This is a specialist hospital and I really should have asked the surgeon. I asked the tech if I could just bring him home same day and she said they don't like to do that. I could kick myself for not talking to the surgeon about options. I will leave a message in the morning asking for him to call me. Normally he does not call the day of surgery....another vet does the calling...and I don't see him until the follow up appointment. He may totally understand and let me bring him home. If not, I will just have to live with it and pray that Matty will be so doped up he won't know. I will be there the next day for sure.
I could not stay in the morning anyway.....it is 45 minutes from my home and I have to get home to feed my other pups. We will be leaving early as Matty has to be there at 7:00AM
Thank you for the prayers.  |
Well, we'll just pray all the harder for Matty to be ok.
Talk to him, and I believe he will understnad you-tell him how much you need him. Our morning mass begins at 8, and I will be in the Sacristy by 7:10 setting up, so I will put him before the Lord.
