Breeder is in Ithaca, NY which is about 8 hours away...Is the breeder close enough for a visit now and then? When I tore up my knee in 2008, I had to have Snuffles stay with my friend for 6 weeks. But she was able to bring Snuffles to visit for a few hours several times a week. Loved playing tug of war with him while I was in my wheel chair. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/sammy56/Home_visits/DSC02884lv_150Medium.jpg
Wishing you a speedy recovery. BTW, you are the 3rd person I know of getting a hip replacement in the next month or 2.
I am working on the pre op medical clearances, etc now. Have and appointment with the surgeon on December 29. Surgery will hopefully be soon afterwards.What day is your surgery?
