Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I am so glad it went well! Isn't it surprising how fast the procedure really is? I was amazed at how quickly it went! I did the same - Tylenol for Mom's benefit! It sure is nice to have that part over with so one can stop worrying about it, isn't it? novemberfable wrote: Hi everyone. Just thought I'd post an update on Marcus's tenotomy. He had it done yesterday. Everything went very well. The little bugger is a big eater and he started squirming for food in the car before we even got to the doctor's. So, naturally, by the time they got us in and the cast removed, he was already all worked up (how dare I not feed him for three hours! He was screaming by the time the procedure started. The whole thing took all of maybe 5 minutes, including the local anesthetic. As soon as I put the bottle of food in his little mouth, he became perfectly calm. They put a steri-strip on the cut and applied the cast. He finished eating in the meantime and you would never have known he had anything done to him. I gave him some Tylenol later (more for my benefit, so that I could be assured he wasn't in pain). He slept well last night and he's fine today. I am so thankful it's over. I was worried about the whole thing, but for nothing. Thank you all for your support. It's nice to know I can turn to someone if I do run into problems or have questions. I also want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope you are right ! I am usually pretty good about these kinds of things, but this one really has me being a big chicken. I just can't stand to think of her hurting.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Don't worry DeeDee. My husband just about guaranteed that he wasn't going to come with me to the tenotomy appt (big, big chicken when it comes to these things). He had no choice because my mom was sick so she couldn't come. The whole procedure was very simple. Hardly any bleeding during and done in a couple of minutes, if that. It took longer just letting the anesthetic kick in. Marcus did have a little bleeding after which came through the cast, but nothing serious. So hang in there. It's really not bad. Just have Isabella eat right after and she should be fine. > > I am so glad to see he did well. I have been so stressed out thinking of > Isabella having this done.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 It definitely is! I really dreaded it and made more of it than it really was. Hi everyone.
