Making out with the Baby

Smells Good Ian

Carmel Cousins

I am recovering nicely from my knee surgery except I may die from boredom with the bed rest crap. I am still a little self conscious to show current pics so I picked a photo from a recent trip to Carmel where my cousin Dixie and I did some canine bonding. Love,Neko

Recovery

Neko is very sore and her sense of humor is not what it usually is so she asked Mom not to post any embarrassing half shaved pictures until she was feeling well enough to look back and laugh. The surgery went well and the stem cell injections happened today both in the knee and in her elbows which have been quite arthritic lately. We will see how the stem cell rejuvenation therapy works over time. For now it's lots of poached chicken breast and yummy treats for Neko while she heals for the next 8 weeks. Love,Neko's Mom

Knee Surgery

We dropped Neko off for her knee surgery this morning. Please send lots of Airezen her way all day. Love,Neko's Moms

Crutiate F*%#@!G Ligament

I tore my right Crutiate Ligament (knee) at the park and am on bed rest until I have surgery to repair it on Tuesday. My recovery time after the surgery is 8 weeks. I don't know how I am going to sit around for 8 weeks, the boredom will do me in for sure. The pain pills are great but nothing is worth this. Moms feel secure that Dr. Kim Carlson, the surgeon who did my back a couple of years ago will take the best care of me. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. We are considering restorative stem cell therapy after the surgery to help my recovery and to keep arthritis from progressing too quickly, does anyone out there have any experience with this? Love,Neko
