I didn’t get the surgery this weekend. Instead, Dr. Huff took care of me personally. I wish I could say that healed me up but it didn’t. I have a feeling I look frightening because everyone gasped today when they came into work. I have lost a lot of weight over the weekend.
The pain is really bad and I’m panting a lot. They have me on even more pain killers but it really isn’t doing much but making me groggy. I’m still camped out in the OR, trying to find some peace and quiet. My leg is huge. I’m not sure what to make of it anymore. I can barely put any weight on it now and it just feels like it is on fire all the time.
A few minutes ago, my female human came in to see me! I wasn’t sure if it was really her at first and then I gave her my paw to hold and she held my head in her arms and whispered to me how much she loved me and how sorry she was for leaving me. It was the best moment I’ve had in a while and sleep came very quickly and I slept harder than I have in quite some time. I woke up a few times and she was still there with me, wrapped around me and stroking my head. I chased bunnies in my sleep and things almost felt normal.
It is lunch time so the hospital is empty now. My human had to leave but she’s coming back tonight to bring me home. Cookie already went home and from what I hear, she has also lost weight and hasn’t been sleeping well. She walked into the house, crawled into bed, and hasn’t moved.
