The Life of Chance

I had surgery today...

I found out that my UTI turned into a bad case of kidney stones and my bladder was the size of a bowling ball when it wasn't supposed to be any bigger than a golf ball. I had 7 kidney stones inside my bladder and one lodged inside my urethra causing blockage. The vets told me and my mommy that I wouldnt live another day without a $4000 surgery because my bladder would burst and the toxins would kill me. It was a miracle I survived a month and a half of excrutiating pain and not being able to pee. But $4000 just wasnt in the cards, especially with the whopping $2000 mommy spent on me when the other vets misdiagnosed me. It was a risky surgery for me due to my age, and possibly toxins in my body and going under anestesia could kill me. We found Dr. Andrix in St Cloud who did the surgery for me for only $1500. The surgery was a success, my mommie and family and friends prayed for me and the doctor said it was a pure miracle I was able to have such a high pain threshold with being such an old guy...my blood tests were suprisingly good due to my age and condition. They don't call me Chance for nothing!! I get to come home tomorrow and be with mommy and family, can't wait! Please continue to pray for my recovery as god really does answer your prayers, as I am living proof! It will be a long recovery process for me since the lining of my bladder is as thick as cardboard from being sick for so long and misdiagnosed. I will be so happy to lift my leg and mark my territory full stream again! Thanks for caring. Woof Woof
