Tethered again and now in two places

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Sorry I have not been more involved lately -- mostly situation

depression.  Last year I had to deal with 6 months of a hole in in my

right leg.  Now, I've had a hole in my left foot since Thanksgiving.

The ER thought it would be a great idea to put a hole in my left foot

since it looked like a blister (it was a very serious sprain

preparing my dog for self taught service training).

To add to this.... I was not allowed to lift more than 5lbs.

Each time I wanted to put the dog into the car I had to lift his butt.

Even though I felt stupid, I took the dog to my vet just for a bit of

reassurance. It turned out the dog turned the poor dog had hyperplasia

of both hips. Blessedly, I caught the problem before any damage was

done. The cost for each operation is  $3,400.00.  We had to take out a

loan to since the breeder either would give us a new dog or 1/2 the

price the dog ($340.00)

I am still trying to heal from the stupid hole put in my foot. They

did a skin graft although, frankly it looks exactly the same to me as

before. I meet with Frim on the 8th. Cross an appendage for me

<grin>

I'm sorry .I hear you on the depression, November/December

was terrible for me. If I washed my hair that week it was a miracle!

Happy to hear your dog is doing well

A hole??  That sounds very painful.

I hope Dr. Frim can figure something out. Why are you tethered again?? I went

for my MRI but Dr. Frim said I just have a ton of scar tissue, no surgery at

this point.

All the best!
