My dears, it has been such a trying month. I told you that Daddy Moose had carpal tunnel surgery on May 13th. He healed extremely well for about 10 days and then he was hit with a huge set-back: a staph infection! This is that nasty one we carry with us and it was attracted to the fresh wound.
Daddy Moose had to have more surgery on June 3rd and was in the hospital for six days. Here he is the very day of surgery, no longer in excruciating pain. We thank his orthopedic surgeons Dr. Hu and Dr. Heater, his Physician's Assistant Kelly, his favorite nurse Allen and all the medical staff at Mercy General Hospital for taking such good care of him.
He came home late on Monday, June 8th, and it was wonderful to see him at last. Since then we have been working night and day to help him get well. We have come a long way. His Home Health Nurse Tracy and the others who fill in sometimes, his Occupational Therapist Melinda and his Physical Therapist Jim have done wonders for him.
More later, my dear friends.
