Default Day 10

Thank you everyone for your well wishes in Bobby's recovery from FHO Surgery. Today he had his stitches removed and the doc is very pleased that he is using his leg as well as he is already. We take 4 to 5 short walks around the block a day and this has definitely helped with his leg stability.

We have one extension exercise to start where I pull is leg back as far as he will allow me while holding his tummy and we do the flex 10 times, 3 times a day until he is allowing the leg to be flexed back for full range of motion.

Bobby is only taking one pain med now, Metacam, so he willingly uses his leg without pain. Overall, this experience has been much better than I was imagining !!
