeon on FRIDAY ... *grr* i got to be there like 5 hours ALONE .... i don't like that part... i'm really not liking that place much... i always get left alone.... *WOOF*
so MOM SAY'S she will write more on friday night letting you all know what's new, and what all the tests results say so far about the progress of my heart recovery....
also for all of you that have not seen much of us lately please forgive us.... our mama has been dealing with some tough things lately and work has her busy for about 16 hours a day... lucky that she works from home... so at least i get to sit there next to her while she works... otherwise I WOULD BE VERY UPSET...
NOT SURE if i told you all me and the rest of the GANG are going away with mom to Wisconsin for 6 weeks... mom has to go there for work...
we are so fortunate that her job let US POMMIES come... so at least we can see mom and not miss her like crazy.... NOT ONLY THAT mom says "i can't leave you guys..... I have to make them let you come..."
and she did.... *yeaiiiiii* .... so since we are going to be in a remote area, we are not sure if there will be internet access there... so if we don't come out to play much on DOGSTER and CATSTER that is why....
thank you all for keeping posted.... i will let u know what's new on FIRDAY ...
