And now the second knee!!!

We were Two months and 2 days post op when I heard a piercing scream from the other room. Tipper came limping into the kitchen on three legs. At first I thought she had injured the knee that was just repaired but then with a sickening feeling in my gut I realized it was the other leg! 
I tried to tell my self it was nothing serious and she would be fine in the morning. But of course she wasn't. 
When the vet walked into the room he took one look at her and shook his head. It was then I knew we were in for another long 8 weeks. Thank god we had just finished our rehab and the repaired leg was 100% weight bearing. 
So today I packed her blanket and Elizabethan collar and off to the vets we went for surgery. If we are lucky, it will be another torn meniscus and not the ACL. Surgery won't be til after lunch and now  I wait for the vet to call and tell me all went well.
