Last Friday was surgery day they ended up placing a rod from the lower part of his femur up to about midway up his femur and six screws.

Surgery took about three and a half hours. They took the catheter out that day and because of the epidural still being in he wasn’t able to use the bathroom. About 2am Saturday the nurses tried to place a new catheter two different sizes they couldn’t get it. At 4am the urologists came in and placed a new one. He was getting sick all night.

Finally Sunday he got his appetite back and was feeling better. Later down the road they may have to go back in and change the rod out as he grows.

Monday they took the catheter out and he was able to use the bathroom. Saturday they took the epidural out. We visited with the puppy that comes to the hospital he was happy he missed his Rubble. We checked the portal for the pathology to see if it came back yet from parts of the tumor they took out and seen his surgeon scheduled an appointment for next week out of the blue. We seen him the day of his leg surgery he was on standby incase anything went wrong and never mentioned anything about it. We are worried now we have found out whenever a doctor wants to see you in person its never good. But we are staying hopeful it is nothing.
