    Nearly Five Weeks Post-Op!

    Not really a lot new to report.

    She's doing a short (15 to 20 minute) walks a few times a day, Figure 8s, hill work, and sit-to-stand exercises. She's on hydrotherapy and PT at the surgeon's twice a week.

    She was in yesterday, and they said she's looking good. She was tested on her sit-to-stands and we received some advice on how to improve these (though she's doing pretty well). The surgery leg has lost some muscle mass (which is expected), but they were happy with how little.

    She's also down six lbs, which was good news. We hope to get her down a total of ten.

    Time marches on. Three more weeks until her post-op x-rays.
