stairway to recovery
Posted in Uncategorized on December 9, 2010 byHi all,
Well, I couldn’t figure out how to fix my new ruff-wear harness so that it wouldn’t block Lyndon’s weener (no offense to you dauchsunds). His Little winky was always a little further forward than my other male dogs. So, Lyndon is back to donning his old run-of-the-mill harness. The funny thing is that he seems more comfortable in his old cloths. He has been a little less lazy and more confident trying to go up and down the stairs himself. The last few days the only stairs he won’t try on his own are the deck stairs. It’s only four steps, but the wood is a bit slippery.
I think that I will still use the ruffwear harness when we take Lyndon for a walk. Untill then I think that Lyndon is doing great on the stairs, although Scampers is still trying to prevent him from getting to the top.
The incision area is looking really good, and he has stopped trying to lick it. Lyn has also started laying on that side, which is a big step forward because before now he would squeal when ever he tried to lay on his bad side.
Our last update with the doctor is that they are pretty sure Lyndon is 100% cancer free now that the leg is gone. I feel so lucky and grateful. I’m still waiting on the result of the biopsy. They know it was some type of soft tissue sarcoma, but they aren’t entirely sure which kind. Its been quite a while that I have been waiting for it, so I’m going to have to call in again.
Well, till next time… TTFN
