I haven't been here as much as I'd like to have been the past couple of months, but I am trying to visit here at least nightly. The people here have helped me keep my sanity through all this. I need to be able to pay it ahead as well. I don't know what I would have done without the support here.
Glad we can all help.
Siounds like Maddie is well on the way to recovery. And yes, every poop is important. I remember how nervous I was about everything. Seems like so long ago.
Please keep us all posted on everything.

Yea for first poop!!
I think I posted before about Maggie's 'bad side', she was also a left rear amp. At first she wouldn't sit or lay on that side, if she fell on it she looked at me like I had kicked her.
Eventually it became her preferred side to sit and lay on. And she actually developed a sit and spin move on her amp side that she used as a pivot point to change directions.

Maddie's favorite side to sit and lay on his her amputation side. So she's somewhat frustrated that she can't lay on it. She tried once, and immediately jumped up and looked at me like 'what the heck was that'?
So I am sure as soon as it's felling less painful she will be laying on it again. She has a real fluffy pillow that I would think wuld be harder to get on and off of, but it seems to be her favorite right now. She even was sitting flat on her butt with it just earlier.
