 Surgery on Tuesday
Hi,
Last Thursday I scheduled surgery for our little Max. The doctor said that both his knees were very bad, but the right the worst. He recommended surgery on the right asap. I asked if we could do both. He said yes but that it would be very hard on Max. He said he wouldn't be able to walk at all for awhile. I said my reasons for wanting both and he agreed to do both this Tuesday.
However, I kept reading and reading and decided I had picked our surgeon because he has done great surgeries on another dog (CCL), and called and talked to the surgical nurse saying I would prefer both, but I would rely completely on his decision. I am trusting he will make the right decision and consider that Max has active Lymes being treated, just had major dental surgery four weeks ago including 12 teeth having to be extracted before we adopted him three weeks ago and his age, seven or eight years old.
All of your opinions above really make me doubt my call to the surgeon. Please send good thoughts to Max on Tuesday. He is a doll, sweet and so loving. I would appreciate any advise to make him as comfortable as possible.
Thanks. I apologize if I made this all about me and Max, but this discussion was so right on as to our situation. I am so scared.
