One More Time

Two more medical visits this week. Dr. Hedlin at Aspenwood Animal Hospital takes x-rays to confirm that Jake has torn the CCL on the other rear leg. We were expecting that eventually. It’s pretty common. However, the left rear leg (the first one to tear) is actually stabilizing a bit so we’re happy about that. Surgery is still not an option due to the chemo, so we’re back to OrthoPets (at their new, expanded building) for his second leg brace. As usual, Martin and Amy Kaufman, and their staff were fantastic. And I can’t believe that we’re just two weeks away from the one-year anniversary of the cancer diagnosis. He was supposed to be gone last summer. So what if he wears two braces for walks now? He’s still here and cancer-free right now.
