Grateful For Her Amputation

Despite losing Havanna six months after her amputation I wanted to convey to anyone reading this that I would do it all over again. I am not sure if the chemo did anything for us. The radiation probably helped and i’m sure the Codine, Rimadyl and Tramadol helped. But what gave Jack her life back for what she had of it was that amputation. Two weeks to heal and the pain from her primary site was gone and she was playing like a puppy again and did so for about four more months. Unfortunately it later spread to the hip and rib and ultimately it was a mass that was on a soft tissue area that took her. But during her good months following the amputation she had a blast. We took the best walks, she chased the squirrels and birds and she played again with her toys and my two other huskies. Here’s a video shot two days after getting her sutures out. So like day 16 after the amputation. See for your self if it was the right decision.
