Back in the Saddle

Trish had arthroscopic surgery on her 'good' leg a week ago today.  The knee was swollen up to double size for 3 days and there was considerable pain.  She weaned herself off of the prescription pain meds early on, didn't like the space cadet side effects.

The swelling has gone down a lot, enough to hit the saddle on her stationary bike a couple days ago.  She's hell bent to get that puppy back in working order ASAP.  She's back to driving already, took Ranger to the assisting living center yesterday, then followed up with an evening training session with Artie, aka Little Shit.

Artie did just fine.  Not surprising since Trish has been working with him for several months now, and she's darn good at it, could be a pro trainer.  In fact, she does teach a therapy dog class for the local Pet Partners group.

Anyway, she's back in the saddle and hopeful that the arthro procedure will keep here there a few years.

  1. Hey, Hey Trish!! Here's hoping for a fast and full recovery!! Your three boys need you!! Happy to hear that Artie is coming along with his training. Perhaps even better than Delaney?? Take it easy with the PT, and don't over do it!
