New Update: Owen has started to eat, keeps drinking alot, hates the ecollar, and now seems to be constipated. We will see. He is not happy with his large condo, but would like to find his own spot WITHOUT the e collar. He still is bleeding slightly from the incision area only when he forgets and starts to lay on that side. Dr. said it is fairly normal to have that happen, and of course it is not gushing, just fluids mixed with blood. He was not weight bearing yesterday or so far this morning. He will be left in his condo for a short while this morning as I have Xrays to be taken (nothing serious) and then to school for at least 3 hours. I am hoping all his meds will kick in and that he will just sleep. WHAT a learning experience. Not one I wanted to encounter. I did sleep for 3 and a half hours last night, WHEW it felt good! I forgot to mention his incision is about 14 inches long and the Dr. says he did not count the amount of stitches but theres a BUNCH. If I knew how to link a photo in my post I would, not to gross anyone out but to allow others to see what this process is all about, and that the terrible way they look might be quite normal after a procedure like this. Of course I did not really know the extent of the visual I would see, and it is a shocker. GIddy has been extremely helpful with advice and tips, thank goodness for NN and all the good wishes, prayers, and advice! Once again your thoughtfulness is so appreciated.
