Annabella went for surgery today to repair her right hind knee. The surgeon called me at 4pm to tell me they were going to begin the surgery and would call when it as done. 3 hours later I as panicking and just as I went to reach for the phone to call the hospital, the surgeon called. She said the surgery went well, but there was a minor hiccup....Annabella aspirated. They are giving her meds and hoping this helps and that she doesn't aspirate when they remove the tube. I had a bad feeling going into this and I feel so helpless. Surgeon said she would call me in the morning to let me know how things are going and if we can pick Annabella up...It is a 2 hour trip. Just last December she had the same surgery on the opposite leg done with the same surgeon and everything went well. How does one sleep? How do you"go on with your life until you hear from them? I was told I could call any time and as many times as I wanted...I will be calling every couple of hours. I just can't catch my breath!
