Ruptured Tumor

Recovering at the folks and still a bit drugged

Been a month since my last post. Have been enjoying my time at the Casino's here in Tucson. Up until about a week ago, when I awoke in the middle of the night, and discovered that the tumor's on Candy's leg had ruptured I wont go into the gory details, but it wasn't a very pretty site.

Six weeks prior I had brought her to the vet, and they had told me just to let it go for now. She's approaching her 15th year they didn't wanna do a surgery, this late in the game unless it was necessary. Well now it had become necessary, so after a long surgery (4th on that leg). I am happy to report the old fart is doing good, and every once in awhile still even gets a bit rambunctious.

Moving on my winter plans mainly involve hanging around the Tucson area. Spending time with the family, paying off recently acquired vet bills, and " The Turtle" will be getting a few more upgrades. So stay tuned, and a Happy belated Christmas to all. Thanks for stopping by! Good Day!

  3. I had been worried the long silence here had to do with Candy's health. So happy to hear she is doing okay!

  5. I was also concerned about Candy with the long silence. Happy she has made it through another bump in the road.
    I drove out to the Casino a few times to see if you might be around. Do you also stay at Desert Diamond ?
    Let me know where you might be around here when you get back to travel mode.
    want2go60@yahoo.com. Give Candy a few pats from Fred and I.

    1. Hey Jo! Don't spend much time at the Desert Diamond mainly the south one if I do North is dam noisy :) I should be back up to the Del Sol next week. Ill Pat Candy on the head for you two. Fred may need a step stool to get up there.

  6. Ditto on the silence. Even if there is nothing to report, you usually show the beauty of the place or nature around you. Glad Candy is okay. I have two cats around here, and I had a recent vet bill myself, so know what you mean about paying it off. Nothing like a tumor, thankfully. Glad she is okay. As my neighbor says, she is a "tough old bird"! Glad she is hanging in there. Know you were missed. May 2014 treat you and Candy well.

  7. I'll be watching to see where you bounce. I've kind of written Tucson off (sadly), because I don't know about a lot of boondocking opportunities. Happy New Year!

  8. Hey you! Long time! I'm back in the southwest and may see you in Tucson, before too long.

    So sorry to hear Candy was hurting, but glad she's doing better.

    I'll be looking for you!
