Glad the surgery went well!
My Cookie is a wild child and when she had her CCL repaired, I used the stroller as yorkiemini said. She was in that thing for 6 weeks and loved it! When she was free to be out of it, she kept trying to get back in it. It was SO funny. I DO recommend that, if you use a stroller, you secure her well. They can get hurt jumping out. You of course can cover it (close it), but I didn't have to do that. She was happy to be moving around with me from room to room: but she was leashed in, of course.
At night I would put it right next to my bed. Everyone who knows Cookie could not believe how well she adapted to it.
