In just a couple hours I will be headed down the hill with Schatzie to the vet clinic. Today is the day for her torn ACL surgery. Like most moms before their "kids" have surgery, I am nervous and anxious. I wish Schatzie could understand what is about to happen. The next two months will be stressful for the entire Bloy family. Her rehab will consist of limited activity, basically only being able to go out to relieve herself and numerous trips back to the clinic for laser treatment on the knee. The lack of activity will be the most difficult, especially for a German Shepherd who loves to go. She is extremely active and hates to miss anything her sister Gracie gets to do. We pray the next 2 months go quickly and without too many hiccups. We will muster through this and look forward to the days when Schatzie can walk and run freely with no pain. If all goes well, she will be back home later today.
So until next time, if you have a spare moment we would covet your thoughts and prayers for our girl. Now it's time to get the rehab ward ready!!
Val, R and Gracie
P.S. Gracie says Mahalo for all the Gotcha Day greetings--she enjoyed her day on the bed!!
Oh best wishes to Schatzie! I hope the surgery brings relief from pain and eventually back to running and playing happily!

ReplyDeleteI don't know if you follow The Thundering Herd http://thethunderingherd.com/2014/11/11/tplo-recovery-week-5-8/ but they have had two dogs recovering from the surgery. The Hu-Dad has done a really nice job of keeping a log of the daily progress of each dog. You might find it of interest :-)

Hope all goes well tomorrow and in the weeks to come!
ReplyDeleteI hope all went well today.... will be sending healing thoughts your way.... and here's hoping sister Gracie is patient with the healing process.
ReplyDeleteThose two months will seem like an eternity at the time but in four months, it will all seem to have passed quickly. We hope the recovery goes fast and well.
