Once more, thank you all for your kind thoughts and suggestions. I have been told it will be a month before the Vet will be comfortable that it has healed. We are both taking it day by day. My little pooch gives so much back to me, which makes any short term limitations more tolerable. I did a little work on my current project last night after I put her to bed and I may continue with that. Even 10 minutes of sewing feels very therapeutic for me.
