Ah the wonderful days of summer! I am enjoying my time outside with mommy... except she keeps me on this funny leash! Ah well, I guess I would probably run away if she didn't so I know its to keep me safe. I can still catch the grasshoppers and the flies and anything else that I can find out in the yard as we walk around! The only thing I'm beginning to realize is that I don't like it very much when there are loud booms in the afternoon! Mommy says its called thunder.. whatever it is I could go without it. At least mommy lets me curl up next to her and comforts me if I get nervous during them... that makes me feel much better!
As for an update with my leg, it is doing well! I am able to move it pretty much without an issue, however I still can not bend it 100% to what it was before my accident. So I kinda sit funny in the windowsill with my leg stretched in back of me, or when I sit and eat my leg kinda sticks out to the side. Mom says it gives me character tho, so I'm good with that! I'm just happy that I still have it :)
Well time to go cause trouble in the closet! Until next time! Meow!

Thank you for making me one of today's Diary Picks of the Day! It is quite the honor and I'm very excited! I will make sure to have lots of fun today and bug mommy for treats and perhaps even get to take a walk outside on the back deck! Ah how I love summer and the bugs and the chipmonks and watching them all through the door! Thanks again! Meow!

I am finally getting back to normal again. I know it has been awhile since I have posted a diary update but I just got SO excited about not having to be in my cage anymore that I forgot about adding a diary entry! Mommy doesn't think my leg is ever going to be the same, but honestly that is okay because it hasn't slowed me down one bit! I run, I jump, I tackle my brothers and sister, and best of all I am free! As time has progressed I can bend my hock joint a little more, but it still is hardly bending compared to my normal leg. The tendon is still very very tight because it was short when they repaired it. I still don't trust mommy right now, but the cage is nowhere to be found and I haven't been in it in so long that I guess maybe she's alright.. I've been giving her more lubbins lately, and if that works out and I still don't see the cage then I think everything is going to be just fine. I am growing up big and strong mommy says and she is very proud of me for getting through this difficult time. I told her I loved her last night by trying to climb up the back of her headboard on the bed.. she loves that! I hear her voice all the time when I do it! ;)

So my surgery went very well last Thursday to take the pin out of my ankle so that I can move my joint again! They put me in a funny bandage though and I hate it.. I keep thinking maybe if I shake it lots that it will come off, but so far it hasn't! Tricksie bandage! I'll get it yet... Anymeow, the doctor said that all my bones have healed and so did my tendon! He did say that the tendon was short so I will need to slowly stretch it out.. does anyone know what slowly means cuz I don't. Does that mean to pounce and run less? That really just won't work for me, I don't care what mommy says.. if the toy is there, I will pounce on it! It will be mine! Ok sorry getting distracted again! So tomorrow I go to have my bandage changed and then a week from then it comes off and I am out of my cage!!! I can't WAIT! Mommy has been nice and has been letting me out a little bit longer lately so I can get used to walking on my leg again.. but it is really hard with my bandage. Freedom is eight days away! WHEE!

Mommy loves me! Yesterday she brought me home this awesome catnip bed to lay on for my cage and it is the best thing ever! I just curl up on it and it is the purrfect size for me. Mommy also brought home a new toy for me today too! It is a nice round pedestal with a wire sticking out of it with a pom-pom and a bell at the end. It is small enough that I can bop it all around and play with it in my cage. Being caged is tough, but thankfully I have lots of nice things to keep me occupied while recovering from my injuries!

Well here we are one week later and I am SO sick of my cage! I just want to run around and "play" with my brothers and sister! Of course my definition of "play" is their definition of "annoy", but thats ok because it amuses me anyway! My mommy lets me out of the cage 1-2 times a day for 5-10 minutes so I can stretch out my legs and play for a little bit, but it never seems like long enough!! I've started to find that if I hide under the bed she has a really hard time trying to get me out and back into the cage. She got Daddy to come and get me out a few times and I figured he just came over to say hi, but I've learned that now he'll put me in the cage too! They think they are so tricky and all.. silly humans. I hate when they pull out the string however.. now that is something I CAN'T resist! Ah well.. it is fun while it lasts! It has been 3.5 weeks since my double femur/tendon fix surgery now and my original tibial fracture I got almost 6 weeks ago must be healed by now! Three weeks to go till my final surgery and then 2 more weeks to recover after that and I'm as good as new! Just keep the string coming!

So mommy got a call from the vet today and they said that in 4 weeks when my tendon is completely healed I have to go back in for surgery again to have the rod removed from my right hock and then I will be able to use it again!!! I'm a little scared about the surgery but I've been through several in the last month and I think I can handle a little one. I can't wait!!

So mommy took me to the vet today and we had our first check up! They said everything looked great with my leg and they showed my mom how to do some exercises on my hip to help heal my fractures and soft tissue injuries. The good news was that they said everything looked like it was healing very well and I might be able to use my tendon again! Only time will tell as it heals up more if they can take the pin out of my hock so I can use my joint again. In about 4-6 weeks (when I finally get to be out of my cage) we will have a better idea of what the situation will be. I had my stitches removed and I don't have to wear that annoying collar around my neck anymore horray!!! I was so happy that I sat and purred all night long in my cage and gave myself the best bath ever! I hope all check ups are like this one.
Life is good :)
