Well...I am home but my Katie girl is not with me

Katie had to stay at the vet hospital and will be having surgery tomorrow. She has ruptured her ligaments and it is a severe sprain. Which he said sounds simple but its not. Its a bad injury. She will be having her ligaments reconstructed and three pins put in the ankle itself to reinforce it. Her ankle bone itself is very weak. Along with that she will also be having the knee surgery done. Her knee pops out of place very easily and that will be fixed also. It is a very nice place and all the staff and Dr. Barnhart were excellent and extremely nice which made me feel a lot better. Not a whole lot though. It really tore me up to leave her there. I didn't even get to see her before I left. She was drugged up and they said they would bring her around for me to see but I told them not to disturb her because it would probably just make it harder for me to leave. I had to sit in the car and call Alden so I could chill out a bit before heading home. Katie will be in a cast for 4-6 weeks Yep, you guessed it...I have to keep her calm and quiet the whole time. Only allowed out on a leash to do her business and that is it. She nearly drove me crazy last night. How am I suppose to make it for 4-6 weeks!! If the vet does his part right and we do our part right, Katie should make a full recovery. She is young so she should bounce back pretty quick.

I'm not so young though...lol...this just adds another 10 years and lots more gray hairs....lol Oh, it hurts to know she isn't here and that I left her behind She should be able to come home Saturday morning.

Please keep those prayers and thoughts coming. Especially during her surgery.

I'm going to go now. I'm tired and bummed out and I also have a little red head that needs lots and lots of attention right now.

You guys have been great. Alden and I really appreciate it!!

Thanks again...Robin, Alden, Katie and Tori
