Originally posted 2024-03-19 10:00:00. 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…
Originally posted 2019-06-27 17:50:44. Well… it’s not a good report. I met the veterinarian at his office and they handed me a computer disc. Which I knew what that meant. 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…
Originally posted 2023-04-25 12:09:58. 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…
Originally posted 2023-04-14 10:44:30. Chewy’s surgery date is now set! He will be going in for his surgery April 24th. Please keep him in your thoughts as that day approaches.

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…
I needed to get my dentist appointments done and over with. My husband had his scheduled and we went with him for moral support 🤣 They threw me on the schedule real quick and then as I was updating my paperwork come to part of the paper and it asked if I pre-med. I thought it was talking about medical school 🤣 So I got up and asked someone and well… it apparently it applies…
I don’t think in my upwards of 40 surgeries I’ve seen my scars or sutures peel like this. I have put some of my Miracle Oil on it twice a day in hopes it lessens their appearance. The pain is definitely improving from the beginning. I have to wear a boot when I am up and around (which to be honest ain’t much). My boots have airbags 🤣. The turn dial (A) switches the control…
As we were hanging there in the waiting area I lost my balance…and… BAM. I caught myself with the “bad foot” Split second reaction. Then I reached for my husband and latched onto him THAT SHIT HURT!!!! I wanted to scream like a mf’r in a room full of people. I burst into tears. Thankfully my surgeon didn’t think I damaged anything. In two weeks I get this cast off, xray, then they are supposed…
