Super Trooper

Drew Rocks. He handled the surgery today like a champ. Again! This was an outpatient procedure to remove the plate from his hip. It took about an hour total, from anesthesia to finish. Then a few hours in recovery. Scruffy the one-eared wonder dog was there, of course. Scruffy got the oxygen in post op recovery, since Drew didn't need it. The nurse asked 'who bit his ear?!' (Scruffy's) and I explained that our real dog, Roo (RIP) did and I had to cut the dog slobbered ear off. She thought that was hysterical. Scruffy had the hair net on too. He is a very loyal friend. The surgeon made a small incision and got the plate out...there are no restrictions for Drew, and by the time we got home he was trying to stand and walk, moving his legs! He is such a trooper.
We took advantage of the beautiful weather today and took a long walk...he was moving the entire time (as much as he could in his stroller) so I think he will be just fine and ready for Lokomat in April. :)
Thanks for all or your well wishes...love ya!!
