Finally our appointment with the orthopedic specialist has arrived.
I will be leaving the house in about an hour.
Frankie's knee has been so bad in the last couple of months. I posted about his patellar luxation probably a year ago. I hoped he would grow out of the problem, as did Beenie a few years back but he didn't.
Our regular vet suggested this appointment with the specialist because he really belives Frankie needs surgery (possibly on both knees). One is much worse than the other. It causes him to yelp in pain everytime he jumps and limp pretty much most of the time. I haven't been able to walk him for about 2 months now because he stays sore when I do.
I found out the other day, when confirming the appointment, that they may even keep him today and do the surgery tomorrow, if need be.
I'll let you know what happens when we come back. I just hope he doesn't need it for both legs. This is a very expensive surgery and we really didn't need this expense ($1,500) for one leg, especially with the baby coming too.
With me not working like I did last year, it will be tight....
That said.... Frankie is worth it to me, and more.
