It's only 4:15 and Elliott is already awake from his surgery. We delivered him to the vet, met the personable and knowledgeable Dr. Joe, and lectured him about how important Elliott is to us. We left the vet close to 3pm. Dr. Caron called us a few minutes ago to let us know that the surgery went very well. There was very little arthritic change in the joint. There is no damage to the meniscus. The tear was about 50 percent. The surgery went very smoothly, no problems, and Elliott woke up very smoothly and calmly with no complications from the anaethesia.
Now, if we can get through the next 2-3 months without a reinjury, it should all be good.
Paul has gone to the store to buy me a large industrial size package of M&Ms, comfort food of choice during times like this.
Will post more tomorrow. Thank you everyone who was busy thinking good thoughts today.

Hi K9, I just caught up with your blog tonight and had to catch up on some reading about Elliot. Poor brave boy, but Madison and I are really glad to hear the news about the successful surgery.
Dog speed to a fast recovery, Elliot!
Donna & Madison
