All Ready To Go!! - "O" Day minus one

As of just before noon today, we completed the last step in preparation for the big day tomorrow. We dropped by the hospital today to have a last blood sample drawn for analysis for the operation tomorrow. This has been a relaxed and hectic two weeks here. Wait a minute you say!! Those two things are total opposites! Yes, that's correct! We've tried to squeeze a lot into these few days and have pretty well succeeded! When we've rested, we rested hard! When we were busy, we were pretty intensive doing whatever it was that had our attention at the time. Usually those two activities were alternating days! [:D]

We considered putting Bulli in a doggie day and night care facility for a few days during the operation and immediate post-op period but, after considering a couple of facilities, we decided that as close as we are to the hospital, that I could do double duty and provide the necessary care for both. He is used to staying by himself in our little apartment here, our smells (hopefully, not odious!!) are here and as long as he can eat and be taken out occasionally, he will fare well. I guess that's what you have to do when you have a creature that is totally dependent on you for ALL his needs.

Continue your prayers for the surgeon's hands and a speedy recovery. We have been so anxious to get this over so that we can get on with whatever life holds afterward, that getting here feels good! Of course, that's easy for ME to say!! Sharon is holding up well and if she's nervous about it, she's not showing it at all. Almost like, well, let's go to the store and get my new hip! If it were me, I'd probably be balled up in the corner, calling for "Mommy" in a weak pitiful voice!!

Will post more as soon as things happen!

Cheers!
