Isn't that woeful? LOL. You'd have no muscle tone at all. So, I've dragged my big exercise bike out of mothballs and am also doing the exercises, fingers crossed that it might mean I can get mobile and go home early. Dundee didn't eat a lot tonight but I didn't push it because I don't know how much they got him to eat at the clinic.
No two people recover at the same rate from surgery, your age and what kind of health you're in made a difference. I hope you'll be feeling like OK soon. That is good news your boys are going better. It's so hard seeing a beloved pet in pain.
