Post Op

The story I was told about Thompson is that after his amputation surgery the first thing he did when he awoke was demand to be fed.  Then he ate  as if he wanted to make up for all the meals he might have missed.  I have to admire that because days after my surgery I'm still trying to force myself to eat having no appetite whatsoever.  I know though that it will help speed up the healing process if I continue to eat some meals...

you are correct. The body needs energy to do its healing. Easier said than done.

(It was the anal glands! Finally got them looked at yesterday, they were full. Story to follow soon.)

Yep, you gotta eat! Maybe you should have some treats...that's what we recommend!
