Major Setback

At 5:45 pm on April 16, I was running really fast and jumping on the cot that PT sleeps on by the window. I was having such a good time. I already had 4 toys on the pillow on the cot. I like staying there because I can look out the window. I lost my balance and slipped before I jumped and hit my leg on the cot frame. At least I landed on the pillow so I didn't hit my head....but I cried out really loud.

Mom was right there by me....and grabbed me up to give me some love. I had my leg straight out...and I let mom know that it hurt really bad!! She wrapped me in a blanket and took me to the kitchen. She grabbed the therapy pads out of the freezer and we went to sit on the bed. For the rest of the night she had ice on my leg...20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. We were both really tired. This morning she took me outside to potty...and I refused to put any weight on my leg cause it still hurt...but I still pottied!

Mom dropped me by Uncle Harold's on the way to work. Harold took me to the vet...and they took pictures of my leg. The lady from the vet called mom and told her it was broken..and I needed to go see someone special.... Laura (the lady from the Vet) and Uncle Harold took me and another dog (puppy)that had been injured to Sonterra vet hospital where I am having surgery on my broken leg at 3:00 today. The special man is Dr. Anderson. He is supposed to be the best there is at fixing legs. Mom gets to come visit me from 9:00 - 10:00 tonight. Uncle Harold will take me home tomorrow because mom will be out of town until Tuesday night at midnight. I will get to go to my real house on Wednesday morning. Mom's friend Karen told me that her roommate Leslie works at this hospital...she has already been in to see me a couple of times.... and will call mom as soon as the surgery is over. I am really afraid...but know mom will come back and get me.

We will have to work really hard to make sure that I will be able to walk correctly.

More later........ maybe mom will take pictures.......
