Jerry's adrenal and insulinoma surgery went well today. She seemed especially strong and alert this morning, which helped us feel optimistic as we dropped her off for surgery. Of course we were very worried, but she seemed to have a much better chance now than two weeks ago when she was so weak. Her adrenal tumor was on the left side, thank goodness, so it was easy to remove. She also had three insulinoma tumors and part of her pancreas removed. She is in a lot of pain tonight; I wish animals were given post-operative pain relief like human people are. We're going to keep her in our room tonight (despite my asthma) so we can check on her frequently. I hope she'll feel better and stronger tomorrow. We survived our first ferret surgery, thanks to Dr. Charles Weiss. His compassion, accessibility, knowledge, and skill are impressive. Clare and Bill Sebok [Posted in FML issue 1726]
