D-Day

In just over an hour we’ll be setting off for Stanmore – today is the day Harri’s frog plaster comes off. She’ll have an X-ray and we should know in the following consultation whether the procedure has worked or not. Whatever happens she’ll go into a harness for up to 22 hours a day (this will quickly lessen over the next few weeks – by six weeks in she’ll only be wearing it at night).

She’s ready for this, as she’s starting putting weight on both legs – hopefully that’s a good sign, although she does tend to favour her right leg, which was the less afflicted of the two. With a bit of luck I’m reading too much into that, but it’s almost a pre-requisite with my character to take nothing for granted, so I’m trying to remain carefully neutral. I’ll obviously update the blog later – hopefully late this afternoon.
