How about Tink, have you talked to Barb?
As always, many thoughts and prayers for you both...Amen... |
Hey! Tink is doing well. Barb says she is eating well and has started trying to scoot around in her crate! Pete was quite suprised and very excited. He didn't think she would start that for a long time yet, if ever. I guess she pulls herself with her front legs and tries to maneuver her butt. She can't do it yet, but she's trying! Isn't that wonderful!
I asked about a cart for her and Pete says no, they want to start putting her in her sling more frequently to see if they can force some movement from her. This is so exciting. Won't it be grand if she can walk again one day soon or even just some day!?!
I'm boosting my prayers. My little Tinkerbrat - I love her so much.
As far as my pain and clotting - the pain was unexpected and so an ultrasound found some clotting at the back of the leg which they were able to promptly take care of with some movement restrictions and the addition of some meds. The test today showed the clots are dissolved - so great news there. The pain in the knee is getting easier and easier. Please pray for my back though. All this maneuvering and movement of realigned bones is causing my back to act up and I've had several episodes of bad pain down my leg as a result. We know the cause and treatment, it's just hard to deal with and will take some time to calm it down. I need physical and emotional strength to deal with it.
Thanks everyone.
