invisible airwave Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Even though I'm on a part time job from before covid, I'm one of the lucky ones who paid $105 less than you know who. Still, empathy for most especially Wesley Snipes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Rocky, my 13 year old lurcher (hound/lab mix) has a few bumps and swellings, but my veterinarian and I have only been concerned with two of them. One is on the right front of his chest, appears to be on his ribs, no big deal. The other was a fleshy mass growing five inches in front of his right rear leg. That second one is now slightly larger than a golf ball. Last week the vet, aware of my knowledge of canine health from my days of dogcatching, said he can remove both of them. But he wanted to do a biopsy of the lump on his chest, and said he'd call me advising of surgery, which he has done by a consulting vet that he sub-contracts. Got word from the vet today, and Rocky goes in for surgery on October 7. Rough estimate around $1700, which I can handle. Drop him off in the early am; likely pick him up late that day after he recovers from general anesthesia. To be continued... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been such an example of solace since losing Karen. He will sometimes just stand in front of my chair looking like "nah, don't need to go out or eat, just checking on you. You all right? Yeah, I miss her, too." He has had the bump on his chest for a while, and it hasn't gotten bigger. The Vet is playing safe. The growth by the bad leg is only 2-3 months old, and just hangs there. It's cold to the touch, so there's no blood circulating in it, but it was sort of fleshy. At first I thought is was a big abcess, and about to rupture. Yuck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I listened to a friend I first worked with almost 30 years ago, and who gave me great professional advice (Just make sure your shoes are tied and your fly is zipped and you'll be fine). I left my office and went sailing with him and another friend of his. We had a glorious day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krystal Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I missed 2 meetings last month because I didn't know how to use Zoom. I finally taught myself to do that today. Actually I watched 3 different tutorials on youtube and then scheduled a meeting with myself to see if it worked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's moving about gingerly, had to lift him up into the car. But once he knew he was home, he jumped right out. Hitting the water bowl pretty hard, and ate only a nibble of food (which the Vet said to go easy for tonight). He's on pain pills for a week, and goes back to get his staples removed in 12 days. So far so good. Edited October 8, 2020 by pjbear05 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is beginning to sniff around the wounded area, and I may need to put the Elizabethan Collar, aka The Cone of Shame, on him. He'll probably move about very carefully until the Vet removes the staples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
