Hello Zoo Family!

First, I need to thank each one of you for the well wishes, thoughts, prayers, virtual hugs, and anything else you have sent my way.

My surgery was December 3rd, and after a small tug of war between PT and the doctors, they decided to send me home the next day. With pain control I was able to jump through all the hoops that I was supposed to for physical therapy.

However, since I've been home, of course just like any significant surgery, things have definitely changed. This surgery, in comparison to that of 2 years ago, is a whole different ball game. My incision previously was approximately 2 inches long. My incision this time is somewhere between 9 and 12 inches long.

I am following all instructions from the doctors and physical therapists and doing everything that I possibly can to make my recovery a smooth one.

I did go to physical therapy today on an outpatient basis and found that I've lost a lot of function in my right leg. Hoping this is just a result of the surgery. But this makes recovery and healing quite more significant.

I was told the recovery would be similar to my last surgery which had me back in 4 to 6 weeks. However, I don't see me returning anytime near 4 to 6 weeks this time. I think I'm looking at more of 6-8 weeks. I need to make sure everything is where it needs to be and when I get all the clearances from my physical therapists and doctors, I'll consider returning to light work.

I'm going to follow every single last instruction given to me. I need the surgery to work and I need to live pain free from here on out.

And so I ask to please continue your understanding with Jenna manning the Ship of TVZ. So far she's doing a rocking job keeping everything together. It's not easy, by any means. And believe me as soon as I have any semblance of a return date even if it's paperwork / desk work, you will be the first ones to know. And so with your prayers and thoughts please send some of those Jenna's way as this is going to be a much longer time for her as well.

Please keep Jehna in your thoughts!!!

The Zoo Family is one of a kind, and I know with all of your support, absolutely anything is possible. And so again I thank you for all of your continued love and support.

I will be sure to put out an update right before Christmas so everyone knows where things stand.

Hello all!!! Quick update: my back surgery has been scheduled for Tuesday, December 3rd. This makes my last day at TVZ (until I'm healed and medically cleared) FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29.

Between 11/29 and mid-February, Dr Jehna will be in the cockpit, flying the The Vetting Zoo until I return.

Please continue to be understanding, as you all have already been. I'm trying very hard to fit in all my surgeries/dentals prior to going on medical leave.

During this time, if we feel we cannot adequately care for your pet, or fit them in for what we may consider an emergency, we will recommend an ER.

Our top picks, for multiple reasons and despite being further away, are Lancaster PETS and Mason-Dixon Pet Emergency.

Please formulate a temporary plan of action for these next few months.

I will work hard on rehabbing to take the best of myself, in order to return to take the best care of your kiddos!

Thanks for reading!!

Dr D

Below is Clyde. He will be keeping a close eye on me, ensuring I follow ALL Doctor's orders.

Words cannot express our gratitude to each and every one of you. From donations of $2 to $2500, and every single item that filled the TVZ garage, to those that donated time to help pack the trailers to those that donated the trailers to those that generated the Amazon Wish List.....to those who bought baked goods and anyone else that may have helped: you have all left a HUGE mark on all of our hearts.❤️❤️

The people and animals that we were able to help through your generosity were numerous. The people were beyond thankful, some reduced to tears. These are people that already have very difficult, oftentimes thankless jobs, and now, they are forced to try and put the pieces back together, starting with NOTHING. But that is where you all came in. We were able to deliver......

Thanks to you all, we collected and delivered heart, soul, love and a ton of support, with every single physical item.

Please know the impact you made will never be forgotten. ❤️❤️

11/11/2024

Madison County, another one of the hardest hit areas....only a few miles from here, roads are still closed, making rescue efforts very difficult.

The boxer pictured here was found in barbed wire, and the owner was not able to cover medical costs. Our group was able to help with those.....thanks to all your generous donations.

11/11/2024

Another stop on the way.....not just dogs and cats....farm animals need help, too!!

Dr D's Giraffe encounter at The Virginia Safari Farm!

Sending a huge shout out to everyone that has been so very supportive in my latest struggle. As many of you know, I was due to be out for 6 weeks after a spinal fusion. It was to start Feb 10th. However, this past Thursday, things went even more south, to the point of not being able to walk more than a shuffle. As a result, I have to take an early absence. Those of you who know me personally, know that I absolutely HATE letting people down. I HATE not being able to do my job. Above all, I HATE not being able to help people and their pets. But, I need to take care of myself. It's a hard thing to do, when I am always worrying about others and never putting myself first. I have realized, though, that if I do not do that here, I am worthless to so many in the future. I have the utmost faith in my team, from reception to technician to assistants to management to my partner, Dr Jehna. I know they will keep the zoo running, as always, providing the absolute best care possible. My plan is for surgery, recovery, then kicking ass when I am back in full swing. I am looking forward to pain free times of work and doing what I love: helping animals. And so, my apologies for tapping out a week early. And THANK YOU for all your well wishes and hugs and prayers! Either myself or my awesome team will update here, as I progress thru my surgery and recovery. Dr Diane
