Lizbud,

I know Bud had a different surgery, but I am just wondering how long Bud showed extreme pain? They told me that the first 48 hours were going to be the very worst. Did Bud show huge improvement after 48 hours? Graham cries non-stop while he is awake...when he is asleep is the only time he stops crying. His cries vary from a constant groan with each exhale, to a low, constant whine, to a very high pitch wine. He has not stopped crying, except for when he's sleeping. The vet says that unfortunately there's little left to do but support him emotionally and make sure I keep him on that tylenol 4. He just cries and cries. He just does not stop. I have even held the phone up to Graham's mouth as he's crying for the vet to listen to and they said it's normal, but it's so much worse than I expected. I almost wish they kept him in the hospital on that morphine drip Anyway, I was just wondering how Bud made out with his surgery. Let me know if it got any better, OK? I need to know that there will be an end to this...every wimper that comes out of his mouth, just tears my heart to shreads...I have been crying so much that my head is pounding and my eyes are bloodshot and sore.
