Mele - Surgery and recovery

Mele's surgery was on the 2nd of November, everything went well and we picked her up the next day. She was a little groggy from painkillers but was pleased to see us, we were thrilled to see her looking so well but a little groggy from being told she would have to live in a crate for 16 weeks! aaagh.
The drive home was uneventful and much to our surprise went in to her new home without much trama. Even though she is still pretty sedated we can tell that crate life is going to be very hard on Mele especially not being able to romp with her buddies. We are planning to have her in the office with us whenever we can and will re-arrange John's bedroom, putting the mattress on the floor so she does not have to sleep by herself.
While her leg is obviously still very sore, she is able to walk on it with the aid of a belly sling. We are taking her out to the back garden every 4- 6 hours and she has been able to pee on a number of occasions, though "number 2" still elludes us.
