All normal here mates!

Howdy Everybuddy, well things are getting back to normal at our place.  Rory has started walking unaided, still wobbly and sometimes his leg gives out and he suddenly sits down but all in all he's fabaroony.

Our home has mats everywhere cause Rory sometimes slips on the lino, butt mum has found this non slip stuff and we've put that on the floor for now.

See Rory, ya can't slip here.

Nope, even on three legs, still not slipping.

This nursing job has taken it out of me.

 Ahhhh, peace and quiet.  

Stay there flat toy, I'm gonna chew you later.

Hurray, I can get into the lounge room now.  

Hey, what's going on outside.  

Hey S T E L L A..... come and see this.

BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK BARK BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK..........  
(Mum sighs in the background. They love the sound of their own voices!)

See ya mates

No worries, and love, Stella and Rory (wobbly walkin' dude)

 

 

Rory's Walking Videos

Howdy Everybuddy, I wanted to show you how I have been. These videos were taken this morning at our local oval.  It is 19 days since my embolism.

This first video shows me walking with Dad with slight support.  I was helped to a standing position to start walking.

This next video is me walking alone and my very first attempt to scratch my ear with my dodgy left rear leg.  Mum says even though it looks unco-ordinated, it is just like I used be.  

This last video shows me trying to get up but my dodgy leg just gets in the way and I slide along.  Pfffft.  Stoopid leg.  Don't worry mates, it doesn't hurt me when I slide along.  After this video mum and dad made me sit and we practiced a few more times and I was successful in getting up on some attempts.   This is the thing we need to practice the most. We don't know why this video is a bit blurry.

This afternoon I walked around outside ON MY OWN for a minute or so but mum keeps telling me to be careful and go slow butt I want to walk fast.  Mum is sooooo excited.  

I feel sorry for her cause her arms will go all saggy baggy again, poor old girl.  

To all the mums and dads in Blogville, can you PLEASE give all my mates a SPECIAL TREAT because their support has helped get me back up on my own four feet.  I still have a way to go butt we are getting there.  Yaahooooooo!

No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stellie (proud big sissy)

This special girl has been an absolute darling during Rory's rehab.  We love her to bits!

Rory Update

Howdy Mates.  Friday morning here.  Our daughter was leaving after her birthday celebrations last night and we were saying goodbye at the front door.  Heard a strange bark from Rory and came back inside to see him STANDING UP in the middle of the family room!!! This morning he stood again.  This is such an amazing thing as he has not been able to get himself upright since his trauma.  

His walking has improved (still with help of the sling) and left back leg is strengthening.  The left back foot is still turning under at times when he walks, so we continue to flip it back to its normal position especially when he stands to drink and eat. 
We're going to get there mates.  

This sweet girl misses playing bitey face.

Even through Rory's rehab , he still makes us laugh.

Check out his flagpole tail!  Sorry Rory, hehe.

(and yes he has movement in his tail, it still wags for us).

 

Take care all.  No worries, and love, Carol
