Day #4

Maddie Mae is having a great day #4 post-op.

She is wanting to walk further even than I feel comfortable letting her right now. She still needs to take it a little easy.

The swelling underneath is about the same, and her incision is still looking great. I made a quick run to the store and came back to find that she had jumped up on the couch by herself. She is very steady on her feet and has had no problem doing her business. She’s actually been feeling quite playful this morning.

She is slightly disturbed that she can’t yet lay on her favorite side, which is the amputation side. Or lay on her belly, but I know all of this will come in time.

Still have not had to put the cone of shame on her yet, but that will probably change tomorrow when I go back to work and must leave her for the day.

I think it might be safer to put it on since I can’t monitor her to make sure she is leaving it alone.

So all is well and Maddie has decided to take a nap in the kitchen floor. I may join her, but from the couch 🙂
