Recovery’s progressing…

I’m back from my travels, and Eowyn’s back from 10 days at the boarding kennel. I boarded her at the same vet that did the surgery, and they did a better job than I did at keeping her mostly immobile — but that means she’s lost a serious amount of muscle mass.

Since she doesn’t seem to be in any pain per say (just not willing to trust that leg — rightly so, as it’s all bone and tendon after not bearing any weight for five weeks!), I’ve started walking her again for very short walks in the morning and evening. The exercise has been good or her and being outside for a bit has calmed her down so that I can actually get some work done at night!
