My poor Hot Rod will be having knee surgery in the morning. When he had his right knee surgery, 4 1/2 years ago, we were told that he might have to have his left done down the road. He's been having some difficulty lately and the other morning he had trouble going down the 3 steps from the loveseat. His little knee has been slipping out and has caused him to not want to walk.
He's a little trooper. He still guards mommy from the squirrels in the back yard but when we try to go on walks he starts out and then sits down. His knee is at a grade 3 and he's been having issues with walking and going up and down the pet stairs as well as the back deck stairs.
We're going back to the same surgeon who did his right leg. He's wonderful and I have total confidence in him. If you could take a few moments and send some good thoughts and prayers, we'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
