As of today, Monday, August 8, 2010 it has been 6 weeks since surgery.
Dr. Porter had said that if Leo had been in a cast, he'd come out of it after 6 weeks so I think not keeping him in the brace is OK. Although I feel like if I took him on a walk farther from home, I'd definitely still want that protection. But I also feel anxiety of separating from it. The brace was so integral in Leo's rehabilitation. It worked so well... I guess I'm so surprised that the time has finally come. The leg is still weak since the leg muscles have atrophied quite a bit but Dr. Porter said that would just take time to build them up. He was very happy with how he has healed over all. I owe him a phone call this week.
I weighed Leo the other day and he had lost 3/4 kg. His digestion is good but maybe he's not eating as much. It may be attributed to muscle loss but in another few weeks I'm sure he'll average out. In any case, Leo is behaving very healthy and happy. :)
