Jess,
That's nice that you are able to do this for Melissa. I think missing one day will probably be okay. You can post on Wednesday how she's doing rather than giving out her phone number.

Well she's probably in surgery as I write this, so I hope all is going well. At least she's asleep right now and completely unaware of time. That's the only "good" part of surgery. You close your eyes and it's over. I hate the waking up part, though. I hope they have plenty of pain meds on board when they wake her up!

Thinking of you, Melissa. I know you won't read this for a long while. But I know you eventually will!

((((hugs))))

i spoke to Marc...he said Melissa went into surgery about 7:30 Pacific time this morning...
i will be calling him tonite, and will post whatever he tells me...
tomorrow i will be at vet hospital, but will try to stay in touch with
Marc to see how Melissa is doing...

Thanks Jess, appreciate it.

Good luck with Sparky.

thanks for the good wishes for Sparky, Jen....

Marc reports that they operated on Melissa's mid back.... the idea
is it will help with the strain on her neck and hips...
i do not understand, but i am sure the explanation will be forthcoming
when Melissa is able to post for herself.
Marc has not been allowed to see Melissa yet....
he said she is in "recovery" and then will go to ICU...
he expects to see her in a little while....and i am to call him tomorrow.

i will be at vet tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. east coast time.
i will call Marc tomorrow, probably 9 a.m. CA time, but i will not
be posting anything until Sparky is done with his surgery and i
am able to return home...

So hoping Melissa's birthday wish for less pain comes true with this surgery! Thinking of you Melissa and hoping for the best outcome. Janet

Hopefully it's over and she's woken up with her pain well controlled.

I think Melissa was under the impression that she was having neck surgery. This will come as a surprise to her! I hope it works.

just spoke to Marc at 2 p.m. CA time...
Melissa is in ICU...all her lines are out...
she should be moved to a regular room soon...
she was not up to talking on phone yet, but i heard her
talking to Marc in the background, while i communicated with him...

i asked when to call back, and she said "tomorrow"
Marc said Melissa is doing OK until the pain meds wear out...
as long as the meds are on schedule, she is doing OK...

i will call them again tomorrow and see how she is doing, and
maybe find out why they operated on her spine instead of her
neck.
