Dobie went to the doc and the news started out good, but that was a fake out for sure. He got his CT scan and they saw nothing new........and the first phone call made that very clear giving me a false sense of good. The fact of the matter is there is new disc material and the site of his old surgery and next to impossible to operate on since the old surgery site is full of scare tissue and a spinal bone graft that they are sure has all fused together by now. So in order to operate they would be digging around right a his spin and not really knowing in the scar tissue what as what. They would only recommend surgery if he was no longer walking. Which to him, is probably right now. He is moving really slow today and I have admit I miss my lively "leg liften little bastard"!! I don't think i have seen a single spot where he has peed in the house since hurting his back again.
Poor Kati gets in trouble for trying to play with Dobie and doing her body crash thing. I will have to get her a visit at doggie day care tomorrow I think for some play time with a healthy kid. I have been taking her to the park across the street for a walk on the weekends. She does better each time we go......I am off work tomorrow, will have to take her over in the morning as well.
Dobie is so sad and just not himself even though he tries to be perky and the crazy guy we all know and love. He is on pred, tramadol, and lots of herbs and things to help him get better....and lots of prayers to the good Lord. He really has just the saddest face when he does not feel well and really does not understand but graciously goes into his crate for rest when i send him.
Kati is a superstar in her own right......she is doing a great job and i think she understands things are not as the should be but that they will get better. I just don't know how long we let Dobie be uncomfortable and give things a chance to heal. That really is our questions this week......
