"My Surgery was a success!
July 21st 2009 11:33 am
Dr. Gainsburg called! I, Scooter Yates, have made it out of surgery and it was deemed "a success"
Some of it was kind of confusing. The disk herniation was at T12/T13 and he said it was really bad. It was squishing my spinal cord. He said he didn't have to touch my spinal cord much when is a good thing. There was a little hemmoraging from a "sinus" (that's part of when mom got a little lost) and they got the bleeding to stop.
I will be there anywhere from 2-5 days...possibly going home tomorrow afternoon, but I think it depends on whether I can stand or not. I have inside stiches and like 10 staples...whoa! that's a lot! I'm a little beagley!
As for my recovery process, he has a better idea of how it will go after 24 to 48 hours. Mom will go and visit me after she gets off work. I'll update you guys when mom gets home.
Angels, thanks so much for surrounding me with your love. I felt safe the whole time. As for the support, words just can't express it enough. For those of you who have been through a traumatic experience with pet and felt the "dogster and catster" love, you know. Your friendship means more than you know. Thanks for being the bestest pals a beagley girl can have.
I'll keep you updated on my progress. The next day or two will be really important"
Scootie has been keeping up her diary, so you can read the whole story there. It's not over yet, so please keep the prayers going! |  |  |  |  |
