Still Truckin' along :)

Hi everyone!

It's been a really long time sine I updated everyone on how I'm doing because I keep telling my mom to upload new pictures of me so I can post them but she doesn't so I'll just have to update you without pictures. Maybe one of these days she'll upload pictures so you can see how I'm doing! :)

Lets see....since the last time I've updated you I've started feeling a lot better! I've had my pain patch off for about a week now. I am a lot more awake now that that thing is off but it was soo sticky that I still have some black stuff on my leg because of it. I've done a really good job of not licking my sutures and I haven't had to wear the collar of shame at all. My hair is really starting to grow back and my dad is concerned that they will have to shave my leg again to get the sutures out. I hope not. My leg gets cold when I go outside!

Speaking of outside I LOVE LOVE LOVE to go outside and lay in my back yard. Mom and Dad make me go out on a leash but I don't mind too much. The last couple days they have let me go out on my deck all by myself. They put the baby gate in front of the steps so I can't go in the back yard and also put my bed out on the deck. Now that it has warmed up a little bit I spend a lot of time laying out there! It makes me feel a lot better when I can go outside and relax.

I spent about the first 10 days mostly sleeping on my bed in my bedroom and really didn't show much intrest in getting up except to go outside or eating. The last few days I have spent most of my time in the living room laying in front of the door or trying to jump on the couch and the best news is I'M EATING AGAIN!!! Mom was feeding me this wet food and I really didn't like it very well but I didn't like my regular dry food either. She bought me the same kind of food my friend Bristol eats and I LOVE it!!! When Bristol came to stay with us I ate her food instead of my food and I still like it.

I've been trying to jump up on the couches a lot and have made it up there several times. I also tried to jump up on Mom and Dad's bed too. They tell me that I shouldn't do that but I don't see why it matters. I'm not using my back leg anyway so its not like I'm hurting it. Dad built me a ramp though so I can walk up the ramp to get on the couches. I'm MUCH happier now that I can lay on my couch!!!

My mom called the doctor's office today because she was worried that I still wasn't using my leg. The lady at the doctor's office told her that I shoudl come back in for a visit on Thursday and my doctor will look at my leg and see if I need physical therapy. One of the things I can do in physical therapy is swim. Mom was pretty excited about that because she wants me to learn how to swim. I'm not so sure about that though. I also get to get my sutures out on Thursday when I go back to see the doctor too! That will be nice because they sure are itchy!!!

Well it's about bedtime for me. Hopefully mom will upload pictures of what I've been doing so I can share them with you! Talk to you all soon!

Doc :)
