Aww, man... The Cone is never good. |
I had surgery on Monday to repair an old injury to my knee. I was picked up by HES as a stray, remember? Well, being a stray dog is tough business, and sometimes there have been bumps and bruises that just never healed right.
That's what happened with my ACL in my knee. It was torn, but there was lots of other stuff that needed fixing on me first. So now that I'm all better and stuff, it was time to go back and get my knee fixed. So Uncle Chris and I went to see a special vet Doctor on Monday (it was an overnight road trip!) and I had my surgery. Then Tuesday morning UC came and picked me up and we came back to Chattanooga.
When we left the animal hospital, I was in THE CONE. You've heard the jokes - Everything is fun and games until somebody ends up in a cone.
Who invented this thing? Good grief. |
But let's just say I'm a little bit of a ConeDozer. I got it caught on the door, the grass, the back porch steps - everything.
Looking at me and the cone through the safety divider. It almost looks photoshopped. |
How Humiliating.
Luckily both of UC's greyhounds back in the day had surgeries, too - so he has a secret weapon to battle the cone.
I had knee surgery, UC, not whiplash... What's with the neck thingy? |
I'll spare you the up-close picture of my knee, but here's my pretty brindle-ness all shaved and relaxing on the cool wood floor.
Nice cool floor. Ahhhhh... |
Thanks for your support and well wishes - you are the best!
Rest and Recovery - the best thing for a puppy after surgery! |
