She was really hungry when she came home- she has had some food and some pumpkin treat to get the Tramadol down. Now she is in her buggy, napping. I feel a bit overwhelmed with being afraid of hurting her. Picking her up is hard because she whimpers. They said the Tradadol tends to make them sleepy so hopefully she will sleep for a while as a figure out what to do next!
Her incision looks good. A bit red and swollen. They gave us an ice pack to do ice therapy. I'll probably do that once she wakes back up. I can't imagine her enjoying it! We'll see!
I'm just SO happy to be home! |
Glad that Layla is doing okay. She'll probably be out of it for a couple of days. I know exactly how you feel about picking her up. I was so afraid to hold Hot Rod and would only do so when sitting down. I couldn't quite get my arms around him as the leg he was operated on was the one he always laid up against me. I had to hold him totally different and it was hard to do. Poor hubby had the duty of carrying him to potty.
I remember that Hot Rod ate right after surgery and then loss his appetite for a couple of days. The surgeon wasn't too alarmed about it but thought that maybe the pain meds were upsetting his tummy so he took him off of them as he said Hot Rod had them in his system and should be okay.
I'll keep sending good thoughts and prayers for an uneventful and speedy recovery for Miss Layla. I know how relieved you must be to have her home with you.
Hugs.
