Post-Op TTA

Chop-Chop came through surgery fine. Surgeon opted for TTA once he was in. Apparently they broke a drill bit during surgery (ouch! thank God for anesthesia), but they didn't seem to act too worried about it (cough, cough, malpractice, cough). Actually, it was done at a Community Wellness Clinic at a discount (still more than a functional used car though!), and they do a lot of good there- so we'd never hold an honest mistake against them.
I'm a little concerned with their "light" approach to the pharmacological aspect of her post-op, but I can also understand that if she's feeling too good, she could hurt herself. So, I'll let the Vet do his job without me interfering.
She's eating, her fluid intake is a little less than I'd like, but it's improving day by day. In any event, she's gonna be Okay.
I just wanted to post this quick update, and a thanks to everyone here that's helped with info and emotional support.
Also thanks to the Animal Trustees of Austin & staff.
And thanks to family & friends that let us beg, borrow, and steal from them to get this done.
And thank you Kim- for still treating our "babies" as family- despite... well, you know.
Geeze. this thing reads like an award show that's gone on too long!
Thanks to our Dogster Friends&Family! Sorry for any late responses. Spending most my time on the floor next to Choppy, and I'm still in the stone-age with a desktop computer.

DC (loving dad), Choppy & Lou
