Pita had surgery on March 7 2007, so a little over a year ago. I don't think I ever cried so mush in my life than the day I came home and found her dragging herself down the hallway, with a wild scared look in her eyes. it was the worst! She is better now, I care for her the best I can and realize it can happen again without any reason. I will get her a wheelchair if need be to help her walk, but I do not know if I would put her through that surgery again. That was really tough on her and me :-( -- em :-)
