Today has been really difficult. Friday afternoon when our surgeon called to tell us Bruce was out of surgery, she said we would get a call Saturday and Sunday morning with an update. We got a call Saturday around 10am, and this doctor also said he would call and update us Sunday morning. Today we have not heard from the surgical center for an update. I am not very optimistic that we will hear any news now that it’s after 2pm in the afternoon. I don’t know how Bruce did weaning from the stronger pain medicine to the oral ones..I don’t know if he was able or willing to get up and move around yesterday..I don’t know if he ate anything yesterday..or anything about today. I don’t know what to expect for his supposed discharge tomorrow, or even if he’s doing well enough to still come home as planned. I don’t know what time, or even a time range, that his discharge might occur.. I am a nurse and I work nights at a Childrens Hospital in Dallas, Texas, which is near the surgical center. I live about 40 miles away from both.. I get off work at 7:30 tomorrow morning and have to return to work less than 12 hours later.. and I have no inkling as to when I can pick up my dog. I am tearful and worried and sick and so, so disappointed. Could they possibly understand how much a 5 minute phone call means to us dog parents?
