Muscle wasting happens so quickly, doesn't it? I found it scary during that time because I knew when she was relying more on the good leg and putting more stress it that the risk was higher that she would injure that one, too. |
Yes, it is a little scary, because she has mild LP in her good leg, and I'm hoping that she doesn't injure it while she is rehabilitating her operated leg. So far, so good. I found an excellent article on rehabilitation following MPL surgery, and so far, Bella is right on schedule:

The recovery for MPL surgery alone must be quicker than the recovery for MPL + CCL.
I'm taking Bella out for figure 8 walking after I get home from work.
