Bad to the Bone

Dear friends,
Benny had his surgery today. The doctor preformed an ostectomy on Benny's left ulna and took a bit of fat from his waist and put it into the surgical site to keep the gap in his arm from healing too quickly.

Mom had to leave Benny at the hospital this evening, but she really didn't want to. Although, she said if anything were to happen, the hospital is too far away to get to in an emergency. Doctor's orders: Benny has to stay.

Mom said when she was leaving Benny was still a little groggy from the anesthesia. The technicians made him a nice fluid bag with lidocane and ketamine, and he will be getting hydromorphone every 4 to 6 hours. Mom says he shouldn't feel too much pain then, even though bone surgery is some of the most painful to have.

Jake and I have been waiting at home all day for news on Benny. We can't wait until he gets home! Plus, Dad is away on work so we're missing him, too.

Keep Benny in your thoughts. We are!

Your handsome Corgi friend,
Bear
