These past few weeks have been crazy. Since getting out of the hospital I have been on a scheduled medication every four hours. I have been waiting for an appointment the see the surgeon (again). Not only the neurosurgeon but the surgeon that will be doing the ankle replacement. That appointment had to get postponed since the other issue showed up recently. I imagine that I will end up having to have another spinal fusion…

His first words were, it’s not good. We kind of already prepared ourselves for that. He is referring her to the same orthopedic surgeon that did Chewy’s hind legs. This appointment is kind of a second opinion as he would like to see if there…

Well…. her injuries are a bit more extensive. Her left hind knee/joint was completely shattered. Her left hind leg is shorter than the right. She can’t straighten that leg assuming at this point because of her knee/joint. Forgive the terrible image. We scheduled…
Originally posted 2021-11-12 08:40:00. I had an appointment with an orthopedic doctor yesterday. This was for my shoulder/shoulder blade part of back/down my arm issue I wrote a post about. I had it in my mind this was just a muscle issue. I guess this also kind of explains why everything I’ve tried to use to ease the pain didn’t 100% work. I went by myself since I didn’t think this appointment was going to…
Chewy is now home. Day one starts now. In surgery they discovered he had a full ACL tear as well as his meniscus. They had to take out half of his meniscus. As you can see he is in a lot pain but hopefully we get him home and get him settled then he can rest. We have his medications filled and will get him on a schedule. For now we have his old Amazon…

JOIN THE CUDDLY CLUB AND HELP INJURED ANIMALS!! So if you have been following me for a while you may remember I had been waiting for Chewy’s next surgery to get scheduled. I do not know what the problem was at the place I had been taking him, which was the one that had done every other surgery on Chewy. Now the previous vet office is supposed to send the money that remained in his…
Originally posted 2019-08-30 07:35:48. Ughh… what’s the deal with knees in this house?! Chewy’s other leg/knee had something shift yesterday. I think it’s possibly the metal pin in there because it is common for the pins to dislodge. His other leg/knee did the same thing just pushed way out,almost pushing through the skin. Since it’s not pushing through the skin and he is still walking semi-normal we have an appointment Tuesday. Let’s hope it stays…
Originally posted 2018-02-16 21:23:51. My husband started his physical therapy this week. It is for the shoulder injury he sustained while he was deployed several years ago. While the therapist was doing his consult he mentioned dry needling. I have heard of it but wasn’t really sure what it entailed. Surprisingly my husband agreed to try it. – he’s such a baby when it comes to stuff like this, lol. It’s funny considering all the shots they…
