Kacys Reflections on our year
Ruby's smiling after a great year as a Tripawd
i can't believe it has only been a year. It seems like it was AGES ago that we were in the thick of Ruby's amputation after Histoplasmosis. It wasn't without its scares especially at first. We thought for sure she had relapsed at about 3 months but it turns out she had a few infections and sprained muscles along the way.
Shes doing great now but it's always a battle keeping her weight down especially because of the pred. She still is not able to hike far but loves her walks.
We will forever be indebted to the people who maintain and post regularly to this site. We wanted to stay in touch but of course life gets in the way !! But Ruby, Kacy and I will FOREVER love all of you.
TRIPAWDS RULE !!

Hi Lisa, great to hear from you and hear how well Ruby is doing!
Looks like you registered under a new name.... you were posting as rubysgram before I think. Anyway- that's why your post had to wait for approval.
Here is a link to your previous posts so others can catch up.
I don't see a picture, here is how to add photos to the forums.
Thanks again for the update. Ruby hasn't had an easy road, it's wonderful to know she is still hopping!

Thanks. Well I couldn't exactly remember and this site still confuses me. So I guess that's why I got a new password. I'll have to try again w the photos.
Ok so I've got the login straight now. Once again I'm Rubysgram like last time. Simply could not remember !! Chemobrain. Lol.
Hetes another try w the photos I guess: I'm going to try and update the blog too and maybe something will work.

Congratulations on one year beautiful Ruby! Steak, cake and ice cream are in order maybe in somewhat smaller portions because you're watching your weigh but still in order! Celebrating with you! Looking awesome pretty "red" lady!
