Toby's Troubles

M & D came to pick me up just after 4.30pm and I could see in their faces that they were so relieved I was OK and everything went fine with the surgery.

Jon explained what he had done and showed them some x-rays of my leg, before and after. I will put them on here soon when Jon emails them to daddy.

I had an operation called TWO (tibial wedge osteotomy) which involved removing a small wedge of bone from my leg, closing the gap and putting a metal plate and six screws over the joint to hold things in place.

My leg is very swollen and sore and totally bare where I have been shaved and it hurts quite a bit at the moment so I have more tablets to take to help with the pain and prevent infections in my wound. I also have a big plaster on my leg to protect the wound but I don't have any bandages or casts or anything else.

M & D were pleased with how things went so we all went home and stopped off at McDonalds on the way back for something to eat. I wasn't hungry and even though daddy peeled me some chicken nuggets to eat, I couldn't manage any so daddy had to eat them all. What a hero !
