    We made it! 16 weeks (Bugsy)

     Good gracious me we have done it!

    16 weeks is the point after a TPLO in which full activity can be resumed if all is well.

    16 weeks ago today Bugsy had his TPLO and I am happy to say that he is now doing exceptionally well.  Yesterday he had his first 3 mile walk and had no signs of discomfort at any point during the day.

    He is back to spending time exploring and zooming outside daily.  In fact today after a post-blizzard walk (really) he had some snow zoomies which unfortunately continued inside up and down stairs and a few leaps over the coffee table.

    His energy levels are BACK (= mischief) and in fact last night I was watching him play keep-a-way with DH ON the stairs and thinking it isn't too long ago he could only go up and down them with a sling.

    Thanks for the support and thanks for letting me share this milestone.  I was a wreck going into this and several members on here helped me to make the decision and survive the rehab. Can't thank them enough
