And in other-um-important news....the TSA has put out an important PSA for those people flying------"stop hiding animals in weird places on your body and then trying to sneak them through airport security.”

So here is a piece of trivia for you. The boy who played Charlie in W***y Wonka and the Chocolate Factory left acting to become a Veterinarian.

W***y Wonka's Peter Ostrum chose life as a small-town veterinarian over Hollywood fame after his iconic role as Charlie Bucket

Hoping to be back to work the week after next. Thank you to everyone who sent cards, texts and emails. I was overwhelmed with your kindness.

I had honestly thought that I was having intercostal nerve pain because I have had back issues and was going in for R.F. Ablation of my lumber spine. But the pain was putting me to my knees and I was occasionally vomiting from the pain. My wife THE DOCTOR!!!!!! kept telling me it was my heart and I was stubborn and insisted it was my back (in my defense the symptoms for a heart attack and intercostal nerve pain are very similar and I had no pain radiating into my jaw or down my arm----plus I tried to hide the pain from her so she wouldn't worry). Finally after 2 weeks I could no longer stand the pain and we went to the ER.

It was there when we discovered I had had a heart attack. In less than 36 hours I had open heart double bypass surgery. Dr Purewal (an amazing man) was my surgeon. I was surprised he did the surgery on July 4th and even rescheduled someone else's surgery because of his concern. After surgery it seemed like he came by 4 to 6 times a day to check on me. All the nurses at Adventist Health downtown were absolutely amazing (bar the one who was removed from my care within an hour but we won't talk about her). They were some of the kindest, most understanding people I have met in a long time.

One of the things that amazed me was Adventist allowed Jenny to come see me preop. She spent time with me in the bed and it was so calming to spend time with my rescue dog who was now returning the favor. I could literally feel calmness and my blood pressure drop as I petted her.

The love my wife has for me was again shown in her daily visits, her help with questioning everything about the care I was receiving (she stopped one nurse who was about to inject meds into the wrong port). We had to close the practice for a short time and we appreciate everyone for understanding.

The only thing I really hated was the fact they shaved almost the entire front of my body. However, the fact that I am here to state that, way outweighs that discomfort.

A huge thank you goes out to Summer for working extra hours and making changes to her schedule. Also Sue and Kristy (past employees), thank you for all your extra help, we could not have continued providing care to our patients without your help.

Again, thank you for your kindness and your understanding. I truly believe, as always, we have the absolute best, most caring clients of all the Vet Hospitals in Bakersfield. You truly are a one of a kind :)

So i want to start off by apologizing. Over the next few weeks we may be closed unexpectedly and returning calls may be slower than normal. Jenny and Romeo will not be at work but will be home.

I have been having multiple heart attacks for the last two weeks. I expect to have double bypass open heart surgery this Saturday. Hoping to be home by weeks end.

For faster service, please email us at [email protected].

Thank you

Update: They moved sx to 1pm today because they said mine was a very complicated surgery, in part due to my liver transplant. And Jenny came to the hospital to give me comfort.

Update #2: We will be closed July 7 and 8th.
