Week 6

We just got the first x-ray results - looking GOOD!  Dr. Tommy estimates another 3 weeks and we can start rehab.  WOOPEE!

Meanwhile, we're feeling our oats.  Gigi has set a new routine for the family that includes group hugs on the floor (Pirate isn't allowed unless he BEGS her), Mom has to sit by the computer (even if she doesn't want to) and Cato is allotted his very own place at the Tapioca Ritual...everyone gets 4 bites (used to be 2 but we have to consider inflation...).

Gigi is more independent these days.  Getting up is clearly easier for her but assists are still appreciated.  Her rear joints still click but her gait is more even, and she'll eat "all standing" at times.  She also wants to go up and down the stairs  - "the ramp is for sissies, mom".

Occasional tramadol at night (only 1 now instead of 3) to make sleep better.   And we have permission to walk a block (on the flats) (if we had one).
