No photos…BUT, I saw Mr. Bob…in hospital.<\/p>\n
Bear and I made a run to Wal-Mart which was agony on my part as I am not a huge fan of Wal-Mart but it was a one-stop shopping choice that we could do early.<\/p>\n
We proceeded to our river venue for a walk and then whizzed past the veterinary hospital and finding the “customer” part of the lot clear of vehicles we zipped in for a check on Mr. Bob.<\/p>\n
The hospital vet met with me and said that Bob was cranky (NORMAL!!) but doing well. She said that he was eating a lot…in fact they needed more of his food :)! – go Mr. Bob!!!<\/p>\n
She convinced me that it would be good for him to have a visit so we were set up in a room for some time together. Bob settled with me and we had a good snuggle, chin scratches and a long talk about things.<\/p>\n
Dr. Scherr was about for an emergency surgery but he saw me and was waiting for the surgical dog to be prepped so we had a chance to talk briefly. He had reviewed Bob’s history and assured me that we had done exactly what he would have. He also explained a bit more about the procedure to fix things and told me that this particular surgery, while post-op 2-5 days can be tough…at day 7 the results are worth it.<\/p>\n
I came away feeling better having seen and held Bob, having more info on the procedure and hearing Dr. Scherr’s confidence.<\/p>\n
We await some test results due tomorrow (Monday) morning.<\/p>\n
As always, these challenging life things bring a lot of other life issues into perspective. <\/p>\n
