Home!

Goosy and I are home!

We got home last night around 9pm. The trip went very well - she slept about 3/4 of the way. She's doing great today. Walking/running around absolutely fine. She is acting almost 100% normal! I am so amazed by how well she is doing :D I really couldn't ask for more. Oh, except for her to poop! She hasn't pooped since the night before the surgery (wednesday)...but she wasn't eating at all until yesterday. So I expect a poop very soon, hopefully. The pain medication has probably made her pretty constipated.

Here are a few more pictures...and also, I took a video of her at the vet. This was about 16 hours after the surgery and she still was highly medicated. Looking at this video now kind of makes me cringe because of how terribly she is bouncing around. Compared to now, that looks scary! Anyways, here is the video. (also, the fluid/bloody discharge falling from her leg is pretty gross at the beginning)



I'm going to get a video of her walking later today when I take her for a tiny stroll up the street. I'll post it later tonight.

Here are the pictures

Icing her down with a bag of frozen broccoli:

Oh! I also completely forgot to mention another amazing person that helped with Lucy. Harry's dad not only gave Lucy a card with $100 in it...BUT, he also made her a customized sling! He works for a company that makes special slings and braces and stuff for NFL players! He specially made this sling to go around Lucy's tummy to help her getting around. It is so SO helpful getting her up the stairs. Harry and his family are the most amazing people I have ever met.

Another shot of the sling. The inner material (white part) is amazing! It's this super soft, but really rubbery, sticky sort of material. Basically it sticks right to her skin and gets an awesome grip on it so it doesn't slip off her belly. The vet said we could use a towel around her belly for support, but this is much, much better!

Oh, and Harry's parents brought her over the toy as well!

Here is her awake looking like she has no legs.

The incredibly roomy backseat.

The chauffeur.

And the wonderful storm we went through.
