Great news, MAK!  Will you still get in-home PT like before?

As far as I know Kris! I imagine they'll set me up with that tomorrow.

And Great Minds Think Alike!   

I've never been told I have a great mind so thank you for the compliment Janet! 

 

  What a difference a day makes! Day 2 after surgery has been a whole lot better than yesterday. Less pain and I'm moving better. I even did 3 stairs today.My therapists think I'm doing well enough to go home from the hospital. They're afraid that if I go to rehab the insurance company won't pay for it and I'll get stuck with a huge bill. I can't afford to take that chance so either tomorrow or Friday I will be heading home. Thanks for all your love and encouragement. 

 

  Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words. I came out of anesthesia much more alert than the last time and thought ok this a good omen. Unfortunately my pain is much more intense this time around. My surgeon visited me this morning and explained that this knee was in really bad shape compared to the other one. There was a whole lot more bone spurs to remove,more inflammation and arthritis and he said the alignment was totally out of whack. Therefore the surgery was more involved having to do a lot of sculpting of the bone to straighten my leg. As Donna told you I have staples this time as my body rejected the internal sutures the last time so there will be more drainage and also the drainage tube came out after the incision was closed so I will not regenerate my own blood in case I need a transfusion like the last time. He also told me the recovery time will be longer because of these factors. So I guess I'll have to be that much more determined. With support from all of you that should not be a problem. Thanks again and keep smiling!   

Here's to you MAK: Who is probably fast asleep right now...Won't hear anything until around 12 pm after she gets to a room!

Beauty stayed for a short time

 ;DThanks D! 

  Never a dull moment for you 2 eh Big Frank!? 

  What a little sweetie! Thanks !   

It's with sad news that I have to report this. I received a call from Beth at Wildlife Works in Pa. Callidora had to be Euthanized last evening with a severely injured wing. There was nothing anyone could do. There will be full details on Imprints soon.

This was the saddest news. Rest in Peace little girl. God Bless the ones who rescued her.

  Thank you Donna for finding the rehabber and getting this most important information out to all of us! 

 I like this one!!

Yep that's a good one! 

  MEOW!  Ed cracks me up!!! 

  So pretty! 

Nice!   

That was great Annette thanks!
