Knee surgery Consultation: December 21

Time for a quick break in the cancer posts – suck it cancer!

The week of Christmas I had a consultation with Dr Hulse regarding Emmie’s ACL tear. I had already spoken to my regular vet about the different options but Dr Hulse suggested Extracapsular Stabilization so that’s what we did. To spare you my rookie description, here is a link if you want to read more. With this surgery she was set to have full recovery and while it was expensive it was doable. On a side note, Emmie is available for commercials if anyone would like to hire her. I think it’s only fair that she start pitching in for her own vet bills. Thankfully Dr Hulse and Dr. Hintermeister are in the same office so they were able to easily discuss the timing of Emmie’s surgery to minimize the interruption to her chemo schedule. We were now on the surgery calendar for January 4th. Bring it on 2010. Emmie is tough and can take whatever you throw her way!
