Today we were all ready to get Coda’s surgery performed, and to begin the long rehab. To those who don’t know, Coda most likely has a partially torn ACL in his knee. I say most likely because he’s on the minor side as far as any symptoms go, but will limp a little at night if we take him out and exercise him.
Anyway, ACL’s don’t heal, so he needs to have a surgery to return to full form.
Well Jen and I ran out to lunch while the place (down in Colorado Springs) was prepping him for surgery. They ran a full blood test, and called us because Coda’s platelets are low. They ran it 3 times. Apparently the low end of normal is 200k platelets, and Codas tests varied between 150k-180k. They ran some other tests and had the internal medicine place next door look at them too. They ruled out some things like tick-born diseases and auto immune problems… but otherwise they don’t really know. So now we wait to hear the full blood test report from an outside lab that they are sending out to. They did give him some morphine to prep for the procedure before they discovered the issue, so Coda is a bit droopy eyed today.
I hope my buddy is ok 
So does Jen.
