DARN....will I ever have a BD when I am not in an emergency room or undergoing surgery? THIS IS GETTING TO BE A VERY BAD HABIT. On 10/12 /13 I turned 3 yrs old and am still a mere pup. I had torn my left ACL and had it repaired on 10/10. OUCH! Dr Benson did provide excellent pain management and I came home the next day for rehab. Mom finally got this sorted out and is working on a system to provide me the best care a pup could ask for. I am young and energetic so keeping me quiet is a daunting task. Don't fret...we did celebrate my BD before surgery. Mom would never let me go without.
Finally I ditched the "collar of shame" and had the staples removed on 10/23. I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The wound healed nicely and on 11/29 I had my 6 week rads done which show excellent healing. The bigger problem however is I need to have the ACL on on right hind leg repaired and that is happening on 12/10. BUMMER AND JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS. I can only hope Santa will be extra generous. I have been a very good pup....most of the time. It had been predicted that this ligament would need repair but they could not say exactly how soon this would occur. I did give this some thought and it's a blessing it happened now rather than six months hence. My rehab will be only six months long and not 12. I am estimating by June I should be off leash and playing with Sir Tucker, my very best pal. We are so sad that we have to be separated ad infinitum. Think about it. Six months is a long time in a pup's life.
With mom's help we are making the best of a bad situation.
Mom is showering us with attention and great beef marrow bones to help ease the pain and suffering. Tucky gets car rides but I can only have one when I go to my vet. Who would think that going to visit your surgeon would be the highlight of your social life? That is one scary thought. I'm a girl on the go. Not cut out to be lame and tame. I HOLD STRONG TO THE BELIEF OF WILD AND FREE!
