I have a lot to talk about and can't really write a lot right now so I can give you a few short chapters. Yes I had my RTKR on Monday morning and yes I am still here in the hospital and should be going home today, as everything is all good with vitals, blood, and PT., but have not seen the doctor yet today.
When I woke up Monday morning I did what was required of me before surgery. My husband had been the first one downstairs but returned upstairs speechless and devastated telling me that our 14 year old dog Molly had died. I had tucked her into her bed on Sunday night kissed her on the head and told her I would see her in the morning. Well I never got to see her alive again. I cried all the way to the hospital and right into the surgery room. My surgeon and staff learned what had happened and were so caring and kind to me. I just wanted to have the general anesthesia so I wouldn't have to think anymore.
Surgery went well they told me, it took about 2 1/2 hours. I was very drugged on Monday and that was good otherwise I would have just been crying. This sure was never in my plans for my surgery day. Guess I will close for now as I am getting too sad again. I will write more later about my recovery the good and the bad!
Take care everyone, hug your loved ones and your pets because we never know when the time is up.
