I'm on my way!!

Well, surgery is in 3 days. So excited and nervous at the same time. I had to put my dog down last week, he was my cuddle puppy. Whenever I was sick he wouldn't leave my side. 4 months ago the vet gave him 2 weeks to 3 months max. So as my surgery was getting near and he was doing well, I was really looking forward to recovering with him at my side. However last week he took a turn for the worse and I had to make the most gut wrenching decision of my life. So,needless to say I'm not gonna have him at my side. At least not physically.

I have 2 other friends who have had this surgery in the last few months. Both with complication. So it's hard to overlook that. But I'm quite happy I have Dr. Andrew as my surgeon.

Wish me luck!!

good luck.  sending good vibes your way

Hope all goes well with your surgery. Sorry to hear about your dog - they are the only friends we have that love us no matter how we look or feel. I know my little guy always knows when something is wrong and stays close to whoever is upset.

Good Luck!

I'm curious to know what complications your friends had

Good luck TJLJ.  I have had to do that with my 2 dogs.  one I had for 14 years,  and the last one we had for a year. Last one had cancer when we got her (she was a rescue dog).   I feel your pain.   I hope your surgery goes well. Barb

You mention complications that your friends experienced. What kinds of complications? How far post op were they? What happened to them? Who were their surgeons? Where did their surgeries take place? Good luck on your surgery date!
