Otis update, #2

Otis continues to heal well; in fact, he truly believes he is healed entirely and is totally DONE with the whole crate-resting thing. We're hanging on for dear life, trying to keep his knee surgery intact. There's no more money for another one!

Here are some snapshots of Otis in recovery, and his sutures:































Here's a slide show of some recent Otis pictures (before the knee surgery):

Otis update!

Otis had a check up on Friday and got a good report! The surgeon said that he couldn't be happier with his healing and after two more weeks of bed rest should be completely healed!! WOO HOO!!!! The hardest part in all of this (other that the cost) has been keeping Otis on bed rest and only using his leg a total of 10 min a day!! I'll keep ya posted!

NO MORE THURSDAYS

I have decided that I will no longer have Thursdays in my week. Thursday a week ago I was in the ER and then admitted because of awful abdominal pain....we found out yesterday that I have 2 ulcers. I have named one Nick and the other the children!!! Then on this past Thursday, my sweet little OTIS slipped in the kitchen (he was trying to get a treat from HAL) and chipped a part of his tibia. He had surgery yesterday and is in the pet hospital until Monday or Tuesday. It broke my heart to see my little fella in so much pain--his ears won't stand up he hurt so bad!! It has been so nuts around here. Nick said yesterday "I do have to go back to work sometime..." because he has been at the hospital and doctors apt with me and then at Vet visits with OTIS. I am ready for the calm..........if anyone knows how to get that let me know!! In all of this I have missed my brother and sister in laws birthdays-- so sorry guys!! We were thinking of you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
