I had a long talk with Dr. Ford this morning and perhaps I haven't been listening to her all along. The reality is Fella's shoulder joint is damaged with arthritis. The joint is just about gone with nothing to give support to the front leg. The joint is so badly damaged that it can never be right again. Pain management is the only answer. So, for now we will try to do the best we can with the pain using the prescribed methods Dr. Ford has given. When Fella has had enough he will let us know. I will be taking a medical kit with us to Branson given to me by Dr. Ford with instructions and her phone number. I don’t want to take away his dignity so I will remember that is his care. As long as he is happy and eating well and able to walk around to take care of him self he and I will do the best we can to keep him with us.
