Feb. 24th - One Night Without Bunny

Chris and I work all day and stay busy. We text and call each other. I give him updates. By 3:30, Bunny still has not gone into surgery. There was an emergency and her surgery was pushed a couple hours. I think that Bunny must be starving and thirsty wondering why the hell no one is giving her anything. UGGGH.

I leave work at 4 and have an acupuncture appointment at 5:30, my nephew's four-year-old birthday party from 6-8 and my friend's dog's four-year-old birthday party, drop-in 6-9. Who knew the night would be so chaotic.

I get a call that Bunny's surgery started at about 4:30. Dr. Grant will call us sometime before 9 with post-op news.

I get out of acupuncture at 7, pick up Chris and head to Chucky Cheese for birthday festivities. We arrive an hour and half late. The party is wrapping up. We give the birthday boy hugs and kisses. As we say our greetings, Dr. Grant calls us.

He explains that Bunny's surgery was a success. Both knees were badly deformed and her issue was genetic. One of her family members had been over- or mis-bred. Her right leg was a bit worse than the left. Her femurs did not have the groove that holds the knee cap in place. He made her grooves and tightened up the facia around the cartilage. We can call in the morning around 11:30 to see about picking up Bunny. She will be done with her IV fluids around that time.

Whew. We leave Chucky Cheese and forgo the other "pawty." I'll drop off his present in the morning.

We go to our quiet home and send good thoughts to our girl.
