It's Over!!! HOORAYY!!

The surgery went smooth as can be!!! Couldn't be happier. Jess documented the whole thing for me :-D God Bless her!!!! Here's the play-by-play in pix. Enjoy!!!

In his Pre-Op stall. Excited to be somewhere new!!


Prepping his fetlocks & cleaning them again...and again...and again....


Making the first incisions


Right leg


Left leg


All done Jimmy!!! Wrapping him up :)


All done! Bye bye sleepy Jimmy! On his way into his post-op stall with the padded floors and walls so he wakes up nice & comfy:)


Thanks again to Jess for taking the pix & to Mom for driving!! Couldn't have done it without you two!!!

Dr. Goodin says 30 days stall rest with 10 min hand walking a day (YIPPEE!!!) and then 30 days in a small paddock and he can go back to work!!!! WOOOOOO!!! 60 DAYS AND WE'RE BACK IN ACTION!!!

Injections with Dr. H in 30 days (HA) and Adequan starts tonight. Now is when the fun REALLY starts!! Haha.
