Hi Marci,
So sorry Layla will be going thru surgery.
I found that it was very helpful to have someone with me when we picked Hot Rod up. I lost all attention when they brought him into the room and he lept into my arms. lol Seriously, I would write down these questions so all will be answered to your understanding.
What type of pain meds; how long will she need to take them; what to do if she seems to be having trouble taking them-upset tummy or not eating;
what type (extent) of physical activity can she have---or not have;
when can she start any type of physical therapy, if any;
can she do some water therapy down the road;
These are some of what I can think of for now. We had to stop Hot Rod's pain meds as he was not eating due to them upsetting his tummy. The surgeon felt he had residule from the surgery and the few days that he was on it that it was okay to do so.
Good luck and please let us know how Layla is doing. Hugs. Bo |
