Been a while...

Well, it has been way too long since a post, but I was just watching Heidi walk around today and thought I should give an update.  She is doing great and I think still improving.  It's been about 3 and a half months since her last surgery.  Last time I posted, I was still a little concerned about the fact that she still did not bear as much weight on her left leg (the one we did the MMP surgery on in July).  The hubs and I were kind of wishing we had just stuck with the TTO like we did for her first knee.  I was convinced the MMP just did not give her the stability she got with the TTO, (which may be the case but it's hard to know).  However, little by little I feel like she is putting more weight on the left leg.  It's like it just took her a while to really trust that leg.  We've also ramped up her activity a good bit over the last month or so.  She now gets to play off leash for short periods of time, although she has not played off leash with other dogs.  I think we're ready to try one on one time with another dog, so hopefully we'll get a chance to let her do that in the next couple of weeks.  Well I'll keep you guys updated!  I hope you've enjoyed reading about Heidi's journey through 2 CCL tears.
