I'm having internet issues today. Aaaaaaaargh!! I am not a patient person and this thing is sooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooow! It's driving me crazy, so I won't be on long. My home phone is through the internet, so the reception on that is very bad and I've talked so much on my cell today that it died, too.
Thank you everyone. I haven't had a chance to talk to the doctor about the brace yet for Lucy's neck. By the time I go back home the neurologist was headed back to her home in London, Ontario and the neurosurgeon won't be back in until tomorrow. Hey! Val, do you have a pattern for those neck braces you made Baby Bear? Or a photo. I could probably do something like that with Lucy. I wonder if I could have something like that ready by the time I pick her up? Or, if I need to get measurements first?
I did call this afternoon to ask how Lucy was doing and a vet tech told me that she "seems" to be in less pain than she was this morning. I don't like that "seems". It "seems" as if they are trying to placate me. I am debating whether I want to drive all the way back down there tomorrow to see for myself how she is doing or just wait until they tell me to come and get her which probably won't be before Saturday. I held her for quite a while this morning.
They did tell me that the pain was to be expected from the surgery, because of the severity of the injury. When they got in there and actually saw the extent of the damage, they were surprised she had even lived through the injury, let alone that she had also been walking around. |
