Sorry I didn't write yesterday but I was SOOO tired when I got home from the doctor. Yesterday the nurses came in and told me that my mom and dad were here to get me and that I would get to go home in about ten minutes. One of them had to give Mom and Dad directions about how to take care of me and you all know my mom...she had a thousand questions to ask so it took a little longer. Anyway, the nurse came to get me and I limped out, said a quick hi to Mom and Dad and headed to the door. I figured there would be plenty of time at home to get updated on all the last couple days happenings. I had to get out of that place before they decided to cut me open again!
Anyway, we got home and after they finally figured out how to get me out of the car we went inside and I headed for the back door to go get those stupid squirrels out of my backyard. For some silly reason Dad wouldn't let me out there. I wasn't too happy but I was really tired so I went and laid down on my bed. They tried to get me to eat but I was just tired that I wasn't even interested in my cookie bones! I slept for a couple hours and Mom and Dad were really nice to scratch my ears and head while I was sleeping. At about 10:30 they made me get up and go outside and go to the bathroom. It was so nice out (30 degrees) that I just wanted to lay outside in the front yard but Dad made me go back inside. Then they took me in the guest bedroom to go to bed. They had taken the mattress of the bed and laid it on the floor so I'd have a soft bed to lay on. Dad slept with me all night long!
This morning mom got up with me and took me outside to go potty again. She still wouldn't let me stay out but she did move my dog bed to in front of the door so I could see out at least. I've spent most of the morning taking naps but thought I'd update you on what had been going on.
I'll put some pictures on here of what my leg looks like. It looks pretty good but if you have a weak stomach you may not want to look at the last few. Thanks again for thinking about me this week! I'm doing ok but sure hope I get better soon!!!
Love, Doc
Me headed home from the hospital
My leg
My leg again. You can see my sutures a little in this picture.
Close up of my sutures. I'm trying to be really good and not lick them because then I have to put the "collar of shame" on but man are they itchy!!!
