i'm hurting!!

i've had this cyst on my side for years. every vet told my mommy that it was just a cyst and to watch it in case it ever got bigger. well, after years of it staying the same size, it got bigger...

which meant that i needed to go in for surgery. my mommy's step-dad got my leash and i thought "oh boy! i'm going for a run!" then he made me get into the car and i thought "oh boy! i'm going to the doggie park!" but then he tricked me, we went to the vet instead!

i didn't want to go into the room alone with the vet, so i pulled myself out of my collar. my mommy's step dad had to go in with me...then they gave me a shot, put a tube down my throat & performed the surgery.

when i woke up ~ i wasn't too sure where i was or what was going on. i know i went home with a huge collar around my head so i couldn't really reach my water bowl or see where i was going...my mommy found me in the bathroom just staring at the showerhead, and i can't really explain what i was doing in there...

i don't mess with my stitches so they took the collar off me...which is fine, i hurt too much to do anything...even four days later, i'm still hurting. i can't sleep on my mommy's bed like i always do, but there's three different doggie beds around the house i can sleep in, like i did before mommy moved back home. i can sleep on a throw rug mommy put down by her bed, she even took one of her pillows off her bed and put it next to me cause she knows i like to cuddle up to it & smell her scent.

i just hurt a lot right now, but each day i'm getting better. mommy brushes me every day cause i can't shake off that extra fur or groom myself like normal.

i just want to feel normal again.
