My wife's therapist just told her that her new knee is doing so well that she can ditch the crutches and switch to a cane.

I'm sure that our three wolves are happy at this new state of affairs: one cane is less likely to fall over than two crutches, and its lower mass is less likely to hurt them when it hits their canine noggins.

This sounds like a very positive development.

I'm glad you're sticking up for her, and for your hounds.

Good news! And look at those three on the bed! My guys were on the bed, but it was time to wash cat blankies and when I took the one on the bed, they moved to the recliner.

It's a tough life.

The nice thing is that, with the help of the cane, she can walk without limping.

Now that her bionic knee is properly installed, she's ready to defend this country against Communists!

Except that, since she is a Democrat, that means she herself is an America-hating commie.

Aside from that, she manages not to limp, but sometimes it's difficult not to, especially when her knee clicks and catches. Our understanding is that what's going on is perfectly normal. Still, that is disconcerting.
