no reprieve It's been five weeks and two days since I ran over the masked heeler. Five weeks since her surgery. It's been four weeks and two days since she came home. It's been four weeks and two nights since I've slept with my wife. Won't sleep with her tonight, either. The masked heeler is doing well. Vet was quite impressed by her walking, and her muscle tone. But he figured it was too soon for the "final" x-rays. Said we could have them taken, but he knew what they would show. Good bone healing, but not yet complete bone mass. So no x-rays. And he wants us to keep her on restricted movement (on leash outside, and staying off the furniture) for two more weeks. Okay, Doc, whatever it takes. He's being a little conservative. Hazel, the beagle who had the same pelvic surgery the same night, was in last week. Rebroke her pelvis, just because she was feeling so good, and acted like it. Didn't require surgery, but it set her bone growth back a week to ten days. So, two more weeks in the sleeping bag on the living room floor. Two more weeks before we can set the Christmas tree up in the house. Oh, I got the Doc to violate patient confidentiality. JoJo is doing good. She's learned to do without her left front leg, just has to get her hip healed up. Just like our heeler. |
