I can't believe that today is actually here- the day we have been preparing for for so long. I left for the vet around 7:30 this morning and had an exam before going into surgery. Afterwards I stayed there for a while as I was waking up from the anesthesia. Mostly I was hiding in my carrier under the blanket, but when my mom came to pick me up in the afternoon I got really excited when i heard her voice. The vet said I did really well, and that I should be on a quick road to recovery. The green bandage on my leg was from an IV, and I have another bandage on my right side. They shaved the hair beneath it, and it is slowly releasing pain medication to me through my skin. I am supposed to leave this on for 48 hours, and once it is removed it will still give me medicine for 2-3 more days. My eye is pretty swollen, and so is the right side of my face.
When I got home today my sister, Myrtle, was really excited to see me. I was so excited to be home, and I kept walking circles through the house exploring things, and I even tried jumping up on furniture. I could jump up on everything, and my hind legs only slipped once, but I think it was because I feel funny from the pain meds. After eating dinner (I hadn't been able to eat since dinner last night so I scarfed a bunch of food down) I am ready for bed.
