Day 14 - Sutures Removed
Hi there...
It was a pretty exciting and exhausting day for me today. I got to ride in the car and go with my Foster Mom & Dad to get my stitches out. It sure is nice not having those prickly things in my leg any more. I was all excited in the car, but I rode pretty good. I just wanted to see everything and Foster Mom was worried I would fall over or something. She seems to think I am really fragile...
We arrived and I was a pretty good boy, until another 'talker' came in so I definitely had to have a conversation with him! I couldn't just ignore him, could I?
After they took my stitches out I heard them tell Foster Mom that I was doing awesome! If that's the case, I cannot be that fragile, right? I cannot seem to convince her though...
On top of being awesome, it seems I have lost 7 pounds! I keep telling her she is not giving me enough food...she won't listen. Something about me not being able to handle all that weight? I am not convinced, but she seems to think she knows best.
We also met with a physical therapist and she worked on me a little bit to show them what to do for the next few days to get me started. Then I guess if we can afford it I get to go and get some real therapy - even some hydro therapy! Not sure what that is but it has water so it sounds good?
I am pretty tired tonight...but be sure to check back in a few days.
Good Night and thanks for the love and support!
Gilbert
