Eye Surgery Appointment

Minnie on My Blog - Wed, August 15 2007

I'm getting my eye surgery on September 7th. Mom is already nervous! Some good news though - mom misunderstood about having it done twice. What they do is freeze my eyelid where the hairs aren't supposed to be growing. They only do that once. When I go back, they may have to pluck some of the hairs out that have come in since, but basically after one freeze the hair follicles die so while some hairs may come out of those follicles and need to be plucked, they won't grow any new hairs. I don't think I go under anestethic for plucking, probably just a tranquilizer. There are rare cases where the hairs come in somewhere else (where they didn't freeze), but we hope that doesn't happen!

That's OK, Daisy. It's good news for both us girls today! Mom felt a lot better knowing they only do the freezing once!

Minnie you are truly blessed to have found your new forever mom! What a wonderful new home it sounds like you have, with a family that would do anything for you! You may think the animal shelter was the worst place you could have ended up, but really it sounds like the best thing that could have happened! Good luck with your surgery. I am SURE it will go smoothly and you will feel much better after it is all over with!
