Ollie: Woofs everyone! Ollie here! #1 asked me to explain what happened with her eye. I should warn you it is not for the squeamish! When the surgeon saw the stye in her left eye, he decided to postpone the cataract operation and remove the stye instead. This, however, was done without any kind of anaesthetic! Scalpel and squeezy tweezers were the order of the day and #1 said it hurt like hXXl. The eye was very sore afterwards. At the same time, the right eye that had the op last week is taking its sweet time to improve, so she is having a hard time doing stuff. She has quite lot of work to do and has been concentrating on that, to the detriment of commenting for us. SORRY! The cataract surgery has now been rescheduled for April 7 as #1 has to go away on a job March 27 to April 3. Until then, she says she will be bumbling along.
As you know, Mr. G looked after us when #1 was gone (as well as replacing the HDD in her MacBook Pro with a much bigger SSD), and we are always thankful for that! I was also super thankful because he took me to have a romp with Osella and Lola, the two wonderful Lab girls that he also looks after! I always have a great time with them! He took some great shots!
I am thankful for friends who bring fun into my life!
Oh dear, we are sorry #1 had such a painful time at the eye Dr. Surely a bit of freezing could have been done!
ReplyDeleteOllie, I am happy that you got to have some fun with friends :`)
Purrs, Julie
oh boy what a torture for your #1... we wish her all the best... and we hope lots of green luck will come to you...
ReplyDeleteWe've been thinking of #1 since we saw the update earlier this week -
ReplyDeleteAND YOU are QUITE the play boy with all that rompin'!
H&K&W,
Willow
Oh dear, poor #1. That is awful. We know that you will give her lots of lovin! You are a sweet boy Ollie!
ReplyDeleteGood golly; I guess that I really didn't know what a stye was until now...eeks!
ReplyDeleteI've been through a few eye surgeries in my youth, yet I still have double vision, which means I have little depth perception.
Hope #1's eyes get better right quick!
That was quite an ordeal for #1. We have our paws crossed so that she heals quickly. You sure look like you were having fun playing with those two pups.
ReplyDeleteyowsa on the stye removal.. owwie is right. You look like you had a great time with your friends, you are blessed to have a good sitter to take care of you when needed.
ReplyDeleteHappy St Patrick's day
May you always have Walls for the winds A roof for the rain Tea beside the fire Laughter to cheer you Those you love near you
Yikes! I'm sorry #1 had to go through all of that but am purring she heals quickly and her eye surgery goes well. Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteThat sounds rather barbaric not using any anaesthetic! I hope the stye soon heals and the cataract operation can take place on schedule.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time with your friends, Ollie.
Those are great photos! Yikes, poor #1. Our Dad would have hit the Doc in the groin with out anaesthetic!
ReplyDeleteWell that's nuts ! By April 7 the stye would probably have gone away on its own !
ReplyDeleteAll that eye stuff sounds really painful! I am purring it all heals fast.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, this sounds very painful and traumatic. Heal well and we will catch up with all of you when #1 is back and feels better (and can see)!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Oh no! We're sorry about the trouble with #1's eye, not to mention the lack of anaesthetic! At least you got to do some playing, though!"
