What a rough couple of weeks it’s been!
The vet sent me home yesterday, but he told mommy that I am not progressing as I should be from the amputation. A week after my amputation I had to go back to the hospital, then I had kidney failure, that got better, but I had sepsis, that got better, but I have anemia and a bleeding ulcer. WTH??? So the vet sent me home and told mommy that the prognosis isn’t very good unless I make a lot of recovery in the next few days. Guess what?!?! I’m doing a lot better today!!!! I’m still sleepy, and I don’t want to walk unless it’s to get up and go potty, but I’m hungry and I’m eating pretty well. Mommy got me and Arby’s sandwich and I ate all the meat in one bite. She almost gave me her’s, too, but she really wanted it, so I got doggie cookies and liverwurst.
The first photo on this page is right after I got sprung from the hospital, mommy stopped at the nearest McDonald’s and got me a plain cheeseburger. I ate all of the meat. I’m keto and don’t eat bread… lol! Once I got home and had not only mommy’s love, but Uncle Shawn’s and Aunt Cathy’s and all of my wonderful neighbors, I ate some more. Mommy let me sleep at Uncle Shawn’s last night. I LOVE him! He’s good cop. Mommy’s bad cop. Today, while mommy was at work, Uncle Shawn took the second photo of me, hanging like a big dog on the porch with a smile.
I’m thinking that things are going to get better and better. Before you know it, I will be running around the pool like a TriPawd on a mission to save whoever is swimming.
Here is a video of me doing my lifeguard duty when I was a Quad:
This was taken in July. How things can change so fast! Well, I’m going to get better fast, too, now that the worst is over.
Mommy refuses to believe that this is anything more than me coming off that horrible Gabapentin. She has heard horrible things from her friends about that drug! Mommy will not give me any more of that crap!
