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…

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…

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…
Day three feels like nine hundred and twenty-one. I’m in so much pain I am not even hungry. Problem is I need to eat being on all these medications. The nerve block more than likely wore off today since it is only supposed to last 3 or so days. I stayed in the hospital overnight because I was in so much pain. I remember looking at the monitor and it was like 168 over something.…
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…
