Keep your chin up Leslie! It may take more discomfort, time, and money to get fixed than you would have hoped, but Graham is still the same sweet boy!
Don't feel scared! Graham may be broken on the outside, but he's still all there on the inside! Just because he has to see a specialist doesn't mean the situation is hopeless. The specialist may be able to put him all back together again, and Graham may be Rockin' and Rollin' with you again in no time! And, even if not, he is always the same sweet Graham, and you will just have to do different things with him to keep him healthy, fit, and energized. He may be uncomfortable and in some pain, but he is tough and can roll with the punches - that grin is proof of that!
Don't despair... there's always hope!
(Don't get me wrong, I am mad at the fates that would allow such a sweet baby to get any owies. )
