Dr. Jenkins calls to tell us that Odie is resting very well. They will do a “deep-pain” test tomorrow to see if he still has feeling in hindquarters. They said manipulation around the spinal column sometimes causes pressure on the nerves so they run the test a day after surgery.

We visit him around 8:00 PM to see how he’s doing. He’s sitting up, recognizes us and his tail is wagging. This is a good sign. The Doctor said the tail is the last to go and the first to come back. I pray this is the first to come back. I tell him that he’s a good boy and love him a lot. We go home after a 5-minute visit.
