Member Dog - Rory's Surgery

Rory had cataract surgery a week ago and everything is going great. The 
worst part of her recovery has been the 21 different items of care she 
has needed daily, including 17 drops and 4 pills The drops always have 
to be separated in time as well. My poor husband has had the brunt of 
this round the clock care. At her last visit this regimen was cut down 
a bit, eliminating 3 of the drops a day, but we'll take it! She shows 
no signs of infection or increase in eye pressure, and can already see 
out of that eye.

We have to keep her separate from Charles, which is a challenge in 
itself, and she needs to wear a cone for 2 more weeks.

Many, many thanks to Jodi Groff for sending a cone cover for her. It has 
made all the difference in her care. She is not uncomfortable, since 
the cone is so soft around her face, and she does not mind it at all. 
Rory will even come to us for her drops. They must make her eye feel 
good. She is such a great patient!

I'm sending a recent picture of her in the yard, 10 days after surgery 
You can see how well she looks You can see how great the cone cover 
looks.

Thanks again, Jodi, from Rory and us!
