June 20th: Day of the SURGERY
Gawwwwwd I was freakin nervous. If you guys don't know already, I am very nervous when it comes to hospitals, even if it's not me who's getting a checkup or whatever. I just feel very weird/eery in places like this. I'm not scarred of needles, knives, or anything, it just makes me nervous.
The nurse says that she will at least be staying overnight w/ them... problem is, she's never been alone anywhere w/out me or my dad/mom. She get's very scarred & anxious. I know she's going to be in good hands, but I can't stop worrying about her. It's been 9 years now that I've had her. I got her when she was barely 3 weeks old. She's my little darling.
I wanted her to have her buddy, PenPen but they didn't allow it ಠ_ಠ
Ain't she cute?! She turned 9 yrs old on June 4th ♥
I had to wake up @ 6 a.m. to get ready
and make sure I get my wallet & documents for her. Then leave to get her at the vet's by 8 a.m.
June 21st: RETURNING HOME
I went to pick up my baybie at 12pm. Poor thing! She has a funnel (cone thingy)
on her so that she doesn't scratch/mess up her sutures & take off her med patch.
She needs to be mellow, but not depressed. No jumping, running, very little walking.
When I saw her I almost cried! She was whining & crying when she saw me.
I was surprised the surgery & meds all together was only $1,800.
♥ I'm so happy she's home! Although it was a hard choice,
I know that I made the right choice for her to have this surgery.
My parents & I argued everyday until the surgery day. Omma didn't want
her to have the surgery cuz of the pain afterwards, but Appa & I wanted her to, or else
she won't be able to play or walk the way she used to. She's too cheerful & outgoing to
just sleep all day. ♥
She has 3 meds to take everyday. Cephalexin, Rimadyl, & Tramadol
for pain, swelling, & infection.
Genie (8 yrs old) waiting in the truck w/ Omma to see her big sis.
She was crying & whining becuz she was so excited to see her sis ♥
This is when I just got her... the vet brought her out & went over the meds/things I have
to do for her rehab. She's still drowsy from the anesthetics. She will be all day.
( ゚,_ゝ゚) Look at her poor butt!!!!
It's half shaved off. Only the right side is shaved off.
Mann! I just can't imagine the pain she's in!
On her left leg, they put a morphine patch to help with the pain.
Finally home! She was crying the whole way home! ( ̄へ ̄)
But she was happy to see her little sis, Genie. Genie was also super happy.
Fight-oh! ♥♥♥
Will do my best on her rehab!
I'll be updating on her alot from now on.
Glad your baby's condition's ok now.
