I'm Home!

I'm really tired, but I wanted to let you all know that I am home.  It's good to be home.  Scout ran up to me and sniffed me all over.  Mama said Scout really missed me.  She stuck by Mama most of the time I was gone and didn't even pay much attention to the bunnies.  I guess it's not as much fun when I'm not around.

Mama says I look really good.  They didn't shave me much, so I look pretty normal.  I didn't get the epidural.  I'm walking pretty good which surprised Mama and Daddy.

Okay, so do you want to see my x-rays?  We forgot to ask Dr. Mike for the before the plate x-rays.  Here is the picture of my foot with the plate and screws in it.

Here are the after photos.


He fused my bone together.

Mama is supposed to take my bandage off tonight, so I guess we will see what I look like with the stitches soon.  Mama is nervous about that.

Thanks for all your good thoughts and wishes. I'm glad to be back home!!!

  12. Cool thanks! Very interesting to see the holes in the bone from the screws. The hock joint looks very stable to my amateur hock eyes. :-) I think he'll be up and running soon.
