Friday morning we took Lulu back to Buffalo Grove Specialty Center for her check up with Dr. Wood and got a clean bill of health! Dr. Wood indicated that nerves in Lu’s hind legs are responding normally which is the last function to come back after the type of surgery she had. We were advised to gradually get her back to a normal routine over the next six weeks and to “let her enjoy being a dog again.” Therapy is to be kicked into high gear. We should take her swimming every other day until the weather turns. This will help improve the lost muscle tone in her legs. While Lu has already come a long way, Dr. Wood said that she can continue to improve until 6 months post-op. We have our work cut out for us to make sure she does.
Gus got to come with us to the clinic for moral support. As usual, the pair of them drew oos and aahs. A nice lady in the waiting room couldn’t get enough of them and spent time talking to them and complimenting their good looks. Hopefully they maintain their charm this weekend. My good friend Melody is watching them at the house Friday and Saturday while Bill and I are out of town for a wedding. They’d better behave.
