Not Long Now

No, I don't think she does. It's funny - we had a couple of purebred dogs who were sick all their lives and cost us all kinds of worry and vet expense. This little stray cat we got from a shelter after my arthritis ruled out dog walking has never been sick one day in 11 years. Go figure.

Two dogs this year cost me mucho bucks with surgeries. I understand what you mean by

and cost us all kinds of worry and vet expense.

We're just getting ready to leave home. Yikes!!!! I have to be at the hospital at 9:30 and surgery is at noon. I can't believe it's finally happening.

I had the spinal, and was sedated with the Michael Jackson happy juice. I was out like a light! Woke up and it was over. Also I woke up and felt great. Of course the femoral block helped the pain for the first 24 hours... but my head was straight as I did not have general Anesthesia. This was the protocol my doctor preferred for his patients. It depends on the doctor and your health issues going into surgery.
