LILY My story
 THIS IS ME, LILY
 I have had a rough time, but expect it to improve soon!Â
Here is my story. In my other life, somehow a string got tied around my left rear leg. No one seemed to notice it, but when they did and found out how expensive it was to fix the leg……..well they dropped me off at an animal shelter. I was in pretty bad shape. The kind people at the shelter contacted a rescue and my new life started! At first they tried to save my leg, but it hurt a lot! And was pretty damaged. They tried to amputate but when they knocked me out my vitals went wacky so they woke me up. But finally they had no choice, the leg had to go. And to just about everyone’s surprise I survived! It felt so good to get that leg off! But I had been fighting MRSA among other things and I had  an appointment to get my dressing changed and….started bleeding, guess everyone else had high blood pressure, while mine was going down fast. I had two units of blood and one unit of plasma. But…I survived!
My foster mom and my adopted mom were very scared, others were too. I think I might have seen some grey hairs in the Doctor and his staff at my last bandage change.
I get my wound closed this week, Wednesday or Thursday. And I wasn’t going to mention it, because I am hoping it won’t happen, maybe have my ulcerated eye removed. But… I can walk with 3 legs, so I am sure I can see with one eye!
And you know what? I SURVIVED!
Today, March 26, 2015, I had surgery to close my original surgery site. I did real good! And I wanted to share my safe spot my new mom made for me.
She doesn’t want me frightened or bothered by my brothers and sisters while I heal! I told her not to worry.
I SURVIVED!
