Molly surgery was scheduled for Thursday May 6th, 2010.
We were instructed to take Molly off the anti inflammatory on Monday before surgery and to not give her pain medication the day of surgery. Plus no food after 8pm the night before surgery. And only a little water the morning of surgery.
Dr Gallagher called just to confirm that we were definitely operating on the left leg...which we were.
Sean and I also were thinking through a plan for the first few weeks post operatively. Our bedroom is upstairs where the dogs sleep...so we would have to make sure Molly stayed on the first floor. They have kennels they stay in when we leave the house....so we would move Molly's kennel downstairs. Plus we looked at the calendar....the kids had sporting events that first weekend..but we would be able to work it all out.
Plus we financially were deciding how to pay for this as well...oh and our son was scheduled to go into braces the same week...ugh...show me the money!
Oh and we ordered a sling from Foster and Smith. It will sling under her belly with handles that we can hold up her back legs when we have to take her outside.
