Well, I am feeling much better than I was last week. I think my disk may have popped back in place or something because I have been running around - even though I'm not supposed to. I even had enough energy to bark at the mailman yesterday! Woof!

I'm still on my meds and I'm to stay off my feet for the next 3 weeks, but my vigor is a good sign. I am hopeful that this means my injury will not require surgery.

All this good news, however, comes at a price. I haven't been on a walk in a week and I might gain weight due to my lack of activity. This means that, after having lost 15 lbs last year, I may have to lose some more. Weight gain sucks.

Mom still isn't sure how I got this injury in the first place. Most likely, I had a seizure and fell, she says. My last seizure (in June) was the most severe that I've had. It was a literal grande mal that had me convulsing. So, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that a similar seizure last week could have caused my ruptured disk.

Well, I better get going. Mom doesn't want me exerting myself. Hope all is well with you, my friends!
