shebas out of surgery and doing good

[Dragonkort]

just an update  and   a thank you to all you wounderful  people who added your prayers to mine as we waited for today and shebas ..we were told to be there between 7 and 7:30 this morning.  when we got there the doors were locked wth a sign on the doors to call there phone # and someone would come to the door because of the crorona vises  and of course we forgot to take the phone with us!! we knocked several times then went to sit in the car until some one came up front. when we saw the guy in the back come up front spike ran to the door and knocked and the guy came t the door and told us that we were told wrong. they open for surgery between 7:30 and 8!  oops some one made a mastake. any way he told us to wait in the car and when some one else came in they would come to the car to get sheba. when they came out to get sheba they all had masks on and guy took sheba from me along with her small dog blanket that she uses when she sits with  me in our chair...as well as my snuggle up...I hope her blanket will help to keep her calm when she wakes up and has to wait for us to come an d get her.  sheba and I have only been apart from one another once besides this time, when she some how got her hip joint out of place....that time she had to spend the  night.,,, she was one frantic dog until we came and got her and then for t he next week she tried to crawl right through my skin. the vet called about 9 :30 to let me know she had come thrugh surgery fine and was now resting with her blanket. I really like this vet as she treats the animals as if they were her own and takes the time to call and see how the animal is doing a few days after they are treated after an injury or has surgery.   she made a spical call to me this morning to let me know that sheba was alright because  she know how worried and scared I was about her, and assured me that sheba would most likely sleep most of the time we are se[earted. she told me sheba will be sent home with more  antibpticts and some pain meds and we will talk more when we pick  her up. I don't think i'll be doing to much crafting today as I didn't sleep well last night , I took my xaex this morning and its taking the edge off a little bit but my anxity level woun't really go away until I have my girl back with me where I   can touch her and pet her and start takig care of her. I left the couch bed opened so she can lay on the bed most of the time today and every   day until she starts feeling betterand wants to get off the bed I can me lying on the bed with her most of the time. to I just wont rest easy until she is here with me safe and sound again im glad shes able to sleep most of the timewe are apart.and here agaian I have written a small book so I will just say once agaian for adding your prayers to mine that she would come home today         remember God always answers our prayers.... the thing is we tend to forget that sometimes his answer is no, not now, or wait.... I am more than grateful to God today for giving me just a little more time with  my dear sheba  and for all my new friends who added there prayers to mine.

So, so pleased to hear this. Try and get some rest before she comes home so that you have the energy to cope. Give her an extra hug from all here at the Village.

thank you foxfold and kevin.   spike called the vet around noon to see how she was doing and she was well enough by  then and we were told she could come home as soon as we could get there. so of course we rushed right out the door and to the vets it takes up between 20 and 30 minutes to get there. spike called the office when we were in the parking lot because no one was allowed into the busness.  it seemed to take forever before any one came but finally the woman came out with care instructions for sheba and of course to get paid. then she came out with a different dog for the woman waiting for her dog to. finally they brought my sheba out to me she was still groggy and sleepy but she lifted up her head when she heard my voice and prticly jumped out of the guys hands into my lap. I did have to send the vet tec back in to get her blanket by the time she camse back with sheba s blanket sheba  was burrurd down in my lap trying to burrer right into me. I took her blanket and put it around her top half and covered her up. she gave a big sigh and finally relaxed and went to sleep, only lifting her head to be sure I wasn't going to take and leve her somewhere else. when we got home I put her on the bed and payed a little attention to my other animal children then layed down on the bed next to her and we both fell a sleep cuddled up next to each other for a couple of hours. when I woke up I carefuly got up and sat in my chair thinking sheba would sleep for awhile still. she opened her eyes and sort of dragged heself to the edge of the bed and lay there for 5 minutes or so then stood up on her wobbly legs getting ready to leap I guess   into my chair....something  she would never attempt when shes not all drugged up so I picked her up and put her on our chair where she stood waitig for me to sit down.as soon as I sat down next to her she snuggle right up to me and has been lying at my side her little head  and on paw on my thigh,  sound asleep and contement.and  finally sound asleep  next to me I to well . depending on how she is I might not be in the wood shop again for at least a few days but ill come to read and put a few pics up now and then again thank you all for the prayers

• thank you kevind…took another nap this afternoon so sheba and i are just taking it easy.  I have dentures myself so i kind of know how shes feeling and what shes going through.  she will be fine, we put a cone on her because she was trying to chew on her paw and we want her mouth to heal a bit before she starts doing that. dont want her to do  any damage to her stitches. im  a little concerned because she hasn't wanted any water yet but i just took one of the old animal syngures i have here and filled it up with water and gave her some that way. lol iv done that twice so far and will proubly do it several more times befor the nights over...tomarrow i'll offer her some water in the water dish and hopefuly she'lldrink some that way, if not i'll call the vet tomarrow just to check that shes ok and countue to give her water out of the old liquad dog synage until shefells lik drinking again.
