Haven't had such a good day today. Slept badly last night. I was restless and fidgety. I keep twitching my leg. It feels weird. My owners gave me a morphine tablet in the evening because they thought I was in pain. It didn't seem to make much difference. They stayed with me all night again. I keep wanting to lick my bandage but I mustn't.

Luckily my stomach seems to have calmed down a bit today. I was farting like crazy when I got home! Really big smelly ones. My owners checked with the vet and apparently that's usual after anaesthetic ... your digestion shuts down and then takes some time to get back to normal. I don't know where I was supposed to go to the toilet when I was in hospital either. I couldn't go in the cage where I was lying ... I'm much too well-behaved for that. I think I must have held it in and that wasn't good for me. Been given probiotic tablets by my owners twice a day and I think that's helped get it all settled.

I've been sore today and haven't walked nearly as much. I probably overdid it yesterday in my excitement to be home. My owners have just taken me around the garden twice today. I didn't even want to be outside with my bone. It's got cold too. Talking of which, my temperature is normal - they've been checking it. 38.4 the first time and 37.9 the second. So, no sign of infection. Phew.

It's a bit boring and I want to be going out on walks and being taken in the car on trips to the river and stuff but I can't. I've got to rest and let this leg heal.
