Well, it has been 2 weeks since I came home from surgery. Last Monday I had my stitches removed (no fun, I don’t recommend it) and they told me I had to wear a T-shirt for about a week since they had removed the bandage. How embarrassing. I finally this weekend I got back to a normal situation. I not longer have to wear that dreaded plastic cone around my head. I have resumed my long daily walks, I am back to running in the yard, and I am back to eating 9 cups of food a day. I have also regained the weight I lost during that tragic period.
That is the good news. The bad news is that it is going to take a while for my hair to grow back. Good grief, for the price they charge for surgery, you would think they would find a way to avoid having to shave the lower half of your body. That is ridiculous!! I even have racing stripes (well actually rings) around my front legs where they shaved out areas for the IV fluids. This is unbecoming a Wolfie!!
Hey Quinn:
So happy to read your update! I’m doing okay too. Surgery sucks, does’t it?
I have a shaved tummy too, and a pretty nice looking scar. Bet your scar is longer than mine! I did not want to eat for a couple of days, but now my food looks pretty good again, but how do I still get the cooked chicken?
I still have a few more days to be sort of quiet, and then Finn and I can play again.
We did have a long walk on Sunday, but we were not allowed to “horse around” at all.
Stay well, and stay away from dish towels!
Your pal,
Abbey
