Hi everyone & thanks for all your great advice!
I'm 18 days away from surgery (yay) and trying to get my environment squared away to make things easier. Kitchen is cleared out, etc.
My question is re: how you felt when you came home from the hospital.
I live alone and have 3 rescue dogs (I couldn't help myself, they needed a home.) Two are puppies and one is 12 years old and a heifer--he's 18#. I've read you can't lift after surgery and Kirby is blind so I carry him upstairs which I realize I probably won't be able to do for awhile.
I have friends who will take the pups while I'm in the hospital & have offered to keep them afterwards.
What is your advice re: how long you would board them----were you so logy/tired that having to walk the dogs or feed them would push you over the edge or were you just uncomfortable and walking them etc would be doable?
Any thoughts appreciated.
