Sean - I found this dog walking service that might work for you. Your dog can stay at home and the walkers will stop by, periodically. That way, your dog can remain in a familiar environment until you return from your procedure. You might want to start the service now so she understands this is a person you trust.

Susan Lynn They also offer extended stay services if you want someone with your dog all day and/or all night. I'd bet they'd be willing to do some Facetime with you to ease your mind during your hospital stay. Hope this works out for you!

Sean Coast Susan Lynn, thank you, I will look into them and others.
Wondering whether you've made any headway in moving toward your surgery, Sean? Hope so!

Sean Coast Hello, thank you for asking. Tomorrow's was cancelled due to illness. I've been rescheduled for the 27th of this month. I am looking into a couple of other places while this is going on though. Did you resolve your issue from November?

Catie B I'm so glad to hear you're scheduled for your surgery! Sorry you've been unwell, though! I trust you've been able to find someone to help with your dog while you're in the hospital. Keep taking care of yourself...
My issues are going to take real time to resolve, unfortunately. Very complicated. Thanks for your concern, too.

Sean Coast I'm still looking for a baby sitter for my dog. Today I was walking my dog in the snow. I looked down the street and how close one of my former walking destinations was, but I knew I didn't have the strength do make it and I'd only do damage to myself if I tried, so I walked home. Yes, I'll be glad to get this issue taken care of.

Catie B Please hurry and decide and get it booked, Sean! Don't let this linger. God forbid, if you have another health crisis between now and your surgery, you'd be out of commission with no care in place. No one wants the surgery you've set up to get derailed. You matter, your life and health matter. Susan offered a great option. There are additional dog sitters/walkers with reviews on rover.com. If you'd rather use a vet, many offer boarding. Hope you can make a solid choice right away. Please! Sending care and concern...
Sean Coast Thank you for the reminders not to let of this until the surgery is done. I am feeling weak.

Sean Coast Hello Catie B, thanks. I was just thinking of the Captain Kangaroo cartoon character that at this point would be yelling "Please, Mr Wizard? I want to go home." I just hope the medical staff aren't already celebrating the holidays.

Thomas Brusstar I'm sure they will still be fully staffed and alert if they scheduled a surgery.
The nursing staff will probably be extra cheery at the holidays. My wife snapped her tibia skiing in Wyoming/Idaho on New Years Eve a few years ago, and needed surgery to put a metal rod in her leg. Having surgery first thing on New Years Day doesn't sound like a good time for an alert medical staff -- BUT we were at a hospital in rural Idaho where they were all Mormon. At least we knew they weren't out drinking the night before!

Sean Coast Thank you, each of you, for the reply's, I'm scheduled in less than two weeks but I'm feeling so weak I'm not sure I'll make it that long. Their office has called to see how I'm doing. They said my two recent trips to the ER were cardiac related and it should have been done then. The Dr. hadn't given me a consultation at the point though, only my cardiologist was contacted, not the surgeon, at least that's what I'm guessing anyway.

Catie B I'm sorry it's gone on so long. Do what you have to, to save your life--and if that's another ER trip or a hospitalization before your surgery, so be it. Have you put your medical info into your wallet, so it's available in case of emergency?

Hi Sean. I am reaching out to my family and friends in the Medford area to find resources for your dogs. I had my aortic valve replaced and it has been amazing. Recovery went a lot faster than expected and now I’m hiking, boxing, running , bike riding etc. No more dizziness. Get in there and get your heart fixed. The docs really have this down pat. They had me walking the next day! Please reach out directly if I can help in any way. Kevin.shack@gmail.com.

Sean Coast Thank you for the response. People keep telling me how much better they feel after surgery and I keep wanting to experience it for myself. Up until recently I was doing a very high level cardio (a lot of good that did me) workout plus weights. Now I'm way too weak. A lake walk with my dog that used to take 30 minutes at the most now takes 60 minutes. My dog is very important to me and she doesn't take it wall when I'm not there. I also posted this on the website but I'd decided to email too in case you hear of anything. Does your family know anything about the Medford area surgeons?

Hi Sean, sorry to hear about your experience. If you decide to try it again, you can close your eyes and think of pleasant things. It works wonders. Before you know it, the test will be over. Also, there are some clinics that have an open MRI that are used to accommodate claustrophobic patients and children. Take it easy on yourself. Feel better.

Sean, try to stay focused. It is very difficult to wrap your head around heart surgery. Just remember, when you wake up, the risk will be over. Let this become your mantra. It will help you a lot. After that, it is on to recovery.
