Eilidh, the Greyhound

is a sweet, gentle five year old lady currently recovering from a massive stroke. It’s been about six weeks now and she’s really doing well. My friends adopted her from a greyhound rescue centre.
Thank you all heaps for your very welcome supportive comments and encouragement yesterday. It was just what I needed, and helped me get my head around what’s to happen now.
Anything that limits my mobility drives me crazy. I’m sure it does with most people. So I know I will put every effort into my physiotherapy. Geordie needs me out in the woods and up the hills with him.
I’m very disappointed in this arbitrary 50 year old cut-off point for surgery on torn ACL, which would have given me the best chance of recovering full mobility. There were no questions about my fitness or activity levels. But I was delighted to get a phone call from the physios first thing this morning arranging rehab. to start next Wednesday. So the consultant didn’t waste time arranging the referral.
