TwiggysMom Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Thank you for asking about Twiggy! I'm sorry for not posting an update sooner. Twiggy has continued to make good progress. I would say she is probably at about 65 - 70% recovery now. Keeping in mind that pre-stroke was more like 90% & Twiggy's meter runs way past 100%! She is going on walks of about 5-6 blocks, tries to drag me down the street sprinting, and is adding old behaviors back into her routine regularly. She now jumps into bed with me often, spends lazy weekend mornings there with me, jumps up and down when I come home, complains that I'm not getting her breakfast/2nd breakfast/dinner ready fast enough, brings her bully sticks to one of her beds, stands right up next to me after walks for pets, fluffs her bed, etc. She also got into her first post-stroke mischief yesterday - she chewed a corner off of a mailing envelope. Each of these steps are so amazing for me to see. At this point, hardly anyone seeing her out & about would even know anything had happened (even people who know her very well). So I am very happy with her quality of life. She still has a head tilt when she wants something - that usually is FOOD! My little hungry, hungry hippo! (and she could stand to gain some weight, so she is getting supersized meals lately!) She also seems to have some trouble with spatial perception, she still wonks her head on door jambs if I don't direct her away from them, and she has more trouble going down sets of 2-3 steps than she used to. (This is a bit odd because she has been better at going down than up in recent years.) But overall, in true Twiggy style, she has made a really terrific recovery from the stroke!

DesiRayMom Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Twiggy is a strong, determined lady, but we'd like to think that it was that little boost of white light from her GT friends/admirers that got her over the hump. I'm sure Twiggy would look at me......"AS IF" Quote Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
