Day 33, Wednesday: He was up and ready to go this morning! Has anyone mentioned to him that he is still crippled? Took him to school and let the kids feel sorry for him. Gave him a bit more kitchen, and for the most part, he did not abuse it. Any jumping around and he gets re-restricted to his bed. Walks are confined to up and down the street after peeing.
Day 32, Thursday: PT today - he worked hard in the water treadmill. Came home exhausted but still strained to walk walk walk...and no limp to speak of!
Day 31, Friday: He still does a terrible job of turning and pivoting, which didn't keep him from startling twice, unfortunately. Overall, doing pretty well with routine. ONE MONTH from today we go back to check his leg.
Day 30, Saturday: Took Tiko outside, where he was grumpy because he couldn't run around. Still really favoring leg weight-wise. Moving around a bit more constantly....a mixed blessing.
Day 29, Sunday: We are all looking for a harmony to find our way...leg is warm to the touch today, and massage seems to feel good. Wants to go...anywhere, probably! Had to re-restrict kitchen - sorry Tiko!
Day 28, Monday: Doing better with more restriction - have to give him treats seemingly constantly, and he had some digestive issues today...now his diet his limited too. Very active today and making himself SORE so gave him a bit more sedative (I have been giving him 1/4 Ace with each meal - he can have as much as 1 1/2, but he is very sensitive to it! The students say he looks completely stoned...)
Day 27, Tuesday: The grandkids (7, 5, and 2) came over today and Tiko, normally happy to see them, was very uneasy and agitated. Luckily he was very tired from PT, so he ate, took his 1/4 Ace and crashed. Nighty night, Tiko!
