We are now on our 9th day of keeping Lainey on bed rest because of her torn ACL. The first 6-7 days weren't that bad because she was in pain and would sleep most of the day due to her pain medication. The last 48 hours however, have been torture. Her pain is obviously improving because she wants so badly to play and simply get out and run!
Surgery is next Wednesday so we only have to deal with her being stressed for another few days...we can do it! But, what really scares me is after the surgery. I know the first couple weeks she won't feel the greatest, but what are we going to do after that? It is impossible to keep her occupied and "resting" 24 hours a day. My stress and anxiety are at an all-time high right now anticipating her recovery process.
My heart just breaks when I see her so sad...And I hate being the "bad guy" who makes her stay caged up all day long. Hopefully, she won't hold any grudges after this is all said and done!
I mean...Look at how pathetic she looks

You can do it! Although she doesn't understand why she is caged up, you know that you are doing what you need to do to keep her healthy and safe.
