2 weeks today!

Well we hit the 2 week mark this morning! The past week has been full of ups and downs, but for the most part Kona's recovery is going amazing!

The incision looks fantastic! Bruising is almost gone, and the swelling is down to very minimal! I need to get a recent picture, because I'm excited at how well it's healed! Gold star!! And she's down to one pain med a day! Woo!

We've finally passed the rainy weather spell we seemed to be stuck in for the past 2 weeks, and I'm SO thankful to see the sun today! Although miss whiney inside isn't too thrilled that she can't be out working on her tan! She made it quiet clear this morning that she wasn't impressed!

During a torrental downpour a couple days ago, she lost her footing on the slippery grass while in the middle of her pee dance and happy tail - and gave me a heart attack when her leg slid right out from under her!! I'm pretty sure I saw another surgery bill flashing before my eyes!
She seemed to be fine, and I kept a super close eye on her the next day or so for any increased signs of limping or heat.

Her energy is 100%+ back! I like it better when she's drugged up on pain meds! Jeez Kona - how dare you be happy!! Stop having FUN in the rain!! You're easier to handle when you're depressed! Now go back in your pen like a good little 75lb livewire!

Stiches were supposed to come out tomorrow - and I almost did a happy dance this morning when I thought about it until I remembered the vet had to reschedule until NEXT Tuesday because the physiotherapist wouldn't be able to make it for the appointment. She gets her first physio session right after! Yep - 5 more DAYS of cone-headedness and extreme scratching. Poor girl -I swear if she gives me the ears and the sad eyes one more time when I put it back on...I'M going to cry!

Sam has slept every night (and most days when he's inside) cuddled up as close as he can get to Kona's pen. And NOT rubbing in the fact that he gets to go outside and swim when she can't!

They're a strange kind of special :)
