A low key kind of day

Although, it was a little gray, the ground was bare and the air was fresh when we arrived home this morning at 8:15. As we walked around the house, I was grateful for the dry ground – a LOT easier than the slushy ground last post-op.

BUT…a surprising one inch of snow fell mid-morning. It made everyone, including me, sleepy. I DID manage to grab a 10 minute cat nap on Bear’s bed as he was on his pads in the corner.

Even just over 24 hours post-op, Beardog on duty!

But mostly it was a low key kind of day. Bear did not seem uncomfortable at all except for figuring out how to deal with the bandage weight and stiffness. We’ll take that off tomorrow and I think he will feel more confident. He is already toe touching. It is just getting up and down that is awkward with the wrap.

I’m having my post-op fade. It will be an early night for all of us.

Bear is home

Bear is home. He reportedly slept well, kissed all who helped and checked on him, but would not go outside…walked to the door and then stopped.

Strange place, not the right person ???

He was happy to see me and sat up right away. When he saw the Gingerlead, he moved his front feet so I could put it under him. He wasted no time getting out of there but gave kisses to the tech when she bent down for a good bye.

Bear settled in the Jeep after a quick walk to a grassy area and home we came.

At home, Bear wanted to check the premises so we had a walk around the house before coming inside. Two short walks, a ride in the Jeep, a bit of cleanup to get rid of that clinic smell and Bear started fading.

Naptime.
