Okay, another Gus update. He went to the doctor today and had x-rays of the knee. What a cool knee he has! There are 4 long screws holding a steel plate that is sort of curved to fit around the bone. The surgeon says he is doing perfectly; now the hard part comes, trying to keep him from doing too much. He goes back for a final check in 2 months. Gus thinks he is all better. But this snow doesn't help things. He has a little trouble walking in it. And I can walk him for longer periods of time now; still no stairs. I will be so glad to be able to sleep in my own bed again.
