Smooth morning so far. Tess was a rock star getting up at 5:00. And once again, she didn't complain about not getting to eat or drink anything before surgery.
The nurse took her away at about 7:45 and we won't get an update until around 9:00.
The plan:
1. Tess goes to sleep
2. Cast comes off
3. Arthrogram and a gentle exam of the left hip which will tell us if it's stable. If it's not stable, they can't roll her onto that hip to operate on the right hip. If that's the case, she'll just get a new cast and we're done for the day. The right hip will be handled at some future point. But Dr. Novais thinks the left hip will be stable so...
4. Continue with the rip hip surgery
5. MRI to make sure both hips are in place
Like the January surgery, it should last into the afternoon.
The nurse will call us every hour with a check-in so we'll post anything interesting.
