Dinky is out of surgery. The surgeon called and said things went well. He had a completely torn ligament. He is a little stoic. Except or the yelp when he injured himself, no whimpering or crying. His appetite has been good. And yet, I kept telling DH, "I just know he hurts."
No pins were necessary. Two fiber lengths of fiber "fishing line" are in.
He said the staff told him Dinky seemed scared as he was waiting, which is hard to know, but I love the honesty. He told me he is giving the night nurse directions to hold him in her lap tonight! It's hard knowing this is hard on him emotionally, but I just remind myself that he is getting what he needs.
We are to call in the morning and should be picking him some time before 3 tomorrow.
Thank you all for caring and crucial information. We'll take our walk without our little guy tonight. I can hardly wait to hug him tomorrow. |
