This morning Romeo had his visit to the vet to remove his drain. Romeo managed to jump into the car by himself and got out of the car at the vet’s without too much fuss. Everyone has been very impressed with his progress and he got another thumbs up today.
The drain came out and now the holes get to heal up. He gets to keep his bandage on until he is less oozy. Next his staples come out at the end of the week. So we’re making progress.
Tomorrow we get to talk to OSU about starting chemo.
Today was the first day since Romeo’s surgery that Trent and I were both back to work. Romeo got to spend the day in my office. He has come to work before and has done ok; he can be a bit demanding when he decides he doesn’t want to be left alone but is very content to sleep when I’m at my desk.
Today was the best he has ever done at work. I spent several chunks of this afternoon helping in other areas of the shelter and Romeo was perfectly content to sleep. Of course he had his big fluffy dog bed and lots of space to stretch out.
I may try to take him with me the rest of the week, at least until his staples are out. We’ll see how he does.

Oh and in case you’re curious, yes the bandage is as pathetic as it looks. I just barely put on enough vet wrap to hold padding over his oozy spots so he wouldn’t drip all over the office. Maybe tomorrow’s bandage will be nicer.
