Our Sunday plans came to an abrupt halt when Lily had a run in with a piece of sheet metal in the yard. The encounter left her with a 4 inch gash down the front of her right leg that sliced through three tendons. I held pads over the wound to stop the bleeding while Jay found a vet who was open on Sunday mornings. YaHWeH, watching over us, helped us to find a vet only a few miles away who was open until noon on Sundays. He was able to do the surgery to connect the tendons and by two thirty in the afternoon Lily was home again sporting a bright green cast and a fancy Elizabethan collar. She has done very well with the anesthesia wear-off and post-op medications and has even made a few three legged journeys in and out of the house. She'll visit the vet again on Wednesday morning to change the dressing and check on how the wound is healing. Although the surgery was a big hit on our wallet, we are blessed and rejoicing that it went well and she should eventually be able to return to he regular lizard chasing duties.

Lily did well...how did you do?
I did well....got pads to hold on the wound, stopped the bleeding. Didn't look very closely but in my one glance saw the cut end of a white string so I was pretty sure we had a problem. I didn't get the funny stomach but did sit down when the vet was talking just in case. I think it was one of those adrenaline times where you can do beyond what you normally would although I didn't try to lift the truck to test my theory.
Betsy would be proud :)
Yipes! Yeeps!
Such excitement.
Way to go! First aid isn't really my fort é either (believe it or not)
