One month down on the left leg, 2 weeks for the right. All stitches are out now. Only 10 more weeks to go before we can start getting back to normal...which seems at this point still a far point on the horizon.
Raven's left leg still seems to be a bit more painful than his right, and if he walks too much he cries when he stretches. Every couple of nights, he'll wake us up with his pitiful wails signifying he just stretched, but all we can do is hold him in our arms and pet him for comfort...along with pain meds of course.
It's getting harder to keep Raven safe with his energy returning combined with his pain reducing because he just want to play so desperately. He groans with boredom, and we can tell he is sick of laying down all the time, and so is Sula. We constantly have to monitor them when they are together and make sure they are at least laying down while playing. They make due, even though they want to rough-house and rip each other to shreds (playfully, of course). We never leave them alone in a room together just in case Raven might trip over Sula, or she might pounce on him and knock his wobbly body over.
