I feel so happy. I feel so stupid. IT IS DIANA'S BAD EYE THAT WAS INJURED! Grandpère did not want me to look at Diana's injury last night, because the eye was hanging out. Since I am squeamish about blood and injuries, especially the eye, I chose not to look. I asked him if it was her good eye or the bad eye, and he said that it was the good eye. Now we have put drops in the bad eye, the eye with glaucoma, many times. I'd have known in an instant, if I had looked, whether it was the eye she was blind in, or the other. BUT I DIDN'T LOOK!
WHAT GOOD NEWS! The vet had talked with us about removing her bad eye previously, because it was difficult to keep the pressure from the glaucoma down, and she had little or no sight in it anyway, due to other problems.
She must have been hit by a car, because she has a small break in the bone under the eye, which the vet thinks will heal on it's own, and a lot of soreness in her head and neck area, but no other broken bones.
I feel as if we've had a miracle, even though we didn't. Thanks for all the prayers and support. Y'all are great!
THANKS BE TO GOD!
UPDATE: I just spoke to the technician who is caring for Diana at the vet's, and she said that she is still in a lot of pain in the head and neck area, so they had to give her pain medication, and she was asleep. Keep her in your prayers. Otherwise, she is doing well.
Yes, Mimi, that is Wonderful News! Glad it came out so well. She's a lucky dog.
ReplyDeleteYou can't see the big smile pasted on my face after reading this news. Saint Laika must have been interceding all along. Hooray! Now we keep the prayers going for the recovery and healing process.
ReplyDeleteGive Diana a hug for me. Happy to hear it worked out well

I'm so happy, but so embarrassed about getting myself, my family and friends, and my virtual friends unnecessarily concerned. I've had to make calls around this morning to give the good news - which is a lot better than calling about bad news.
ReplyDeleteI guess we did have a miracle, in that she was hit by a car and was not more gravely injured.
What about the driver? Did the person not know? Did they know and just drive on anyway? She's black, and it was after dark, so I guess it's possible that the driver would not have known. Best not to focus on that but rather rejoice that Diana will be fine.
((((Diana)))) ((((Mimi and Gpere))))
ReplyDeleteHoooray!
Alleluia!
ReplyDelete(And speaking of NOLA, I'll be there all of January. We'll have to meet.)
Fantastic. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks, all. You should see the permanent smile pasted on my face.
ReplyDeleteKirstin, we will have to meet this time. I look forward to it.
Hugs, congratulations, and HALLELUJAH!
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to feel stupid, you had no way to know, I'm glad that you are okay and that Diana may be petter off, other than some soreness.
peace and prayers
Hooray!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy! And the Empress will be delighted---she was very concerned about poor Diana.
Hugs to all of you.
I have been asking St. Francis to look after her too!
ReplyDeleteMany prayers for all of you!!
Praise God, St Francis did!
ReplyDeleteI was away all day, Mimi, and I'm only just catching up with my feed reader, so I saw your original post and commented before I saw this.
I'm so pleased - and happy for dear Diana, who must be a very special dog from the way you write about her...
As the Bard says, "All's well that ends well".
ReplyDeleteShe won't be home for a few days, and we miss her already. Maybe they'll let us visit tomorrow.
That's most excellent news! No need to feel embarrassed - we're all just so glad for Diana!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteexcellent news. Now she will get more time to run around the backyard.
ReplyDeleteThere you go. You didn't need my lousy prayers anyway.
ReplyDeletePoor little dog. Having to put up with you and then having an accident like this. Sometimes life is just not fair.
My four cats and I are praying for all of you. So sorry to read of Diana's accident. May God bless you and grant Diana a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the good wishes and prayers of the other pets among my visitors and the intercession of St. Laika, in addition to St. Francis. Diana will like that, too, when I tell her.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that I have ever known a more hard-hearted man than MadPriest.
Oh, Mimi -- I am so very happy. (I have a vet's dream dog and I love her dearly)
ReplyDeleteGreat news. Good I read this instead of in the order of posting.
ReplyDeleteYou can't know how happy we are. Thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers to pup and people.
ReplyDeleteAny accident is serious. Glad it was no worse.
Nina! It's good to have you here. Yes, it was no piece of cake, and Diana is sore and in pain, but we're so relieved that she can still see.
ReplyDeleteI see that you're posting again. I did not now that. I'll go visit.
Mimi, I am so happy that she kept her good eye! That is wonderful news. give her a hug and a good scritch on the tummy from us.
ReplyDelete(We can't have a dog right now but we want one. We have lots of fish, who send their fishy best, especially the bettas who have the most personality and are wiggle dancing vigorously for Diana.)
IT
IT
IT, whoo-whoo! Fishy wiggle dancin'. Diana gonna love that.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party again.
ReplyDeleteTerrific news for both dogger and hoomins. I am so pleased for all of you.
Now may Diana's soreness go away quickly and the pain you had in your heart dissipate fast.
Thanks be to Godde, indeed. I am so glad.
ReplyDeletePax, C.
Thanks be to God indeed! I'm happy for you all.
ReplyDeleteThank you, all of you. We are so very grateful.
ReplyDeleteAnd after all the grief you gave the Mad One about not caring!
ReplyDeleteThat is good news. It's a pre-Advent miracle!
Now, has Diana become more reflective regarding the consequences of her actions?
Now, has Diana become more reflective regarding the consequences of her actions?
ReplyDeleteKJ, I fear not. I'll wager that she was chasing a cat, and she goes crazy when she does that. Nothing distracts her, and I mean NOTHING - not even a car coming at her.
All we can do is to be extra careful about the latches on the gates.
