Three week ampuversary!

This week marked my THREE WEEK AMPUVERSARY! I never thought I’d make it. . .well, my Tonya, never thought I’d make it. I admit, I was a little puny. Okay. Maybe a lot puny. But it was what had to be done to get that darn cancer out of my body.

This week was big for me. I had to go back to the surgeon to get a bandage change because I got that darn abscess on my surgery site. The hole is smaller, but it’s still oozing and I have to keep it bandaged. They sent me home in another diaper! It’s so bulky, I can hardly pee-pee, and pooping…you can forget that!

I’m feeling a little better and when I  move around that darn diaper moves too. My Tonya and your daddy has to readjust the diaper and it hurts me more than helps me. I’m ashamed to say that I even showed my teeth to My Tonya and I’ve never done that.

I’m sorta glad I showed my teeth because the next thing I knew, My Tonya was on the phone and yelling at someone. She was so upset. Then she came at me with  those scissors. I groaned thinking that she was going to try to give me a haircut while I was down and out. She didn’t! She cut that diaper off me.

Gently she cleaned the abscess hole and put a small band aid bandage on me! It was like I was born again. I got up, I went outside, I even ran for the first time! When I came back in the house, I walked into the kitchen for the first time to get my treat. It doesn’t end there. I even stood on My Tonya, which is my favorite activity of all time, for the first time in three weeks. My Tonya even cried.

Last night I woke my mamma up in the middle of the night. It was the first time that I actually got up and felt a little bright eyed. My doctor took me off the Tramadol pain medication and boy, I sure am glad. I feel a little better and want to eat more.

That picture up there was taken by my mamma at Thanksgiving and I dreamed about that turkey last night. That’s why I woke my mamma up. I was hungry!

Well, mamma was all too happy to give me a little snack and she rubbed me telling me how good I am. Strange….because when I had four paws, she didn’t like it when I woke her up at 3 a.m. She’d say that some characters from her books were in her head and always waking her up and I should be letting her sleep.

Here is a little humor to keep me going.

I’m Charlie. I’m a tripaw.

IMG_1491Hi! I’m Charlie Kappes. I’m 11 years old and a Schnauzer. That’s a picture of me and my mamma. I love my mamma. She is a writer so she gets to stay at home with me all day. She hasn’t left my side since she had to make the very hard decision to have my leg amputated to get rid of the nasty cancer. It’s been kinda hard on me since I love to take daily walks even when my  mamma doesn’t want to. Unfortunately, I got an abscess and we are doing everything we can to get me better.

IMG_2155 Here is the abscess hole. My staples are out and that looks good!IMG_2160How embarrasing that I’m wearing a diaper. Thank goodness I can’t take a long walk because my girlfriends, Shady, would see me and I think I better get better before I visit her. She’s a looker. Black lab and gorgeous.
IMG_2150Then when I didn’t think it could get much worse, my mamma makes me wear this! I’m a dude! She’s killing me!
