Update, Well things are getting back to normal, she had the op a week ago now, the ear is still leaking & bleeding but the pain seems to have stopped, we had a fright on Sat night when puss appeared from the wound & we re admitted her to the ward for inspection, they now assure us she is OK & the "puss" is only the cream they used to sterilize the packing with before the pushed it in, if only they had said before we would have known. They said she should only leak clear fluid for a day or two , I am a bit suprised how long it has leaked for, the packing has to stay in for another two weeks yet!!! She has already fould the end and pulled some out - a bit like a magician with flags out of his ear! She has been well if a little concerened about the blood, but it didn't stop us getting to the park to see the old cars this week end ( I mean as well as Jaxis's!) She like them all especially the fire engines, her mum seemed to prefer the firemen! Daisy & me are off for two days together this week as she cant get back to school yet, we had a great time at Mac for breakfast then the park,shopping & pictures (The wild) we did do a bit of ironing in the middle of the day to prove I am house broken, unfortunatley Daisy tried to pick the iron up with both hands to give it to me!! so know one of her hands is blistered, luckly we were close to the water so it cooled quickly. Poor gal don't know what the hold 1st , her ear or or hand! roll on two weeks time!
