Thankful Thursday

So MOM says I should be thankful today because SHE is.  I got my staples out and everything looks good.

Then WHY am I still in this headgear???
Oh, yes, Mom - I AM thankful too.

But remember I have a birthday next week - surely I won't be coned for THAT!!!

Mom here:  The staples came out, but the area where the drainage had scabbed over posed a challenge for staple removal. So the surgeon's assistant says a few more days in the cone would be a good thing.  The area is going to be itchy, and there is NO doubt that Mischievous Misty will try to get at it.  But we are all thankful that so far things are going so well for her.  She sees the surgeon next week and will have x-rays done to see how the repair is looking.  Then we can start to plan for surgery #2.  I am not pushing for it; I am more than willing to let some more healing time go by before we tackle the other knee.

Woos - Misty (mischievous???, ME???) and Mom

  2. Oh goody the staples are out. You have to be good so you can be cone free for your birthday. I'll be over to celebrate with you. What great news, Miss Misty.

    Tell your mom that it's how she linked to Thankful Thursday that was the problem. Not her blog. She had www.address.blogspot.com and should have had https://address.blogspot.com. Once I put it in right it worked just fine.

    Have a woof woof day, Misty. My best to your siblings and your wonderful mom. ♥

  3. That's no fair that you still have to wear that cone. At least it should only be for a few more days. Paws crossed it comes off before your birthday.

  5. That is good news that the staples are out. Better to wear the cone for a few more days, Misty, than to undo all the good work.

  9. That's great news, so hang in there, Misty! A few more days they say, and it's much better to be cautious rather than to reopen the wound and have to spend even more time wearing the cone.

  14. Misty 3 cheers for all this good news. I can surely understand itchy and not being about to control the urge to scratch/lick. I agree with mom let this surgery heal then you can tackle #2 before the cold weather arrives. Don't want to be trying to potty on the ice when you are limping with surgical leg
    Happy Friday
    Hugs cecilia

  20. Glad things are healing for you. Never fun having stitches or staples in or that bulky cone either. You have a lot to be thankful for and listen to the doctor and your Mom and you'll be out of that bulky cone real soon.
