denali-tplo surgery day 2 post op

They call the first 3 days post op the inflammatory/pain phase. Awesome. However, on day 2, our Denali came back to us. No more spacey doggie! She was super excited to wake up this morning (in our bed of course...don't tell her surgeon but she was NOT going to sleep on the nice comfy bed we set up for her on the floor). She also climbed up on the couch today before we could stop her. Stinker. She's not whining at all and is continuing to put a little weight on her leg. We're still using the sling to hold her steady while she's standing and walking but she could probably manage on her own. I think she got used to the injury and using 3 legs that this isn't a big deal to her. Her leg is bruising quite nicely now and it's a deep red color. Her incision looks good though and no leakage. Denali does NOT like the ice packs on her leg and does anything she can to get away from me. Luke had to keep her company and hold her still while I iced tonight. She's a little stir crazy today but as long as one of us is sitting in her little pen with her, she's okay. So we've been taking turns sitting with her so we could stretch our legs. I've never been so unproductive on a weekend. ha! Some day 2 post op pics:
