My hea...You will survive this like everything else. My heart is with you. I love Ann's story. That is why I told you what I did in my e-mails so you didn't get that kind of surprise. Seriously I think the doctors don't go into it because they don't want to take the chance that we'll decide not to do the surgery. <br /><br />A dog could be a nice treat AFTERWARD. You said after, right? If you decide to get a pug make sure you get a grown one who's okay. My friends pug needed $2000 sinus surgery so it could breathe. Yikes. You don't need any additional breathing problems.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092188894818322564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834405754301414360.post-59972456581369138112011-02-01T23:11:53.989-05:002011-02-01T23:11:53.989-05:00Ugh, Ugh, Ugh and TRIPLE Ugh....the thought of the...Ugh, Ugh, Ugh and TRIPLE Ugh....the thought of the cast and the logistical nightmares has got to be exhausting.

You are right, you can handle it a...Yes on the dog! You are right, you can handle it and it will be good for everyone.<br /><br />As for the body cast/transport issue ... can I just say that I think your surgeon should have given you all this information at the time you were discussing the surgery with her. Not that it would change whether or not you have the surgery, but it is important freaking information. I can empathize with you because when Jack had his spinal fusion surgery, I wasn't told until after surgery that he would require a body brace that would go down to his knee on one side. I wasn't prepared at all. Fortunately (??) Jack had complications post surgery, so I had time to get a fully reclining wheelchair ordered and those EZ-on straps ordered (that, I had to figure out I needed on my own!). I was so mad at my ortho. Poor Jack had to travel 1500 miles post surgery(St. Louis to Phoenix) literally strapped to a matress on the floor of our van because the back seat of the van wouldn't work. What a nightmare.<br /><br />Okay, sharing my story won't make you feel any better. This totally, one-hundred percent sucks, especially for Harlie because she is used to being mobile. How do you even prepare her for this? Geez .... <br /><br />Hugs,hugs and more hugs my friend. I think a lot of alcohol is in your foreseable future (in moderation, of course :)<br /><br />Love ya,<br />AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834197308019791700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834405754301414360.post-87957168012977803542011-01-31T16:23:06.205-05:002011-01-31T16:23:06.205-05:00Oh my word.

I think the puppy you picked is ADORABLE. You are right, you can handle ANYTHING. <br /><br />I tried to use your contact me button but it gives me a pop up about setting up some email thingamajigger and I am honestly too darn lazy to do it. lol. That translates into- I don't know how. Anyhow. My email is dianelynn2004@msn.com if you ever feel like emailing.Just Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113624845197503655noreply@blogger.com
