Docs, needles, and surgery have become 2nd nature to me...I'm a very good patient. Just getting over foot surgery...again...YAY!

I had 2 large(13mm and 17mm) ones removed about 20 months ago. They returned rather quickly. Different surgeon removed 3 this time over a larger area and took a much larger margin. Hoping they do not return. One nerve was affected, the one that senses feeling in my big toe. I can move it, I just can't feel it...sort of. It's weird. When I return to get my sutures out my Dr. will be happy to see that they are gone and my wound nearly healed. I like playing Doct...er...Surgeon!
It was painful...there's 30 more sutures and a graft inside but it's 90% healed up now. I'm almost walking correctly again. My eyelashes have been plucked and should be good for a couple more weeks. When they grow back, they make me feel like I have something in my eyes that won't flush out...very annoying and irritating.
MINI is a really good girl. The only thing she complains about is the dremel...and she's soooo strong. She is getting better though. Last weekend we did nails on 7 Bulldogs and saved her for last...she only pulled away a few times but I was extra careful to go slow and not quick the nail or get it hot.
Strange thing about MINI. She breaks up squabbles between other dogs. When she's around any 2 dogs that are having a disagreement, MINI jumps into action and places her body between the two and stays there until they stop. If they move to try to get at each other she re-positions herself to block them. It works every time and none of the other dogs would ever think about biting her...they all love her so much. Sometimes she does it when Zoe(Lala and MINI's best friend from out of town) and Lala play because they are so growly when playing.
