Update

My first night at home was tough. I woke up every 4-5 hours because of the pain. Then I got painkillers and was able to sleep again for a few hours.

At 3:30am Baasje helped me into the bed, so I could sleep next to vrouwtje. But because I layed on baasjes side, he had no room anymore so he went to sleep on the sofa. At six I was awake again - it was a short night for all of us.

I slept a lot throughout the day, very likely because of the medications I have to take. Baasje and vrouwtje also let me be without the fennel, as long as they are around and can make sure, I won't lick or bit by leg. But they say that it will have to be put back on whenever they are not there.

Later on Saturday Baasje and vrouwtje took me outside. I was so excited!! I kept pulling on the leash because I couldn't wait to get to the park. But baasje put the leash very short and I had to stay on it the whole time. That's not what I'm used to but at least I could do my business outside. After just 5 minutes we went back already as I'm not allowed to run around much.

In the evening vrouwtje washed me a bit. That felt good because I smelled like hospital and was dirty from the surgery still. I can't take a shower for as long as I have that thing on my leg so the next months the washing glove will have to do.

The night from Saturday to Sunday was much better. I was awake during the night but only once. I fell asleep soon again and didn't need painkillers until the morning.

Today I wasn't allowed outside because I need to rest. I have a soft bubble on my leg, just above my heal. Baasje and vrouwtje were worried, so they called the vet. He said it's fluid and normal. As long as it is soft and I don't have a fever, it is ok. Tomorrow I need to go to the vet anyways for the first adjustment so he can check it out.

I was more active today already, walked around in the apartment and even tried to be as active as always. But that doesn't work and my owners always tell me no if I try too much. Sometimes I get restless and don't really know what to with myself. I don't feel good enough to play with my toys yet. As I seem to get frustrated and sad by that, baasje put them away for now. But mainly I still sleep a lot, luckily I have figured out already how to lay or sit the best.

Tomorrow vrouwtje and baasje have to go to work again and I know they are worried about my being alone. But they have moved every furniture against the walls so that I have enough space to walk around without problems.
