Hurley's Day..hit a speed bump today...

 

Hello all my friends!! I hope you all have been doing good :) I have been waiting to get on here and tell you all how I am doing, give some updates and tell you some funny things I have done then it all changed today. As you can see in my picture, I am not very happy with my mom right now....

I was suppose to go in today and meet with my surgeon, Dr. Juan Marti this morning. He was going to look at my cysts and see if I am ready for my surgery. So they were talking and I am thinking about what I was going to do when I got home today, when I heard Dr. Marti say he could do the surgery today.....all of a sudden I stopped thinking about the squirrel I had my thoughts on and how I was going to chase him today...I was now listening in on the humans conversation. My mom said she was surprised that I was going in today for my surgery, but ready to get the cysts off my head. Dr. Marti said that he would perform the surgery late in the afternoon and call my mom when I am out. I mean, if I had known that I was going in for surgery, I would of made sure and went to all my spots this morning while I was being walked. My mom took me for a brief walk this morning thinking we would be right back. I didn't make her stop at all my favorite bushes, trees and street sign poles and let the rest of the neighborhood dogs know "Hurley was Here."

You want to know a secret? I have never been one night without my mom before. I was getting a little scared. I have my own bedtime routine, I have my own snuggling bed and toys. I would have to spend the night in the aftercare vet to be watched. I am wondering if they will have a tv in my room and if they will leave Animal Planet on for me, if I will have my own bed that is fluffy and soft, also get belly rubs and a treat before bed. I am wondering if they will do all that for me...My mom gave me kisses and said to be a "good boy" and she left........

 

The girls went to take my blood before surgery. They have to do this to make sure I am strong enough to get through surgery and be ok. They found out that my platelet count is too low. Dr. Marti called my mom and explained that they were low and I needed to go off my antibotics I am taking and be put on new ones. I need to be on my new antibotics for another 10 days. Dr. Marti and my mom agreed that surgery should wait. I was really close to getting my surgery, but I didn't get it today. They are hoping that with the new antibotics my platelet count will increase and I will get the "all clear" for surgery. Now, I have time to think about all this. I have time to prepare and get my "doodles in order"...I know on May 15th I go back for blood work and surgery. On that day I will make sure I get everything "checked off my list" before I go in to get the cysts removed. I was so happy when I saw my mom..I jumped up and gave her the biggest HUG...she took me home where I went straight to the water dish and drank all the water, ate my food and took the longest nap...I am so "doodled out"....what a day for us both.

I am still confused about all of the things going on with me, all I know is that my mom and family love me so much. My mom keeps telling me, that I will be ok and be able to go to the dog park in a couple of months. I am so ready to "ROMP" with my own kind, if you know what I mean!! I trust my mom with all my heart and know she will make sure I will be alright :) I am glad God put me with her and my family...it's like God knew what was going to happen to me and made sure he put me with my mom. He knew she would fight to the end of the earth to keep me healthy and live a long life!
