I think it's most important to be prepared when you get home from the hospital and I hope your doctor can assist you with that. Also, having someone with you is essential because you'll will need assistance in the first few days.

Overall, it's not a difficult procedure and given time and care you'll be skipping down the street with that gorgeous girl-pup of yours

Hugs to you and good luck with it.

This is exactly the case w/my friend. The situation sounds identical. I'm sure you'll do fine and we'll be praying for you....
