Thanks for asking! Grace is doing well. Yes, she's miffed about not being about to jump onto the bed or couch for 30 days and not being able to run in the snow. We are both camping out on the pile of pillows on the living room floor. It's only fair to her that I am camping out with her. The downside is that she is up at 4 am in the mornings now waking me with a shrill whine at the bedroom door, which I have closed. She really misses her bed.
Her incision is scabbing up nicely. There are under the skin and desolvable staples with skin glue holding the incision together. No going back in 2 weeks to have staples removed.
Her appetite is remarkable. She loves her new food, but hates not getting people food. It does smell awful coming back out from either end. The gas is really bad. And she is toying with the idea of putting weight on her leg already. She's perky and has a great attitude. Tomorrow might be different since I have to leave home to work tomorrow. On the upside, it's going to be one of those weeks where I don't have to leave home often.
Overall, this time has been better. Maybe it's because she is an ole pro at ACL surgery or maybe it's because she knows she'll feel a lot better after this is all over.
