Surgary time, TODAY, see ya when I get back!

Tedy...here's wishing you a speedy recovery. And, don't go automatic just yet!

 

Thanx everyone

Talk about La,La land last nite, it took me fore ever to type that small post!

The dogs knew, talk about magor sniffing my leg! I was woried about Rascal jumping on my lap but he was completly melow around me. I slept in a chair last nite and both dogs did'nt move from my side. But at 5:AM I got the good morning nudge/lick. I still did'nt feel anything, but now I feel it....OUCH!!

I'll definetly be doing alot of staring at the cars for awile, I can't bend the football perioud. Getting around the house is pritty eazy though. The computor chair is on wheels and the entire house is hardwood. I have a similar chair in my shop so at least I can hang out in the drive way etc.

No Bionic knee but I really do have to be carefull, I have a Bionic back alwready and rite hip problems along with the left knee problems. I got busted up good, REAL GOOD a few years back. I was out of comition for over 2 years and had to learn to walk again. So I'm all to familuar with spong baths and the challange of getting on and off the potty


Sooo, this is what they did to me this time...

What they found was, both the Medial and lateral Meniscus were torn and some Cartalige was floating around. Cartalige was removed, damaged meniscus was trimmed, and the rouphend lining was smoothed

 

ooooooo

NASTY

I was wondering your dog in the bottom picture , on the left, is he/she a long hair shephard?

 

Good Eye fannie, yes he is a long hair. We know alot of his history, Papered Parents (breaders), who sold him to a very too young couple..............

He was'nt treated very well, he's a rescue dog, he's my bestist friend

 

The morning 'dog-howdy', that's a riot! So you're their Lap dog, for a while.

Thanks for the explanation and pics. It'll help me respect my knees a lot more.

 

A speedy recovery to you Tedy!

(down on yer knees)

So Tedy, any nurses who are phoning to see "how you are doing"?

Ugly stuff what you've been through.

Just think, the New You will soon be over your severe case of Knee'sils and back out roaming the roads for wagons.

 

Yeah Norm, no alarm clocks needed around here

Thanx 90

LMAO about the raise...clearly it did'nt work!

Nurse calling,,,,, hell I said to my honey today "I need a spong bath"....she came back at me with...."I don't see your arms broken"...

At least I have the dogs......untill my honey says "who wants to go for a walk?"...awh the loyalty of pets

My hank...

Hope it's ok to side step a bit...

When I took a closer look at your dog I thought he looked like a long hair shephard. We had a long hair when we were first married. He too was a bit of a rescue also. Hank was born to a shepard breeder, the misfit in the litter. Since a long hair is not desirable(or wasn't at the time) in Canada he held no $ value to this breeder. He kept Hank in a kennel where he never had any human contact, other then this man, for the first 8 months of his life. The breeder decided one day that this wasn't fair to the dog and offered him in the classifieds FREE to a good home so we got him. Hank was VERY shy and would hide in the woods whenever friends came over. I did manage to get him to come to me after a week of him hiding in the woods and coming out to eat after we went into the house. I sat in the yard on a rock next to his food dish, it took a couple of hours but he finally came over to me. After that when ever I came out of the house he was by side, but we couldn't get him to come in the house. We had him for about a year when one night our neighbour shot him and dumped his body somewhere. RCMP couldn't do anything without a body... We moved shortly there after...I've attached a couple of pictures(I hope). Max is the short hair mixed breed, also a very clever and devoted buddy. Angel is the smaller dog that we share our home with now. And my Lady is the tan, husky/lab mix, who left us 3 years ago last May...miss her
Well, sorry to go on and on...but you started itThanks
Hope your on the mend.
