If your baby has any complications, like an infection, that could delay the recovery. Much depends on what kind of procedure Shelby is having. Gracie had three procedures on each knee. I think you should be safe planning on 12 weeks. I just would not make any plans that you cannot get out of until you are sure Shelby is in the clear. |
Thanks...again!!!.... Shelby is such a nut, and is always looking for an adventure..... I KNOW that the first 4 weeks will be SO TOUGH for her (and me) BUT I plan on doing everything that I can to keep her confined and NOT bored. I plan on getting some new blankets, stuffed animals, small chewies, etc........ anything to keep her content in a playpen or stroller. I guess she will want to be on my lap, so maybe some new bows, haircare items, grooming items ..... she does like to be combed & brushed (it relaxes her and sometimes puts her to sleep
)
