Our boy is home and the surgery went as well as could be expected. The hope being that all the cancer cells were removed with the gum and bone tissue excised from his lower left jaw.
He’s got to be on R&R for quite a while. The jaw is quite delicate right now with the removal of the bone section and needs to heal and rebuild. He won’t be doing any visiting for about a month. And, no rough-housing with youngster Annabelle!
I know the folks he visits will miss him a lot… and I will miss visiting – it’s a big part of my life and what makes me very happy. But – I’m over-joyed that James came through this well and he’ll resume his good work when he’s cleared by the vet to do so. In the meantime, he can rest at my feet while I’m writing my book and lie out in the garden while I’m weeding.
