Milo's leg is still not fully in the right place - he holds it a little crocked, but at least he's holding it now (and it's not jello). He has been able to walk several steps in a row using his leg when we go outside to the bathroom, and is stretching it back as well! One big thing is that he is willing to put some weight on the leg when he loses his balance. He has been knocked off guard a few times today by Marley and has been able to catch himself with his right leg.
He still wants to move quickly to respond to the door, or a strange noise. When he does this, he does not use his leg more than one or two steps.
We have been watching over him like a hawk to keep him from jumping on/off the couch and the bed. It's difficult, and today was our first slip up - he jumped up on the couch. He's quick with his movements, so you have to be really fast to even catch him. From the looks of it, he partially used his leg to lift him up. I was amazed to see him get up there, but have no plans to let him continue. Hoping he does not do that again for awhile.
There is a small amount of swelling at the incision today. Kind of like a round spot of fluid. It's around an inch or so at the top of the incision and just showed up today.
