First off, I just want to say THANK YOU for all of your support. You are all such a wonderful, caring group of people. Must be a trait of bully lovers :).

Well, we didn't get to the vet today. My husband was at the hospital MUCH longer than expected. We didn't leave until after 5pm. He is doing ok. His foot is just starting to hurt a little. They had it pretty numb and it is starting to wear off.

Gator, however, is NOT doing better. He jumped on the sofa before I could stop him and he hurt his leg and it was hanging limp. After a few minutes he started to put weight on it again. I gave him some pain meds given to us by the ER vet. I just hope he can hold on until we get to the vet tomorrow. We have one errand in the morning (need to get dog food, we are out and it can't wait) and then off to the vet. I will post how he is doing but it is concerning that:
A. the radiologist saw something on the x-ray and
B. it isn't feeling any better.

I did give him a nice bath tonight (he likes it) and he was calm and relaxed from the massage. I had to fight the instinct to put him in the car and rush him back to the ER when he hurt it again. Oy.....just like if my kids hurt themselves! I never thought I would have such a strong reaction.

[MENTION=1041]lexterwayne[/MENTION] I had to help give my hubby a bath today as he cannot get his bandage on his foot wet. That was an experience! That and our vet trip did not turn out too well. Gator now has to have surgery. We have an appt at 11am with the ortho surgeon for him to assess him and do the surgery if he feels it is needed. Is there no end??? I am SUPPOSED to be on summer vaca!
