Tale of my Tail: Day 8 Post Surgery

I know everyone has been super worried about my tail.  But, guess what!  I've totally left it alone.  So, I went to see Dr. Mike last night and he removed half of my stitches.  He said he was leaving the others in until next week because I make him super nervous and he wants me to have the best chance at succeeding this time. 
 
 
I'm still on the nerve blockers and the momma gives me pain meds when I seem to need them.  I've managed to keep either the momma or the dad home with me at all times.  But, both the momma and the dad have to go into work today... so I'm going to be alone for 3 hours.  The momma spiked my creamy cheeses and I've got all my gear on, plus the nerve blockers and pain meds... so lets hope I just sleep and leave my tail alone.  I'm going to try my best.
 
 
Otherwise, Dr. Mike said I looked good and was healing up nicely!  It's been super cold up here, so my bad leg as been bothering me a bit when I come in from outside... The momma practically had a heart attack yesterday morning when I came in on 3 legs, but as soon as I warmed up, I was okay.  Dr.  Mike took a look and didn't see anything wrong, so he agreed it's probably just the cold. 
 
 
Anywho, that's my update!  Dr. Mike is at the vet office today, just in case we need him later on, but I'm telling you... I'm trying my best to stay away from my short tail!
