Next doctor visit is on Wednesday. I made it through the weekend with no antibiotics and everything looks good to me. I have lots of pix that you don't get to see :-) but they show the improvement day to day, which is way better than the alternative.
The weather was lovely on Saturday so we got in a hike. We only went up about 1/3 of the way and took it very slowly, but it was great to be back on the trail!
And now a plug for insurance: thank heaven. Just looked at some of the claims and the first surgery (2.5 hours, 1 night in hospital, not including doctors) was billed at $78k. Yes, you read that right. The negotiated price is $14k (interesting, isn't it?). Our portion will be a fraction of that.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, full reconstruction is covered on both sides (matched set).
If you don't have insurance, now's the time. Because you never know.
Happy to see the dog looking perky. But you know there is a lot of research about the benefits pets can bring to the healing process. Glad your back on the every day is an improvement track. DD
