A little less metal


Mele is doing much better, on Saturday she had her staples removed and managed the whole ordeal without to much drama. She is once again sleeping on the bed instead of in her jail and apart from wanting to get up and play at sunrise is not to annoying. Now that the staples are out comes the hard part, keeping her from bouncing off the walls, she feels fine, wants to play and thinks we are mean not to let her out and romp.
Mele would also like to say "Bite Doctor Walls, I did!" to her friend Cooper who is having surgery on his front leg(s) today, hope things go well Coop.

Another step backwards

Mele managed to pop her joint again, this time while she was sleeping *sigh*. So it's back to the Doc again for more surgery, this time it looks like he will be replacing the socket itself with a different type. The surgery takes place this afternoon so more later.

Disaster


The unthinkable happened on Tuesday night, while Mele was out for her late night tinkle time she managed to pop the ball out of the socket on her replacement hip. She has been back to Dr Wall for surgery and will be back home today. The Doc found scar tissue in the joint area which probably caused the joint to pop, he has removed it and also lengthened the neck of the socket so hopefully this will not happen again. Sadly this means another recuperation period and the postponement of the surgery on the right hip joint, Rats!.
