Fall Fallowturn Moon
Heavy fog here this morning. Made driving through the leaf scattered roads and past our lakes scenic and atmospheric. On the road with Gertie, taking her over to Foley Boulevard Vets for her ACL surgery. She did not want to go with the vet tech, so I had to walk with her to the back.
She should be done around 12:30 pm, come home around 6:00. This is a 6 month rehab and a long stint with a bandage. Dog’s are not so good with bandages. That is, they like to tear them off then lick, lick. lick, lick the wound. Does not help healing. She may have to wear an elizabethan or e collar. Clumsy things to have inside.
Kate’s off to pick up her antibiotics and pain meds. We will give her a series of shots, 8 in all, at home after the surgery. These are to attenuate possible arthritic complications from the knee trauma.
