I'm going to try to get Nikky home today.
It's a 180 mile trip, but I'm going to give her one of her pain pills before we go. That will help with any pain she has from being lifted into the car, and will hopefully also let her sleep on the way.
She's walking a bit better, but is still very stiff and sore and is still prone to slipping if the floor is smooth. That's been a real problem at my parent's house with the hardwood floors.
This afternoon I let Ruger out and Nikky jumped up, wanting to go out.
The difference was that she didn't want to go out to do her business, she just wanted to look around. I think that's a pretty good sign.
We're all going to live downstairs for the next couple of weeks, though. I don't want her doing steps until I'm good and sure that she's able to make it up and down them without falling.
