Default Rebel had surgery this morning

I took him to the vet this morning for his luxating patellas. Left the house at 7:00 this am and got there @ 9:00 am. He was thoroughly checked out by the surgeon and had the surgery on his left leg @ 11:00.

The vet came out at 12:15 and said Rebel was waking up fine and had licked his hand. He had torn ligaments in the left leg where he tried to climb up on a bed a week ago along with the luxated patella. Vet said the groove the patella is supposed to slide in was basically non-existent in his left leg so he repaired the ligaments, made the groove deeper and tightened the ligaments that hold the patella where it's supposed to be.

He also said Reb's right leg patella is worse than the left, but because he was in pain from the torn ligaments it was better to do the left one today and when he heals from this, I will take him back for the right leg.

I had to leave him overnight and when I got home a few minutes ago Lucy went nuts because she doesn't know where he is

Please remember my little Reb in your prayers. I know he wants his Mommy
