1 day after TTA surgery - the middle of the night

So, the time is now 2.42am.  Tonight's learning (so far) s:

- it clearly hurts after a major operation. It is very likely your dog will cry, at least until 2.42am

- the cone of shame may stop your dog from getting comfy, but unless you want to risk seeing metalwork when you wake up, put it on

- don't assume you will sleep. Why should you if your dog can't 

- by 2.46am, if you've given up on sleeping and taken the cone off, your dog might be a bit more comfortable and sleep for a while

- start a blog, it will give you something to do and stop you falling asleep yourself whilst the dog has respite from the cone of shame

- don't be sad if your dog still hasn't looked you in the eye
